🐂 Ngiu Chap · Kolam Centre, Luyang, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

🐖 Non-halalRM9–RM15

Order: Ngau chap mee kon lau — dry noodles with a bowl of mixed beef soup

The name that comes up every single time KK people argue about beef noodles. Tender slices, tendon and innards in a deep, peppery broth, with the noodles tossed dry on the side — so loved it now has a branch in Selangor.

Order: Herbal pork rib and knuckle bak kut teh with yau char kway

KK's undisputed BKT address, opposite the old Jesselton Hotel, with tables filling the moment it opens in the afternoon. A peppery-herbal claypot loaded with ribs, tails and innards — pair with fried dough and rice.
