Kah Hiong Ngiu Chap
🐂 Ngiu Chap · Kolam Centre, Luyang, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
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.

cheesecake
Order: Cheesecakes
A cheesecake specialist with a near-perfect rating across more than a thousand reviews.
Yu Kee Bak Kut Teh
🫖 Bak Kut Teh · Gaya Street, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
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.
⚠️ Last confirmed before 2025 — check it is open before you go.
