Top of the list in Tawau: Kedai Kopi Hing Lee for Sang Nyuk Mee and Kam Ling Seafood Restaurant for Ikan Bakar.
🐖 Sang Nyuk Mee · Fajar Complex, Tawau, Sabah
Order: Tawau-style sang nyuk mee dressed in soy and lard
Tawau is where many say sang nyuk mee was born, and Hing Lee is the town's long-running standard-bearer. Noodles slicked with soy and lard, a side bowl of pork, meatballs and innards — small portions, big flavour.
🐠 Ikan Bakar · Tawau Town, Tawau, Sabah
Order: Black pepper crab, fresh prawns, fried squid rings
Tawau's standout seafood name, cooking the town's famously cheap and abundant catch Chinese-style. Pork-free kitchen.
