Kedai Kopi Fong Seng, Labuan

Labuan is a duty free island where you can get imported products such as chocolates, cigarettes, wines, liquors, beer and many more at a very low price. Some brands you get in Labuan is not available even in Kota Kinabalu. The beers sometimes are even cheaper than soft drinks.

I have to go there to visit my customers every two months. I like the shopping but not the flight schedule. We have to depart as early as 7.05am which means that we have to wake up as early as 5.30am. The flight will take 30 minutes and arrived at the hotel before 8.00am. Sometimes there are no rooms to check-in such an early hour, what we can do is to have our breakfast at the most popular "breakfast restaurant" for salesforce, the Kedai Kopi Fong Seng.

Situated just across the road from HSBC Bank, it serve the popular Foo Chow style dry noodle "Kon Lo Mee". The noodle is originally white colour because it never darkened using dark soya sauce as normal dry noodle do. It just use ingredients such as onion oil and etc for its flavour. However, recently it has started to use dark soya sauce, so we have to special request not to darkened it.

For me, prefer the fried rice noodle with additional sunny egg. I like complement my noodle with my favourite Soup Hati (Liver Soup). The first look will be just a simple bowl of soup. However, when you taste it, immediately the taste of the rice wine will boost your appetite for the rest of it. The soup contains eggs, pork liver and sometimes pork kidney with a dash of rice wine. The rice wine they use is not the common yellow type "wong chau"; its the Foo Chow style "ang chiew".

I don't know how to describe its taste. Just come and try it out!
