Kedai Kopi Ingat, Tawau

If you ask any salesperson who use to travel to Tawau frequently, most of them will know Ingat. This double story restaurant is located in Fajar just opposite Heritage Hotel in town. They open for breakfast, lunch and dinner; but more popular at night.

Their signature dish is the Assam Fish Head. Honestly, so far I have tried many Assam Fish Head and I think Ingat still serve the best. Not only the gravy is thick and strong in flavour, the fish head is also fresh; as you can taste it and from its meat texture. Anyway, Tawau is well-known for its cheap and fresh seafood.

It is serve together with other veggies like egg plant, ladies finger, tomato, chili and etc. making it a complete meal. The smallest portion can serve 2 person.

Another one of my favourite dishes is the Deep Fried Prawn with Salted Eggs Sauce. Fresh prawn are deep fried and mixed with a special sauce; made by mixing salted egg yolk with milk. Some salted egg white is added to enhance the flavour. Among all this dish I have tried elsewhere, Ingat's Deep Fried Prawn with Salted Egg Sauce is the heaviest in flavour. Some places' cooking....well you can barely taste the salted egg yolk. May be it's expensive.

The next dish one can try is the Fried Cabbage with Egg. They gave more eggs compared to other places. Almost like Fried Egg with Cabbage rather than Fried Cabbage with Egg. Taste?...Quite good.
