It is situated in a village along Kota Kinabalu - Tambunan road with only a approximately 10cm x 30cm sign board written "Mee Sup Pipin" on the junction. Upon arrival, I was surprised that the place is fully parked with cars including luxury cars and the restaurant is so crowded. The place is actually converted from a private residence.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At first, they told me the "Sup Tulang" (Bone Soup) is good so I ordered one. At first I though it's the normal Malay style of Beef Bone Soup. To my surprise, it's Pork Bone Soup instead and it's just RM2 per bowl.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you feel that soup alone is not filling enough, you can order their popular noodle soup with the same soup base. I tried it and found that it's not bad. The base is clear while tasty. </span><br />

Have you personally tried the food?<br />
A. Yes. I have to teste the food before recommend it to readers.<br />
<br />
Q. Why some of the pictures looks blur and some even without flash?<br />
A. Most of my pictures are taken with only a 3 Mega Pixel compact camera or a N73 Nokia camera phone. I try to avoid using flash in order to go undercover. Sometimes if the restaurant owner suspected that you are doing review, they might provide you special service to put more efforts to prepare your order. This will result in different taste or service that people usually get from that particular restaurant.<br />
<br />
Q. Do you accept advertisement?<br />
A. Yes. Anyone interested can email me at foodsteps.sabah@gmail.com. However, it will only appear at the advertisement column. It won't appear in the review section unless I have tested the food and confirmed good.<br />
<br />
Q. Do the restaurant aware that you are reviewing their food?<br />
A. No. I always go undercover to before tasting. This is to ensure I tasted the taste that usually their customers are normally enjoying. However, some good chef deserves a praise; and I will only do it after I paid my bill and about to leave the restaurant.<br />
<br />
Q. Do you get to eat for free?<br />
A. No. I always pay my bill. Anyway, I always go undercover.....Where got free lunch in this world? Unless, its on a special invitation (some restaurants do invite food bloggers for food tasting).<br />
<br />
Q. How can readers get more information on certain places to eat?<br />
A. Readers can always email me at foodsteps.sabah@gmail.com for more information.<br />
<br />
Q. Why you invested so much time in writing this blog?<br />
A. Food is my passion, both cooking and eating. I would like to share it with more people and also to praise those chefs that have put in all they can to provide good food for their customers. Of course I also hope to get some advertisements advertised in my blog.<br />
<br />
Q. How can readers help you?<br />
A. Readers can help me by visiting those restaurants I featured in my blog, give their valuable comments and feedback; and also visit my sponsors' site.<br />
<br />
Q. You said you like cooking. Why there are no recipe shared in your blog?<br />
A. That will be in my second phase plan. Stay tuned! :)David Liewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797776378750387631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597138865857810848.post-898836630548517742009-11-03T20:55:00.000+08:002009-11-03T20:55:44.692+08:00Kedai Kopi Houng Kee<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpGFYM4Rnwy06duEH3H7MkyVyUimsaDuopDoZ80AHj93Un5RSxWfYEADi-_obK5ut-z9pbPHe-eRfDdOpqqkUiJ6Mni6ybMryECzN34xTZvoJwGxpAFGmOe6S6d5KLsQ9dGiqzdw9rR3Y/s1600-h/IMG_4233.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpGFYM4Rnwy06duEH3H7MkyVyUimsaDuopDoZ80AHj93Un5RSxWfYEADi-_obK5ut-z9pbPHe-eRfDdOpqqkUiJ6Mni6ybMryECzN34xTZvoJwGxpAFGmOe6S6d5KLsQ9dGiqzdw9rR3Y/s320/IMG_4233.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />

Kedai Kopi Houng Kee is situated at Damai Plaza, near the popular bread shop "Foo Yuen". They are well known for their mixed fish noodle. Just in case, mixed fish noodle is either noodle soup or dry style served with your choice of seafood like fish slice, fish ball, fish cake, fish maw, fish roe, fish stomach, fish lips and many more... You may also mixed it with other seafood like clam and prawn.<br />
<br />
However, I prefer their Tom Yam Noodle more. Although it taste and style is totally different from the original Thai's Tom Yam, I still like the taste. Its very thick and very unique. Hmmm... I will prefer to name it Seafood Laksa Lemak Noodle...hehehe<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Situated near Sunny Garden, 1.5 Mile of Jalan Tuaran, Kedai Restauran Kuo man serves the most popular homemade fish ball and homemade egg noodle. When someone mentioned homemade fish ball, they are the pioneer that no one are unaware of. Astro AEC's Jason also visited this restaurant for his food series which will be aired around October 2009.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The most popular on the menu will be the homemade fish ball "yu wat". We can safely says that most of the tables will order this item. Usually, they will eat it their popular home made egg noodle.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4UJxVvzRbZLu0II6XUTEnH6zY0cy5MJyCx9NYzaybeyBK3cvn-nIFPr7FGc3nTWrHUeIhaaGO2xw4B73mUkAFOR65iH64GSYCBtzOVxUdA5hwDBxFXDvLWmDY-xzA4pPPqAUc-jK9Obg/s1600-h/IMG_4292.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4UJxVvzRbZLu0II6XUTEnH6zY0cy5MJyCx9NYzaybeyBK3cvn-nIFPr7FGc3nTWrHUeIhaaGO2xw4B73mUkAFOR65iH64GSYCBtzOVxUdA5hwDBxFXDvLWmDY-xzA4pPPqAUc-jK9Obg/s320/IMG_4292.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Usually people will order only noodle "kosong" and separately another dish. For me, I prefer to order noodle with something inside especially fresh prawn and fresh fish fillet; and then order separately a bowl of homemade fish ball.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipdC5YU-gTai0vPatSHpbFJ6Cu15fJW6IqfzrDpDYx7X-4OIha6qKz_Z1qBCciARgekn3VLiWcv6_uRT0wTHYQp50KXjqJADWJcBnvM0QI9Rpe6TLF_3aw1P70eArMvsAQ2rCWBlbWuhc/s1600-h/IMG_4284.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipdC5YU-gTai0vPatSHpbFJ6Cu15fJW6IqfzrDpDYx7X-4OIha6qKz_Z1qBCciARgekn3VLiWcv6_uRT0wTHYQp50KXjqJADWJcBnvM0QI9Rpe6TLF_3aw1P70eArMvsAQ2rCWBlbWuhc/s320/IMG_4284.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also recommended in their menu is the beef slice and beef tendon in herbal soup. Give it a try or else you have never tried a real "yu wat".<br />

It was done by firstly deep fried the rice noodle until crispy and then poured on with delicious gravy.<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">What so special about Gerai Mei Wah's Crispy Fried Noodle is that the noodle is deep fried covered with eggs to make tastier. Not only that, the gravy was slowly cooked until you can see small pieces of meat floss in the gravy.<br />

However, there are other stalls that sell similar noodle with different styles of cooking. I still prefer Gerai Mei Wah which is situated at the corner nearest to the bus station. Give it a try and leave you comment. Enjoy! <br />

After touching down from Labuan, my friends and I went to a popular restaurant to have our lunch. Looking at the menu, I can't find one of the popular dish in the menu...the Steamed Fish Head in Black Bean Sauce. Then I asked one of my friend and she pointed out at the Chinese Characters which does not translate to what I wanted. As I cannot read Chinese, she double checked by reading out the Chinese Characters to me and suprisingly it's the dish I wanted to order which the English name wrongly transalated to "Black Pepper Steam Fish Head". hmmm.....</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"></div><br />

When heading to Papar from Kota Kinabalu, there is a small signboard on the right-hand side with the name "Taiwan Restaurant" pointing to the direction of a small junction leading to the restaurant.<br /><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 292px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 291px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347954406152852546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRmKXNiDveCqWMz014DBYDrvDqlJ63cbgLV9hMG0mz-bZjNAJU7xC9bTF1xivx5BU2Bb1JcoFSdQ3m7oNefpFP0pYP5It8pRC8zwJOUUIpI4QDn20cTvph1HWtwhlbWjp10LrqdGIl8ws/s320/IMG_4275.JPG" /> <p align="justify">Many people when reaching the car park, are surprised with the uniquely simple design of the restaurant. It's an opened concept with no fancy layout, furniture and even without air conditioning. All it has is natural sea breeze as it's situated on the beach front.<br /> </p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 292px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 348px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347954409286000850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyZfjNBacFmVmDNtU8c_Zs9hL5qsqInE5cP83MuUkgjKAOkDAWKKlLRgn1z5-gRnCUQi26VZ9vk0AQrxTRVFl21JpRssBPHyuypb9IAJcYnLoJYlZETTtuTL8ZobH_zf8rPJ0JNW3EpJA/s320/IMG_4271.JPG" /><br /><div align="justify">Well, anyway, who cares about the design and layout if it serves good food. Well, the serve ONLY good food. Service? No way! Don't expect any good services except good food in this restaurant. Surprisingly, many people are willing to tolerate the type of services for the exchange of good food. One of them is me, myself.</div><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 404px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 321px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347956218120731890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTrN-MaGOX4hlpvgy6FFyhVDpIy8Evyr-kx4gw_sH2p4hiUbZP3Olj-nC_BeBX9J3zlk4hrg624t_jsR1Gldecq-JzEMR0wRynDLgyetpafGx6p1TAVoMj9zSevZrHPW8_X07r8-BfjUo/s400/IMG_4266.JPG" /> <p align="justify">The most popular dishes they serves is the <em><span style="color:#000099;">Braised Pork Trotter</span></em>. Slowly cooked for hours until all the sauce being soaked into the meat makes every bites a sensational taste. Uniquely, it is cooked with pineapple to gives a bit of extra kick in the flavouring. Best served with steamed rice.</p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347956220729612450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKa5jbkpvw6XI9P1_4SF3_NlJXZO5NKT8BmOdO6_MFjVrktvZ2GJe2Qme91fQii6rF7HqHsV2DohzliXCGHKTdpP9BDQbEFaNCCgwE11NowVb57-RnOKDhNbD4Tj8xcaETjRwsNKm0hKU/s400/IMG_4268.JPG" /> <p align="justify">If you planned to go and try their pork trotter, make sure you go with at least 4 person; else, the owner will REFUSE to serve you. Reason being you can't finish the big portion and you will waste the food. Funny isn't it? No matter how you argue, or telling them you are big eater, she just won't serve you the amount of food she thinks you cannot finish. That is why I cannot show you the pictures of more delicious food from this restaurant like their popular Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, Stir Fried Fragrance Mushroom and etc.</p><div align="justify">Well, want to try strange services with good food? Just pay a visit on the way to Papar, Beaufort or Sipitang. Last but not least, I also found their blended chilies are unique too. They added in preserved soya bean in the mixture of chilies.</div><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 234px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 193px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347957672174098818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmHGDx304LxBX2Zm9Dq6wbE6IAw7G8x6iAPn7DWyRC139YhSwX1FEc6vsEEGdIa9BaRRpCAjXAiZbNgieN8na74GDGxtfPSaQt352j6v4XXlBnRPpO64JriiEUQGmgqqUlE79mXoayjU0/s320/IMG_4253.JPG" />David Liewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797776378750387631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597138865857810848.post-33975942605934678142009-06-14T23:08:00.003+08:002009-06-14T23:30:41.084+08:00Lok Kyun Restaurant, Tuaran<div align="justify">During my outstation trip to Kota Belud, I usually stop by Tuaran town for lunch. Tuaran is the town for the popular <em><span style="color:#000099;">Tuaran Mee</span></em> (a hand made egg noodle).

However, when one visited Tuaran town, many will be introduced to Lok Kyun Restaurant. It's noodle is hand made by their own restaurant. This restaurant has been visited by Jason Yeoh (Ah Sien), the host of Astro AEC's Taste With Jason which introduce good food around Malaysia. When one visited the restaurant, one can see all the pictures taken with Jason and posters around.</div><div align="justify"> </div>David Liewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797776378750387631noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597138865857810848.post-84436796486464845142009-05-31T19:40:00.008+08:002009-05-31T21:50:42.782+08:00Kudat Yong Tau Foo, KudatMost of the Chinese population of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Sabah</span> are of Hakka dialect.

There is another well known noodle which is as good as the prior two....the <em><span style="color:#000099;">Tamparuli Fried Noodle</span></em>. All these noodles are named after the town where it was originated.<br /><br /></div><div align="justify">Tamparuli is a small town nearby Tuaran along the way to Ranau and the highest mountain in Southeast Asia, Mt. Kinabalu. There is a restaurant in the centre of a row of shophouses called Restoran Wun Chiap. This family-run restaurant, located next to Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN), is where the famous Tamparuli Noodle originated. There are many other restaurants offering Tamparuli Noodle in their menu, but none of them got close to the taste of its original creator, the Wun Chiap family. Its customers are willing to travel as far as Kota Kinabalu just to enjoy a plate of the original Tamparuli Noodle.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339801807738362770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGNzkhsKP1hqEGS7NFuR9Qk3rdi6zYNuqmCEC7mML76vHVHa1G8yyfdRImvRaCurcIrogGbftCi1cGPt-hXZ3gPtis4Q14q6y2RdfVEArvE5pLbi-Z21HcaVqQo9FDnjquKYQc_Xg07Aw/s400/IMG_4177.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div align="justify">The noodle is hand made and usually fried with BBQ pork (Char Siew), Egg Pork Roll (minced pork rolled with egg, only available in Sabah), eggs and veggies. Sometimes after enjoying a plate, people will order some extra to take-away (tapau) either for their family & friends, or for their own consumption later.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify">This shop is a must stop for myself everytime I travelled to Ranau for business. No matter where I am heading to, I will stop by to have a plate of Tamparuli Noodle at Wun Chiap. Its a practice since my family brought me there more than 20 years ago. </div><br /><br /><div align="justify">Have a try and I believe you will never forget the taste!

Firewood cooking usually taste very nice due to the extra flavour from the burning of the firewood (should be). It can be in soup form or dry (gon lou) from the choice between rice noodle (mee hoon), egg noodle (mee) or rice stick (koew teow). The ingredients consist of pork products like the meat, intestine, liver, kidney, tendon and pork ball.

The soup should be tasty from the pork, not the MSG. Next, we judge the texture of the dry noodle (kon lou). The noodle should not be very sticky and too soft. The sauce they use for the noodle should be able to blend well with the taste of the soup. Next the ingredient used.<br /><br />Kedai Kopi Melainan is popular in its dry rice noodle. It is well done by not getting noodle sticking together.

The dark blue coloured packaging also attracted me. I picked it up and saw a new type of orange juice with a premium price; and I decided to give it a final try.</div><div></div><br /><div>Supprisingly, I can say that the taste is the closest to the freshly sqeezed orange juices I had in Italy. So natural with its natural taste of its pulps. Not only the taste, the color also very close. Now, one pack can only last me for maximum 2 days; mostly 1.5 days.</div><div></div><br /><div>However, there are 2 drawbacks. Firstly, it has a premium pricing and secondly, the stock is very limited. Not many supermarkets are keeping it and even they do, they only keep minimum stock. Thus, very often I cannot get one when I need it.</div><div></div><br /><div>So go and give it a try and let me know how you like the taste! </div><div> </div><div> </div>David Liewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797776378750387631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597138865857810848.post-45454497598932855852009-05-09T21:32:00.010+08:002009-05-15T01:32:03.534+08:00Restaurant Yu Hing, Kota Kinabalu<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVR1xds-KptlCQyAbAGXEeMObnPeze-DEW_eIDn3KDYqj0N2D0bJsg0IxdM1JeuWi19NWGJ0uaF6tDSNqCpV0t44Sl2l2zgf5Ltnwx8PDWxO2YlXAwCefSLy5QdzOmDEiqEERXCQ1aD3I/s1600-h/IMG_3951.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333825122901057746" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVR1xds-KptlCQyAbAGXEeMObnPeze-DEW_eIDn3KDYqj0N2D0bJsg0IxdM1JeuWi19NWGJ0uaF6tDSNqCpV0t44Sl2l2zgf5Ltnwx8PDWxO2YlXAwCefSLy5QdzOmDEiqEERXCQ1aD3I/s320/IMG_3951.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>If you love seafood and noodle, you should try Yu Hing's <em><span style="color:#000099;">Seafood Fried Noodle</span></em>.

On Thursday, 7 May 2009, while covering Sipitang and Beaufort, I stopped by the well known Foh Chuan in Beaufort for my lunch.<br /><br />I believe many of us heard of many Foh Chuan in Kota Kinabalu. The are situated just below the Beaufort Hakka Association behind the primary school.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDhKmwgzPFv0TWE2qUnIW8Rv8osk3Fk3LH7EHfBcZ5CK-j99JKN_mxPnPl4xb13P5DfB11L36zNW8yTL5189uRn5JI_k2ftX8oKvuslggmPP0EK7Y5c3F0GL-ZtcWYQleFD75572C7dqo/s1600-h/IMG_3936.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333822431178248370" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDhKmwgzPFv0TWE2qUnIW8Rv8osk3Fk3LH7EHfBcZ5CK-j99JKN_mxPnPl4xb13P5DfB11L36zNW8yTL5189uRn5JI_k2ftX8oKvuslggmPP0EK7Y5c3F0GL-ZtcWYQleFD75572C7dqo/s320/IMG_3936.JPG" border="0" /></a> They serve the most popular <em><span style="color:#000099;">Beaufort Fried Noodle</span></em>. However, my appetite today is to have rice which they are popular in various simple but delicious dishes as well. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div align="justify">The first I ordered was the <span style="color:#000099;"><em>fried "choy sum" with pork</em></span>. This is a very popular dish not only in Beaufort Foh Chuan, but the one in Kota Kinabalu as well. It looks simple home dishes but the taste is something different.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /> </div><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-XZWiJ_0Xd9ZTnJ_BPSTNJxNYOTzZUDfBhHs5dqb0BhKvi1kV6rWrzYqsHUbxMnPrbQlJqTJ85IhtnO84WM5B3DdcblpEvGaRJ1bJglM1t_Rke3E0oRA_YxSuWLLQBhS1iTmSwUpurk/s1600-h/IMG_3940.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336403236716299714" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 272px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-XZWiJ_0Xd9ZTnJ_BPSTNJxNYOTzZUDfBhHs5dqb0BhKvi1kV6rWrzYqsHUbxMnPrbQlJqTJ85IhtnO84WM5B3DdcblpEvGaRJ1bJglM1t_Rke3E0oRA_YxSuWLLQBhS1iTmSwUpurk/s320/IMG_3940.JPG" border="0" /></a>The next is <em><span style="color:#000099;">friend egg with "char siew"</span></em>. By its look, I believe not many people can fry into its texture. All the "char siew" is covered inside the egg. The edge is crispy when you eat it hot. Both are simple dishes, but the taste is a bit different from home cooked; and make them one of the most popular dishes in Beaufort.</div><div><br /></div><div></div><div align="justify">For a good simple lucnch in Beaufort, Foh Chuan is a good choice to consider.</div><div><br /></div><div align="justify">However, due to the busy crowd, the place is not very tidy. Sometime you can find tissue paper on the floor. I don't mind as long as I can get a good affordable lunch.</div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>My next trip to Beaufort I will order the most popular Beaufort Fried Noodle and let you all see the picture.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div></div>David Liewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797776378750387631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597138865857810848.post-48579795364730455322009-05-08T19:42:00.008+08:002009-05-09T22:16:27.444+08:00LKK Black Bean Garlic Sauce Not on Shelves<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw58WfYqbfGrZUp-WA0AuFxoNvFVDoM14xfRimkuGF6cN5Nb_XJ_ojwaUfA-JlbR144SMkdPO_zx7-5CtdpWUaRKPebtX1zDEyJV3FASp8S0uDDsQ6BXsV2vnfaZCU-fKDINQNHNEOoWo/s1600-h/LKK+Black+Bean+Garlic.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333825925797561762" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 105px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw58WfYqbfGrZUp-WA0AuFxoNvFVDoM14xfRimkuGF6cN5Nb_XJ_ojwaUfA-JlbR144SMkdPO_zx7-5CtdpWUaRKPebtX1zDEyJV3FASp8S0uDDsQ6BXsV2vnfaZCU-fKDINQNHNEOoWo/s320/LKK+Black+Bean+Garlic.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><div>Lee Kum Kee's Black Bean Garlic Sauce is one of my favourite "One Step Recipe Sauce". Great in taste and easy to prepare. When properly use (mean using the right amount and timing), you can create delicious Steamed Black Bean Spare Ribs or just add a little into wok fried bitter gourd. </div><div> </div><div></div><div>However, I am not able to find one on the shelves of supermarkets and hypermarkets for the past 2 years.
