Keow Teow Goreng @ Borneo Treasure Restaurant - Marketplace 88

Another first for us, here at Borneo Treasure Restaurant and it's fair to say we definitely will be returning! Strangely enough we both ordered Keow Teow Goreng tonight, mine with salted bean and chilli with seafood. Salted bean it turns out is in fact black bean and very tasty it was too, though for me possibly a bit more chilli was needed! Fish and prawns were fried along with peppers and onions then doused on top of keow teow noodles.
 

The Little Nibbler ordered chicken and egg with the noodles, this turned out to be wantan ho, one of my favourite dishes with lovely eggy gravy. It's worth noting that both dishes were quite large with plentiful ingredients. Pretty tasty too!

 

Borneo Treasure Restaurant is located at Marketplace 88.

 

The Bill: 2x Keow Teow Goreng, 1x Teh C Ping, 1x Kopi C Ping = 19.40 MYR

There's treasure to be had @ Borneo Treasure Restaurant!

Wan Ton Ho @ Restoran Hui Chow - Taman Fortuna

There always seems to be a crowd outside Restoran Hui Chow, so today I thought I'd join them! There's nasi campur available, but pork in its various forms, with noodles seems to be the peoples choice. After yesterdays pork extravaganza I thought I'd give it a miss, well this isn't entirely true as I asked after their 5 spiced wild boar only to be told 'sudah habis' so I decided upon seafood wan ton ho. At first glance I thought the dish seemed a bit watery but with my first mouthful all doubts had vanished. Keow teow noodles stir fried then doused with savoury egg gravy, chunks of fresh fish, prawns and green veggie, I do love a good wan tan ho!

Restoran Hui Chow is located in Taman Fortuna along Jalan Penampang, just look out for the crowds.

The Bill : 1x Wan Ton Ho, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 9 MYR

I'll be back for that wild boar for sure!

Wan Tan Ho @ Alu Alu Cafe - Jesselton Point

It must have been last week that I noticed the sign outside of Alu Alu Cafe boasting 'Best Wan Tan Ho in KK'. Now I've not eaten every Wan Tan Ho in KK, nowhere near, but I'd definitely like to eat the best! We were advised to share one dish, which was good advice as it was a fairly large portion. The dish comprised of stir fried rice noodles in an egg sauce with fresh fish slices and vegetables. Taste wise it was very good, the noodles had that savoury, hot wok taste and the large fish slices were nice and meaty. The big question though, was it the best? Well, I'm not sure about that, but what I can tell you is that ethically it probably is! All the fish served at Alu Alu Cafe is from sustainable farmed sources, and not plucked from the depleting fish reserves of our seas!
 

One of the information boards that adorn the walls of Alu Alu Cafe. Interesting reading and very alarming. There's also information regarding where the fish that you're eating inside the cafe originates - all from sustainable farmed organic sources, namely a fish farm in Tuaran.

Alu Alu Cafe is not only at the 5star resorts, you can now also find it at Jesselton Point.

 

The Bill : 1x Wan Tan Ho, 2x Chinese Teh Ping = 14 MYR

Plenty of tasty fish dishes that are not damaging our fragile seas!

Noodles @ Restaurant Beaufort - Jalan Penampang

Craving noodles tonight we decided to go to one of our favourite places, Restaurant Beaufort. We've only ever eaten noodles here and the quality has always been superb, though we shall expand on our range of dishes as I'm very happy to announce that Restaurant Beaufort has introduced an English menu!
The Little Nibbler ordered dry style Beaufort noodles with seafood. They got the thumbs up all round and had that wonderful smoky taste that only a really hot wok will provide.

I opted for wantan ho with seafood, a generous portion of fish slice, prawn and squid with green veg and flat noodles in a delicious egg gravy. I love this dish!

Restaurant Beaufort is located on Jalan Penampang heading towards Lido, it's bright and yellow and hard to miss!

The Bill : 1x Beaufort Noodle, 1x Wantan Ho, 1x Kopi C Ping, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 20.70 MYR

With their new English menu it won't be long till my next blog @ Restaurant Beaufort!

Wantan Ho @ Manja Cafe - KK Times Square

Wantan Ho is another favourite of mine! When it's cooked well it's simply delicious. Unfortunately though at Manja Cafe it's a little lacking. Ingredients wise it's generous with lots of fresh vegetables including carrot, onion, broccoli, choy sum and chilli. I ordered ayam and there was plenty of chicken too, the problem lies in the taste it's just not got that savoury smoky flavour that you get from a searing hot wok. Don't get me wrong it tasted ok but with such great ingredients it could have tasted better!

The Little Nibbler opted for a new dish that neither of us had tried before, Mee Bandung. Again ingredients were fresh and plentiful, very fresh in one case as a raw egg was added on top. Noodles come in a rich spicy tomato sauce along with veggies, chilli slices and chicken. You can taste the egg come through in the sauce which is a great touch, very tasty indeed.

Manja Cafe is located next door to Manja Hotel in KK Times Square. Free Wi-Fi is available.

The Bill : 1x Wantan Ho, 1x Mee Bandung, 2x Teh Tarik Ping = 21 MYR


KK Times Square is filling up at last, with quite a few eating and drinking establishments to choose from. Manja Cafe is bright, clean and uses fresh ingredients. With a large menu there's plenty of choice as well as a nasi campur counter.
