My Tea Set @ Old Town White Coffee - City Mall


Feeling thirsty and a little peckish we decided to pop into Old Town White Coffee while we were doing some shopping at City Mall. As we didn't want a full meal, their My Tea Sets seemed just the thing! My Tea Set is basically a mini version of some of their regular meals with an added drink selection, perfect! I opted for curry mee, a tasty spicy soup with green beans, fishcake slices, beancurd puff and BBQ chicken, washed down with an ice cold enrich chocolate drink. I was very impressed with the taste and quality of the food here, Old Town White Coffee is a place I rarely visit which will quite possibly change from now on!


The Little Nibbler opted for the Javanese Mee set with a cold white coffee. Again the noodles were very tasty, potato, beancurd puffs and half a boiled egg came in a spicy, sweet and sour sauce with a hint of peanut.

With quite a few branches around KK, this is City Mall's offering.
 


The Bill : 2x My Tea Set = 16.95 MYR

Old Town White Coffee impressed us so much we'll be coming back for sure!

Fish Noodle @ Kedai Kopi Sin Houng Kee - Bandaran Berjaya


When you can't park your car anywhere near a restaurant that's also pretty much full the chances are it's going to be good! With a little bit of perseverance I finally managed to park (a street or so away) and had the good fortune to bag a table at Kedai Kopi Sin Houng Kee. Fish noodle soup in all its forms is the order of the day here, so I had mine with fresh fish slice and mee hoon. The soup is fresh and light with tomatoes and tofu, slices of fresh fish are exactly that and the whole experience leaves you satisfied with a healthy glow!
 

Kedai Kopi Sin Houng Kee is located in Bandaran Berjaya, on the same street as Century Hotel.
 


The Bill : 1x Fish Slice Mee Hoon, 1x Teh C Ping = 10.50 MYR

Get a healthy kick start to the day @ Kedai Kopi Houng Kee!

Masala Dosa @ Sri Latha Curry House - Bandaran Berjaya


I do like a good Masala Dosa for breakfast, it takes me right back to my Indian adventures! I've been meaning to sample Sri Latha's dosas for some time now so this morning was the perfect opportunity. Masala dosa here are stuffed with a mildly spiced, mix vegetable filling and served with a very tasty coconut and ginger chutney, dhal and curry. It's a tasty and filling breakfast for sure!

The Bill : 1x Masala Dosa, 1x Teh Tarik Sejuk = 5.50 MYR

Kick start your day with a delicious Masala Dosa @ Sri Latha!

Kon Lau Mee @ Kedai Kopi Hui Chow - Taman Fortuna


I thought it was high time I took The Little Nibbler for Kon Lau Mee at Kedai Kopi Hui Chow to sample their deliciously sweet, special fried pork. I love the noodles here drenched in dark sauce (noodles also come soup style) served with slices of Chinese cruellers and your choice of meat or seafood toppings. The special fried pork is my top pick and definitely a must try item!


I've been meaning to try the five spice wild boar for some time now, I don't know what I was expecting but it was more 'stew like' than I imagined, perfect with rice I think. There must be a long cooking process, as the meat was very tender, I quite liked it, but not as much as I thought I would and The Nibbler wasn't so keen, I'm sure this is just personal taste though.

Kedai Kopi Hui Chow is located along Jalan Penampang at Taman Fortuna. Here's the view from the car parking area.


The Bill : 2x Kon Lau Mee, 1x Wild Boar, 1x Teh C Ping, 1x Kopi C Ping = 22 MYR

Kon Lau Mee @ Hui Chow's is a decision well made!

Italian Food @ Gusto Food & Wine - Waterfront



Bruschetta Romano
We started our lovely meal with some bruschetta. Sliced and toasted or griddled crusty bread, topped with pomodoro (Italian for tomato), garlic, basil and extra virgin olive oil. Fresh and simple but oh so tasty!

Rigatoni Gusto
 Here's my pasta pick tonight, named after the restaurant (and quite possibly the chef), rigatoni pasta served with Italian truffle sauce and mushrooms. This dish was lovely and mushroomy, sprinkled with parmesan, I just wanted to lick the plate clean!

Rigatoni Norma
The Little Nibbler went for 'Sicily's favourite', rigatoni pasta in a deep tomato sauce with aubergine and topped with a sprinkling of Italian hard cheese, again very delicious!

Tiramisu
We ended our meal with Italy's classic and timeless dessert, lovely!

Bottle of House White Wine
Gusto's has a fantastic wine list, we opted for the house white, a chardonnay which was very enjoyable and drinkable too!

Gusto Food & Wine is located along KK's Waterfront and you can find it at the very beginning or at the very end, depending on which way you look at it!

Can't recommend Gusto's enough, great tasting, fresh Italian food from a hardworking 2 man (sorry, 1 man 1 lady) team.


The Bill : 1x Bruschetta, 2x Pasta, 1x Tiramisu, 1x House Wine = 140 MYR

Come get your Italian fix @ Gusto Food & Wine!

Burger @ Tip Top Restaurant & Bar - Tip Of Borneo


While your down at The Tip another worth while eatery, amongst many other things is Tip Top Restaurant & Bar, run by Howard, Lorina and their hard working friendly team. We ate here a couple of times during our visit and everything, western and local was pretty darn tasty. If you have a sweet tooth the homemade cheesecakes are a must! Here's their homemade burger served with fries, side salad and homemade coleslaw with an option to add on cheese, yes please, and fried egg. This is a tasty, meaty burger made with imported, seasoned beef. Nice!


Lots of fresh juices to choose from, soft drinks and cold beer!
 

Tip Top Restaurant & Bar is located pretty much at the junction of the beach road that heads up to The Tip Of Borneo. It's part of the TamanDoAman Jungle Camp that offers everything from accommodation, treks, kayaking and a whole lot more, working closely with the local community, it's definitely worth a look!
