📍Thong Bowl, Imago (G floor)
If u walk out from Starbucks, turn left and go straight till the end. U will see it on ur right, next to Chagee.

Gigantic! Everything here is hugeeeee! And u know that? This is officially the biggest beef noodle bowl and biggest Thai milk tea in Malaysia, recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records uinahhh! 🇲🇾🔥

It was already quite crowded during our visit, luckily we went early for dinner so managed to avoid the queue 🥳 The menu looked so tempting, we took quite some time to decide what to eat.

Five of us shared one Super Australian Beef Bowl (recommended for 3–4 pax) and add on one Sliced Australian Beef Noodle. Totally in love with the melt-in-ur-mouth kind of beef slices! Tender, juicy, and really good quality meat. I’m sure the Wagyu one will be even more syok. The Thai noodles also nice, springy texture.

The soup broth quite unique, a bit on the sweet side with enough beef flavour. Personally, I think it will taste even better with some Thai basil 😜

If u r going there in a group, must try their Mega Classic Thai Milk Tea. Sweetness just nice, and I love the three types of boba inside - super chewy!

They also have snacks like grilled beef balls and Thai fish cakes. Syok syok makan while waiting for ur main bowl.

I’m still waiting to try their mango sticky rice bingsu, but it wasn’t ready during our visit. Gonna go back again for that!

Operation hours: 10am to 10pm daily (last call 9:15pm)

My dad told me :”咖喱就是要配黄面。”（Curry must go with yellow noodles. I usually go with meehun but I decided to take advice from my dad. Oh yeah! Nice! The lightly alkaline taste goes so well with the curry, he’s a wise man 😋

📍Mu Zi Li Restaurant, Grand Millenium Plaza

This bowl of curry mee with roasted duck and char sau, RM15, add on siham RM3. Char siu a bit tough for my liking, lean. Duck not bad. Curry with nice aroma, full of flavour but not thick.

Operation hours: 6:30am to 5pm daily

Recommend ur favourite curry mee spot, foodies?

📍 Restoran Tamu - a kinda new restaurant at Taman Mesra, Kepayan (near to KKHS)

Experience the true taste of Sabah here! I finally know where to find good tilapia cooking.

Brought my parents here, and my mum gave high marks for their signature crispy roasted chicken - she’s never had anything like it. Crunchy skin, not oily at all, and the marination is really unique.

As for me, I highly recommend their tilapia egg drop soup with bitter gourd. The Shao Xing flavour really ooomph! I also loved their Sandakan mui hiong salted fish - lightly crispy on the outside and full of flavour. Must add on!

The coconut and air tebu drink combo is an interesting and refreshing mix. Perfect for our weather.

Can’t wait to come back and try their traditional rice set next!

Opening hours: 12pm – 9pm daily

📍杭州小吃 Central Plaza Kepayan

Forgot which floor already but it’s not hard to find. Surprised to see China Chinese noodle shop here.

I think their grilled pork buns 生煎包 were quite nice. Nicely grilled with a crunchy base. Dumplings ok with u like chives, full of chives.

The noodles had a nice handmade texture, and the broth tasted like something home-cooked — not too salty, just comforting. If u prefer stronger flavours like me, u might find it a bit on the mild side (I like my sour veg soup more sour).

They even have deep-fried pork lard at the sauce counter, u can help urself! But it’s a bit oily if u add too much. Not crispy anymore, but still flavourful.

Forgot to ask for their operation time. But I went there during lunch time.

📍Seven’s, Central Plaza Kepayan (the colourful buildings near to KKHS)

I haven’t been to this place for quite sometimes. So many eateries inside! Passed by this bakery and attracted by their roti. Great selections! 3 pcs mix and match for RM10.

I tried. Buns are soft and nice. I like the curry bun. Worth trying! And I will surely return again.

Operation hours: 10am to 5pm daily

.andshake has now opened a new branch at Elemen Utara, Menggatal! 🥳

My first time in this area. The building is so beautiful and artistic. The whole area is buzzing with F&B outlets and family activities. The big playground instantly caught my eye, and there’s even a rock climbing area. Grill & Shake is located just right above the playground, take the escalator one floor up and u will see it.

Love the ambience here - super spacious, wooden setup that feels so classy yet cozy. Inside, there’s even a kids’ corner (I’d say can fit 20 kids easily!) and the whole restaurant can probably seat around 80 pax. Perfect for family gatherings or weekend chill sessions. If u wanna have girls hang out but too lazy to layan your kids, nah, put them at the kids’ corner ja.

Food-wise, my favourite is the chicken parmigiana with super stretchy mozzarella cheese. So satisfying! Mum enjoyed the nasi lemak with nyonya chicken, while dad (as usual) went for the lamb chop — though I personally wish the cut was a bit thicker. The pumpkin soup came with crispy garlic toast - yum! My bf couldn’t decide between the big breakfast and tuna croissant, ended up loving both. The kid gave thumbs up to the carbonara, especially for that nicely marinated grilled chicken with a good charred aroma.

Both milkshakes are really good and pretty, especially the strawberry one. The orange juice and ribena would be even better with less ice.

Good variety of food, all in good portion and affordable price. Plus beautiful set up. Overall experience: Berbaloi la!

And oh ya, aircon is super cold! 🤭
