Sotong Kangkung @ Capital Sotong

Posted by JACQ | Filed under Uncategorized


I’m not sure how many of you remember a ’sotong’ stall back then (where Cathay Cineplex is now).

Back then, there was a Chinese guy who have been selling his famous sotong kangkung at the parking lot at this old, raggedy so-called stall.

But don’t look down on that guy or the stall! People from all over Sabah have been buying from him for years! It doesn’t matter whether they are rich people, or just normal everyday people like me, they were always willing to wait in line to buy this sotong kangkung no matter how hot the sun.

But since Cathay Cineplex have come up, I have asked so many people where have this guy gone to and continue with his business, and sadly, nobody seems to know. Until now.

Which is why I was surprised to see this banner that says ‘Capital Sotong’ in Foh Sang. So curiously, I went to see what they sell.

It’s the same dish that the guy used to sell back then! Not sure whether it’s from the same guy or not (maybe somebody just want to make their dish famous by name their stall that), but it’s the same dish, and it even tasted the same!

I guess this dish will do for now. No need for me to look around anymore for the famous sotong kangkung!

    papajoneh, I’m still crossing my fingers that I’d meet him again one day selling his sotong kangkung..

    Shemah, LOL.. what a coincidence huh! Yup, enjoy the sotong kangkung! ;)

    Anonymous, the shop is located on the shop row where the back of the shop faces the drain and the main road. Shouldn’t be hard to find; it’s on the corner lot. :)
