KK Food Reviews

After a long night of partying and clubbing, where do you usually go for supper?

To me, I would usually drag the BF and friends (if I could, that is) to the famous prawn mee soup in Foh Sang! And judging by the crowd that comes to this coffeeshop (called Kedai Kopi Emas Helang) every late night, about half (if not most) of them have just finished clubbing, too! A few of them have told me that this prawn mee (or ha mien in Chinese) is a great remedy to clear the dizziness (or drunkness) from all the alcohol consumed before! And you know what? I agree with that 100%! Hehe..

The coffeeshop:

The quality of my cameraphone’s not so good at night

This prawn mee looks very plain, but trust me, it’s VERY delicious!

If you do not like the prawn mee (though I do not see why you shouldn’t), you can opt to order the fried kway teow instead. It’s quite delicious as well

So the next time you want to have something to drink or eat to clear the head after a long night of clubbing or partying, head on over to Kedai Kopi Emas Helang and order their ha mien!

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!

I have already blogged about Kheng Hin, but the last time I was there, I had porridge. Still love the porridge, by the way. The portion given is a LOT! But here’s an update on the price of the Seafood Porridge; it is actually RM7.50 (!), and not RM6.50 as stated. BF said the extra RM1 is actually because of the century egg.

Anyway, went there again last night, but this time, we had the kon lo mee. Was told that this place is famous for this, and young and old would always come here to eat this.

This kon lo mee is mixed with char siew and sau nyuk meat, but they tasted just like any other char siew and sau nyuk meat out there. But the mee is quite delicious. It’s cooked just right, and it tasted fresh and springy.

Price: RM4.50.

Oh, and by the way, this kon lo mee goes well with a small bowl of seafood porridge on the side!

You can also order western food here at Kheng Hin as well..

Guess what I ordered..

None other than my favourite food, chicken wings, of course!

The chicken tasted sweet, surprisingly. BF and I couldn’t find the right word to explain it, but in the end, I think that it tasted just like a kueh! Must be the flour..

My next mission of this place is to try the dim sum next door of Kheng Hin, where it claimed to be the cheapest in town, at only RM2.50 per plate/serving!

Had porridge for dinner tonight with BF at Kheng Hin in Foh Sang. Was told that the porridge here is very famous; it’s super delicious!

Here are the price list for the porridges. They are all pretty reasonable, from RM4 to RM6.50.

Here’s what the inside of the shoplot look like. Check out the flat screen tv! They’re especially for advertisements, including an ad for this coffeeshop! Pretty cool!

Okay, here’s BF’s food: Pork Porridge.

Price: RM5.50.

BF said the porridge tasted just right. The scallion, fried shallots, century egg, and the main ingredient, pork, blended PERFECTLY with the porridge. Also, he was given a generous amount of the century egg, too, which BF loved!

Tip: Mix a little sesame oil and soy sauce into the porridge and it’s perfect! (Same goes to my porridge too!)

Here’s my food: Seafood Porridge.

Price: RM6.50.

Don’t let the price put you off; it’s worth every cent! Inside my porridge, there are seaweed, fried shallots, scallions, some fish slice, 2 prawns, and some crab meat.

On the picture below, can you see the fish, prawn and crab? They all tasted sweet! All these, plus the blend of the ingredients above, with some mixture of sesame oil and soy sauce, it was VERY worth the price!

The first thought that came into our mind was how huge each of our bowl is! Other people would order just one bowl, and share it with their partner, and they must think that we are really big eaters to have a bowl each!

But, luckily the porridge tasted so delicious that I managed to finish mine!

This has got to be my favourite porridge eatery so far! So if you guys haven’t tried it, you definitely should!

Check out my review on a yummy Kueh Chap at Kedai Kopi Coconut Town, located in Foh Sang. Good food as well as breezy location, even when you’re there on a hot afternoon!
