莲花楼 Lotus Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Borneo

Came here at about 7.30pm on a Tuesday night and the place was packed. We waited around for tables before realising that there is a queue system and that we had to take a number. In the end, we waited for about 20 minutes before we got a table.

There are various stalls here in this coffee shop and we ordered from most of them.

The pork satay was delicious and would I recommend trying. The meat was tender and well-seasoned. Coupled with the peanut sauce, it was a good combination.

The guo tie is slightly different from the ones that I'm used to. It is served flat and thus the skin is slighty crispy. I felt that the taste of flour is abit too strong for my liking and it's an acquired taste.

The sambal stingray came with kangkung on top of it and it definitely went well together with the sambal sauce. The fish was very fresh and cooked perfectly. Would recommend!

Barbeques chicken wings was also very delicious! It was well-seasoned and glazed perfectly. Must try!

We also ordered the beehoon and salted egg deep fried butter gourd from the menu. I must say that the salted egg deep fried butter gourd goes very well with beer 🍺

Overall, place was clean but do note that there...

Amazing food and dishes. Ikan bakar was the best i ever had. Its not like the usual ikan bakar where they put curry powder on top. Instead they put some flour to make it crispy and to top it off, they put some delicious sambal like sauce on it.It only costs RM28 for a very very and let me emphasize, VERY BIG PORTION.Amazing! The pork satay was a treat too. Very tender and not as fat and not as lean too. Recommend to order the black bean sauce noodles. All of the dishes were a splendid treat for my whole family which consists of my wife, 3 children and I.The bill was RM78 all together and we could not even finish the food 😂😂😂Everyone should go and eat there. Btw im not the owner or a friend of the owner just in case you think im promoting their restaurant. Overall...

I'm rating the foods there - chicken wings, ikan bakar & sate. Cuz that's what I come for everytime. Warning - if you're not open minded & very strict - this place is a NONONO for Muslims. This is a non halal restaurant with some food stands. The only halal foods here are the chicken wings, ikan bakar & sate, and damn they're good. Come here & judge them yourself. The ikan bakar is available for take away - if you don't want to eat here. They provide different plate for serving the ikan bakar. If they don't, try asking for it. But as for utensils you either use the restaurant's or use hand la. For non Muslim there are so much to eat here other than ikan bakar and sate - dumplings, pork satay (note there are TWO satay 'booth' here - the halal one & the pork...
