Dian Dian Chakitiam 點點 茶几店 — Restaurant in Borneo

This café is a hidden gem in Kota Kinabalu! The ambiance is bright and welcoming, with a clean, modern design that still feels homey. There’s indoor seating with plenty of natural light, and the greenery outside gives it a cozy touch.

We ordered the roasted duck noodles and roasted pork belly noodles — both were excellent! The noodles were springy and coated with just the right amount of flavorful sauce, while the duck had crispy skin and juicy meat. The pork belly was perfectly roasted with a satisfying crunch on the skin.

For snacks, the sesame balls were fresh and had a nice chewy texture, and the polo bun was soft with a buttery topping that paired well with the iced coffee. Speaking of drinks, their iced coffee is smooth, refreshing, and not too sweet, which I loved.

The menu offers a nice selection of noodles, snacks, and drinks, with prices ranging from RM6 for small bites to RM25 for premium noodle dishes — fair for the quality and portion size.

Parking is convenient right outside, and the service is friendly and efficient. Overall, this is the perfect place for a hearty breakfast or lunch in KK....

I visited this restaurant due to its association with the high-end 12 Dining upstairs. My expectations were elevated, but I left somewhat underwhelmed. The café had an ordinary air, and the food, while decent, was far from exceptional.

The duck dish lacked crispy skin, although the meat itself was tender. The Cantonese noodles, thin and springy, maintained an authentic texture.

The fish and paste noodle soup fell into the realm of 'just okay.' About half of the fish slices seemed to lack the desired freshness, akin to being sourced from frozen stock, with a less than firm texture.

The egg tart, while presented with a crispy outer layer, fell short in terms of flavor. The egg filling lacked the rich aroma and depth of taste that one would hope for in this classic dessert.

On a more positive note, the restaurant's atmosphere impressed me. Every detail, from the decor to the utensils, had been meticulously considered, creating a cohesive and inviting environment. The choice of music also contributed to the...

Exquisite interior and exterior designs, but lost it at customer service. Food was delayed due to probably being left out. Firstly we notified the waitress, and she told us she would bring us our noodle once it’s ready but did not go on and check. I realised next to our table came late but food was served earlier. Then we notified another waitress regarding our food. Only she went on to check, and i think my noodle was left on kitchen top for quite sometime? Shortly it was sent over to me after 30 mins wait. We ordered egg tart takeaway, the first waitress told us would send our takeaway over after 30 mins since the eggtarts were in the oven. Same thing here, we saw that the egg tarts were refilled but none checked our takeaway and we had to remind again. Overall experience was not great as the service was quite unpleasant. Hope the business owner really train up your floor staffs as it will be a mess and food alone will not complement your business but together with great service to make your...
