Papa Kopitiam 老豆香底米粉 — Restaurant in Borneo

It has been awhile since I last visited this shop. The xiang di mi fen is still very nice. And it's something you couldn't get elsewhere in KK. They opened another shop in KK previously but the quality of the food is faaaaar offff from this original shop in tawau. True enough, that shop closed down subsequently.

The place get crowded pretty quickly especially during meal time. Patronised by both locals and tourists.

One thing though, the serving time could be sliiiighty slow. Guess they prepare the dish portion by portion. So please be patient.

Cutlery and sauces are all on...

5 star for its pretty consistent xiang di vermicelli. Gravy is v tip top and meehoon fried w egg usually on point. Pork belly stir fried w spring onion and ginger was really great in flavours. Esply the shao xing wine. Porridge was pretty decent.

What's not consistent and quite annoying is their operating days. And also the availability of fish fillet.

Also v disappointing was the prawns we were offered for the meehoon, which was outrageously not fresh though many.

Century egg dumpling was...

Something unusual and you definitely won't find this type of food other than in Tawau town. Their signature dish 香低米粉 (xiang di mi fen) is really good, rice noodles inside beaten eggs with pork and gravy is just superb. Also don't forget to try another signature dish which is stir fried pig stomach. I don't really like to eat pig intestines but their cooking style kills off the strong intestines odour and it taste...
