Sandakan Kopitiam — Restaurant in Borneo

Authentic Sandakan flavors that truly transport you back to the heart of Sandakan. Their Sandakan spring noodle with century egg dumpling is a standout—the noodles are perfectly springy, coated in a flavorful sauce, and paired with well-textured dumplings and a generous amount of century egg.

The Domachi signature Sandakan pan mee is another highlight, featuring authentic noodles and a fragrant soup enriched with spring onions, pork lard, and fresh seafood—it’s simply delightful.

The prawn noodle is equally impressive, with a rich, prawn-based broth and fresh, succulent prawns. Every dish is packed with flavor and authenticity, making it a must-try for Sandakan...

Recommended by my wife make up artist, me and my wife came to this restaurant for the century egg water dumpling. This restaurant has manage to build a whole menu around this wonderfully side dish. The noodles are fresh and done al dente.The curry came as a nice surprised, it's a perfect spicy and saltiness complimenting the key lime that comes with it.

You should absolutely order a bowl of water dumpling ale Carte as it is the star of the meal. The dumpling are soft with firm meat within generously filled with sumptuous taste of century eggs within.

Will definitely add this place as must visit restaurant when we are visiting kota...

From the outside, we could see the lady boss carefully measuring the noodles, picking out a few strings from what is less than a handful of noodles every time, as if the few strings of noodles can take away...
