Eating Out in Sandakan, Sabah
One of the best family vacation ideas when traveling
in Sabah is eating out in Sandakan, located on the east coast of Sabah. Sandakan
was the former capital when Sabah was known as British North Borneo. Touted as
the "Gateway to Borneo’s Wildlife", Sandakan
is famous for its eco-tourism family-friendly vacation destinations such as the Sepilok Orang Utan
Rehabilitation Centre, Turtle Islands National Park, Kinabatangan
River and Gomantong Cave.
Whether its Chinese, Malay, Indian or Western, there are
an enormous variety of cuisines in Sandakan. All around town are traditional
coffee shops offering local favorites in unpretentious surroundings. Noodles and
chicken rice tend to dominate the menus.
But as far as food is concern, if you didn't savor the seafood, you
haven't been to Sandakan. Sandakan has some of the freshest seafood in Sabah.
And the prices are relatively cheaper than in Kota Kinabalu, the State's
capital.
One of the most popular seafood restaurants is
Ocean King, about 10 minutes from the town central. It is located besides
the ocean/sea, hence, the name for the restaurant.
Another great place with great view is a restaurant called Sandakan Garden
Restaurant, up on a hilltop along Signal Hill road nearby town. Its
specialty is steamboat 'do-it-yourself' cuisine. If you prefer barbeque, they
also have an area for that. Great for a fun eating-out gathering with family
and/or friends.
Both restaurants are excellent for dining out at night and a must for seafood
lovers, and a relaxing and sumptuous family vacation.
