Kedai Kopi Jia Siang - Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

-
One of the highly recommended pork noodles or "sang yuk mien" by the local people in Sabah is Kedai Kopi Jia Siang. "Sang yuk mien" means raw pork noodles in Hakka but don't worry they don't serve raw pork. It's cooked perfectly. There's dry and soup version served with pork slices, pork balls, liver or other internal organs. You can choose your type of noodles - mee (egg noodles), mee hoon (vermicelli) or kueh teow (flat rice noodles). 

What I love about this shop is their pork slices. The meat is lean and it's really tender. Best eaten together with their spicy chili sauce. Their kon lou mee or dry noodles turned out to be really dark in colour as they put lots of dark soy sauce. Usually I will dilute the dark soy sauce noodles with their soup. I like it better that way. However, I can taste the slight lye water flavour in their noodles. (There's a slight bitter after taste in my mouth) In Hakka or Cantonese lye water is called "kansui".

This shop is always full of people and it's open whole day for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even supper! Bear in mind that it's quite difficult to find a parking space at Lintas Plaza during peak hours (lunch & dinner time).

We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
