Today we were at Wanchai getting some stuff for the new flat. And since we were there, we went to try out (again....we were there years ago and the food did not entice us to return) the most well known Malaysian restaurant, Sabah. After much disappointment over the years, we almost never go for Malaysian food (other than the 蝦麵店) in HK. However, we have heard quite a few positive comments on Sabah recently from some fellow Malaysians, so here we are.
The first alarm bell - the menu has all sorts of curry including curry rogan josh.....how is that Malaysian?
The second alarm bell - when G ordered a 涼粉 drink, the lady asked if he wanted coconut milk in it. G just stared at her, totally horrified.
I guess after such a long time in HK, the menu/food had become a bit (we hope only a bit) localised. However, since we already sat down, we might as well go through with it. G ordered a fried kuey teow and I ordered Malaysian curry chicken with roti.....and......
 |
| The fried kuey teow was definitely not up to standard |
 |
| Curry chicken was not as good as the ones my helper cooked |
 |
| The roti was the only thing close to the real thing.... |
Oh well, back to our golden rule, only have Malaysian food in Malaysia!!!
