Enjoyable Food

Lobster is available in Sandakan, however, most of the lobsters here have been pre-book by the exporters as well as the bigger restaurants in town due to higher profitability.

Typically, lobsters in Sandakan is priced around RM 100/kg (USD 25/kg), it’s quite costly to the local.

Lobster can be enjoyed “fresh” (sashimi) or cooked. The meat is sweat, chewy, tougher than ordinary prawn.

In Sandakan, there are only a couple of high class restaurant serving Lobster, namely Ocean King, Pasir Putih Restaurant, Ang Ban Guan and a few others.

My favourite Lobster dish is to cook Lobsters with Rich cheese cream source prepared by Ang Ban Guan (as seen in Photo). However, I found that the restaurant’s cooking standard has degraded significantly due to unknown reason.

Just hope I can enjoy this dish again with better quality!

Only available in Sandakan, the UFO Tart (also known as the cow dung tart) is origin from Sandakan. The tart is made of a base cake with egg white and egg york toppings.

 If u look at the photo, you will know why it’s call UFO Tart or it’s not so nice nickname. Anyway, due to the complicated making procedure, less and less bakery is willing to spend time on this article, only a couple of restaurant still serve this tart.

 Since it’s unique, give it a try when you are in Sandakan.
