Lobster
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!
