Hot and Spicy Noodle Soup For Breakfast | Kota Kinabalu | Sabah | Malaysia

Small open restaurants are where all locals get their fix for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper and everything in between. Believe it or not, this is for breakfast, yup, we like our breakfast heavy and full of flavors. Usually, each restaurant will have multiple food stand that sell different food items, this stand specialize in Fish.

A menu tape to the window showing the fish parts they are offering. Note that I said fish parts, not seafood. Yes, everything on the menu are different part of fish. From fish head, fish lip to fish tummy and fish bladder.

Here, most restaurant rent out spaces for individual vendor, as a result, each restaurant will have at least 3-5 businesses running at the same time serving different type of food. This is actually another food stand in the same restaurant specialized in other kind of noodles dishes. I just now realized how much we love noodles.

This kitchen might look like nothing much, but it can put out bowls and bowls of noodle soup all day, the owner of the vendor can usually make enough to support the whole family. Their specialty are food parts in two main popular local flavor: The laksa and the tomyam. Both hot and spicy, one heavier and creamier than the other.

All the ingredients you need to make a good bowl of fish noodle soup.

The two main favorite items, fish cake and fish head. I hope you can tell them apart …

I went for the laksa noodle soup, a local favorite, it’s hot, spicy, creamy, and aromatic, it gave me a good sweat after all is said and done, felt surprisingly good actually, even in the 90-ish degree hot day.
