Do remember the name Ngiu Chap<\/strong>, if you want to have “a taste of Sabah”. Literally Ngiu Chap<\/em> means “Mixed Beef” (\u725b\u6742 in Chinese), which is a mix of beef slices, tendon, tripe, meat ball, liver and tongue cooked in yummy beef broth. Usually we eat it with Mee<\/em> (yellow noodle) or Mee Hoon<\/em> (rice noodle).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many Sabah restaurants serving Ngiu Chap. Personally I recommend Kedai Kopi Loi Hin (\u6765\u5174\u8336\u5ba4 in Chinese) in Donggongon town, about 10 KM away from Kota Kinabalu city (KK). Loi Hin has been making one of the best Ngiu Chap in Sabah for over 40 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, it’s delicious, with tangy aroma of beef, and the meat is fresh. The spleen tastes a bit raw and fishy though. The hot soup is the best part, it’s thick, as if they cook the whole cow in soup (just kidding). Usually I take one or two spoons of soup to excite my taste buds before eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ngiu<\/a>
You also can ask them to serve Mee Fong<\/em> (white rice noodle, \u7c73\u7c89 in Chinese). The rice noodle is thinner and taste less oily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ngiu<\/a>
By default, the noodle is served in soup. Order Kon Lau<\/em> (dry noodle style, \u5e72\u635e in Chinese) if you prefer the Ngiu Chap soup served in separate bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
