This is a must try dish in Kota Kinabalu, most Sabahan love their food hot and freshly prepared. Kon lou Mee (or Wantan Mee by West Malaysian) is actually homemade noodles cooked and served with either roasted pork, char siew (sweeten grilled pork), mince pork, pork sausages, roasted chicken and etc. It also came with hot soup. I think the meal best ate with Nescafe Ice (which is my favourite). My family normally came to a Kopitiam at Bornion Corner Shoplots in Luyang area. It's the row of shop opposite Damai Luyang. The shop is always full unless if you come early. What most people do is scan the whole coffeeshop and if they saw anyone has just finished their meal, like a vulture, they would make a beeline to the table and stand there anxiously waiting for the customer to pay and leave. Sabahan are nice folks, they won't let you wait too long. The table will be quickly clear away to welcome the next customer. Did I mention it's hard to get a parking lot here too? Well, I don't think that would deter any food lover to miss their weekly konlou meal ritual here. The price is around RM4.50 per dish. With great meal, what else can bring family together except of course when the bills come.
