The environment is like a food stall. There is no air conditioning, and most of them are open-air. Many tables are shared. The boss and a female comrade who takes orders can speak Chinese, but the waiter can't. Her restaurant is famous for its large number of customers. It is the most popular restaurant in town. You must go there. There will be a queue at meal time. It is recommended that you go to queue up first. But you must accept sharing a table. Although the boss's wife has a temper, I still recommend Fat Mama's because the taste is really good. If you don't like Fat Mama's personality, go find a waitress who speaks Chinese to take your order. She has a very good attitude. Fat Mama just doesn't like I like to listen to too much nonsense. If you order normally, it's still good👍🏻, Fat Mama looks like a man [grin], I really appreciate her voice, She will scare people around her with her voice [shy], When I went there on the first day, I asked Fat Mama to recommend some dishes, She recommended a few of her most classic dishes, all of which were super delicious, The average price per person is about 80 to 100 yuan, You can also process seafood, 45 Malaysian ringgit per kilogram, I don't think it's very cost-effective, We stayed in the homestay next to Fat Mama for the first three days, After ordering, the food will be delivered to the table on the first floor of the homestay👍🏻, The environment on the first floor of the homestay is very good, and there is air conditioning, which is also beautiful for taking pictures. Occasionally, we will go to the fish market to buy seafood and steam it ourselves in the homestay, free of charge You can refer to this point when staying in a homestay, which is very convenient. The seafood sold in Semporna is priced by kilogram. The prawns can be cooked with wet butter or dry butter, and the wet butter is especially recommended. The orange juice is delicious and refreshing, and it is also very cheap. The signature tofu is delicious and recommended. It has a crispy texture on the outside and the same texture as egg custard on the inside. The sea urchin steamed egg is suitable for children. Everyone says how delicious the avocado milkshake is, but I think it is just average. Overall, it is still highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻. I am writing a complete guide for traveling in Semporna, and I will post it soon.

The Yugang Seafood Restaurant near Feisha Beach has very big crab cakes, which are delicious... I have never eaten such a big crab with so many cakes... It is so delicious. There are also fried flower crabs with ginger and scallions, each weighing one pound, which are fragrant and not greasy... There are also singing fish that can call...

The store is clean and reasonably priced. It is owned by Chinese compatriots. It is worth recommending. Friends who come to Semporna should go to Nanhai Fishing Village. It is cost-effective and the taste is more suitable for southerners. You can try the butter shrimp.

At Tianwang Seafood Restaurant, we ordered: three arm-long shrimps were coated with salted egg yolk and fried; grouper was steamed to keep its freshest flavor; blue crab was lightly cooked with butter; one-ounce shrimps were sautéed with garlic sauce; blood clams were fried until they just opened and then removed from the pan... This is Sabah on the tip of the tongue, the biggest secret in the secret place. The average cost per person is less than 100 yuan, and beer is very expensive here, with a bottle of Carlsberg 33 yuan.

I ordered monkfish for my kids and lobster for myself. The chef also gave each of us a grilled goose liver. The fish was tender and the lobster was chewy. The grilled vegetables still had a crispy texture. It's a classy restaurant. This restaurant is only open after 5pm. Although I sat in front of the window, the sea view outside was already a bit dark. If I come here in summer, it must be a perfect dinner.

The most satisfying and cheapest tea restaurant in Semporna The three-color milk tea is a must-order. It has a smooth texture and distinct layers. The bottom is caramel and the overall taste is not too sweet Tea is sweet but has a strong tea flavor Indian 🇮🇳 pancakes are dipped in curry sauce and are chewier (a bit like our hand-pulled pancakes here The toast is really a surprise! It is baked crispy and has cheese slices in the middle Cantonese fried noodles 🍜 are salty but fragrant. I still slapped my face and finished it

小晴爱旅游.
I thought Maldives was beautiful enough until I went to Semporna 🚗Transportation First fly to Tawau Airport. If you are departing from China, such as Guangzhou or Shenzhen, you usually need to transfer in Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu. After arriving at Tawau Airport, you can take the airport bus (about 1 hour, about 15 Malaysian ringgit) or take a taxi (about 1 hour, 100-130 Malaysian ringgit) to Semporna Town. 🏝Travel route Day 1 Ice-breaking Night: Cheers upon landing! ▫️ Island hopping blind box social: meet by chance in the coral garden of Kapalai, and form a group to pose on the long tail beach of Mataking ——Some scenery is romantic only when you see it with the "right person" ✅ Treasure route with 100% photo output rate 📸Photo-taking magic place ❶ Glass boat floating photo Paddling a transparent boat in the shallows of Mabul Island, wearing a bright long skirt, and taking a big photo of "floating on the sea" from the perspective of a drone ❷ Sunset on the water house pier Pink and purple sky + mirror sea water in the evening, the atmosphere is directly full ❸ Swing on the sea Wearing a bikini sitting on the swing, the long legs instantly look like two meters, perfect "Internet celebrity photos" . 🥰 Food 🍤Sea view food stalls: steamed grouper, typhoon shelter crab, butter tiger prawns 🍢Jetty BBQ stall: a treasure BBQ stall that Northeastern friends all give a thumbs up to 🍛DOZO simple meals: signature butter shrimp rice, Xingzhou fried rice noodles 🍗KJMJ: spicy BBQ fried chicken, cheese potato wedges . 🏡Accommodation suggestions Water house photo yyds‼ ️Open the window to see the jelly sea, lying on the bed and waiting for the sunrise is the right way to open it. But remember to read more real reviews from guests + confirm the hot water supply and air conditioning 💡Tips 🔵Drones are prohibited in water houses! 🔵Don't rush to take a shower after deep diving, it's easy to get dizzy 🔵When buying seafood, pay attention to the vendors' methods, they will steal dead shrimps 🔵Waterproof bags should be double-layered!
