Lou Yao Kei @ Inanam Taipan

Lou Yao Kei aka the Friendly Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant. As the name suggests, it would be a great place for you and your great old buddies to gathher and pass time. No, it wasn't furnished like how the cafes are. It looks exactly like one traditional Chinese restaurant but slightly modernized. This is probably due to the big wall banner with all te food photos served in the restaurant. However, wooden stools and tables as well as chopsticks were maintained in the restaurant.

We're not locals from Kota Kinabalu, so this restaurant was actually recommended by my neighbour in Kuala Lumpur who moved there for quite some years. He placed the orders and we patiently eagerly waited for our food to come!!

When the food were served, it looks exactly the same like the one you would find in the normal Chinese restaurants. I started trying on each of the dishes and hooh-la-la, all the dishes were very tasty. It wasn't very oily nor salty but moderately seasoned in a way which satisfied my tastebuds!! Thumbs up for the "fish in claypot", you just can't stop but to add more rice so that you could enjoy more of the gravy!! As well as the fried cuttlefish covered with salted egg yolk, its soft and chewy, and what I observed was that the bottom of the plate was seen the quickest! I swear that you would love this instead of the tough ones which is so chewable like a piece of chewing gum! :p

If you like home cooked food, you would love this restaurant.
It would say it worth a try! If you're staying at Kota Kinabalu or you're going to travel there, why not give it a try and tell me what do you think about this restaurant?
