Labuan serves Malaysia as a major tourist hotspot. To add to its touristic appeal, Labuan highlights some of the best eateries in the country attracting gourmets from every corner of the world.
This place is ideal for those who love Chinese food. Located in Kota Kinabalu, the restaurant fringes the waterfront. If you pop in at the restaurant during lunch time or dinner time you can enjoy a delicious meal which may include baby kalian, butter prawns and crab sauce. The dishes are reasonably priced which could compensate for the lack of excellent customer service.
You may be celebrating your birthday or your anniversary – in that case, you need a place above standards. Flanked by Jalan Merdeka and Jalan Tun Mustapha is Restoran Ramai Ramai – an ideal place for celebrating a special occasion. Dishes here are slightly expensive – but if you are ready to spend an extra buck or two to make your special event truly special, you've come to the right place.
If you wish to enjoy authentic Malaysian dishes, drop in at Restoran Selera Fariza which is located at Lorong Bunga Tanjung. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner – most locals and foreigners visit the restaurant to enjoy its popular nasi campur and roti canai with fish curry.
If you've had enough of Chinese and Malaysian food and are looking for a change, go to Choice Restaurant for a tasty Indian meal. The place is popular among locals and foreigners for its delicious roti canai and rice accompanied by various Indian curries.
Looking for a spot to enjoy an Italian meal? Why not pop into Dorsett Grand Labuan to have a taste of pasta in Labuan. The restaurant is located only a short drive away from the airport – if you are tired of in-flight meals and want to try something different right away – on your way, you can drop in here and enjoy a flavorful meal.
The place is a known Chinese eatery located in between Jalan Bunga Melati and Jalan Bunga Raya – a restaurant where you can get your money's worth. Kedai Kopi Fah Fah is mostly visited by people for its kway teow goreng. If you want to relax in the evening while sipping on a beer, there are outdoor seating arrangements as well – which incidentally is ideal for people watching.
If you can bear the slight humidity inside – Kedai Kopu Nam Thong is where you should come to enjoy traditional Chinese culinary delights like pork ball soup, fried kway teow, chicken rice, curry mee and char siew. The restaurant tends to get crowded during lunchtime, so make your reservations a bit early.
To enjoy an ordinary Chinese meal, drop in at Restaurant Pulau Labuan. Located right in front of Muslim Madina Restaurant – the place is well known among locals for its butter prawns, sizzling tofu, asam fish and kangkung belacan.
Located close to ferry table –Restaurant Ngee Hing is where you can enjoy a meal of noodles with thick gravy or a bowl of spicy laksa. Prices are reasonable, and the restaurant is worth a visit.
The eatery is known for its European culinary delights – also, the place has earned a reputation as a vegetarian-friendly restaurant. The pleasant atmosphere inside the restaurant is made better by the excellent customer service provided by the staff.
