I grew up in Tuaran until 16 and moved down to KK. Growing in Tuaran in the 80s - 90s gave me the best childhood experience that i can ever had. Now after 8 years of leaving Tuaran I decided to gather all the great food in hope to promote it to everyone.

After two months of driving back and forth from KK to Tuaran just to get all the food and shop pictures taken for my Tuaran Food Guide, it is finally done! I lost count of how many times i went to Tuaran but this is for you food hunter out there to try all the best food that Tuaran has to offer.

A  complete map with all the restaurants' location can be found at the end of the post so embrace yourself for all the tasty food!

1. Beef Tuaran Mee ??????? (RM6.50)

It was in 2010 when Ahbing.com first posted up his ultimate guide on KK food and one of his favorite dishes is Tuaran Mee. Tuaran mee is only available in Sabah and it can be found in KK but it is best to come Tuaran and try out the authentic ways of cooking Tuaran mee. I like Tuaran mee served with Beef but if you don't favor beef you can always try other toppings such as char siew, and chicken.

2. Sweet and Sour Pork Rice ???? (RM6.50)

Sweet and sour pork is available throughout Sabah but Tuaran's sweet and sour taste juicier and springier.

3. Beef Mee Hoon ? ?????(RM6.50)

Beef mee hoon may not be as famous as Tuaran mee but it is equally good as Tuaran Mee. The taste of the beef sauce on top of the fried mee hoon is really tasty. 

Restoran Tai Fatt

Location: Same row as Maybank
Opening Hour: 7am - 6pm



They serve one of the best Tuaran Mee in town.

4. Onion Beef Rice ????? (RM6.50)

Another beef delicacy. Up to now i start to realize most of the good food in Tuaran contain beef. Stir frying onion, ginger, and beef with pepper sauce.

5. Stuffed Toufu ??? (RM1.00)

 

Lok Kyun Restaurant

Location: In front of Tuaran Public Library

Opening Hour : Morning - Afternoon

They also serve Tuaran Mee!

6. Chicken Pau ??? (RM1.70)

Soft and steamy hot bun is one of the best food you should try in Tuaran. They make their own pau every morning and afternoon. Alternatively you can also try char siew pau or tou sa pau (red bean pau). I always had my breakfast here before i go to school when i was in primary. 

Kedai Kopi Fook Sin

Location: Opposite Tuaran dry market. 

They only make two batches of pau. One in the early morning and another in the afternoon. 

Best go before 10am or after 3pm.

7. Rojak Ayam (RM4.00) 

You got yellow noodle, egg, bean spout,  chicken slices, peanut sauce as dressing. Squeeze it with lime you will get a complex mixture of taste.

8. Beef Soto Mee Hoon (RM4.00)

This is one of the best soto i have ever tried before in my life! and i mean it. I remember when i was sick and i had no appetite for any food but miraculously except for this food. I guess the main reason is because of the added lime in it making it really appetizing.

 Do taste the original taste of the soup before adding the lime.  I always like to smash up the egg yolk and add a bit of chili and lime to give it a spicy and sour taste. Mee hoon would be my recommendation to try first.

Kedai Kopi Yung Siong

Location: Opposite UOB bank or near Tuaran Clock tower.
Opening hour: Morning - Afternoon

9. Char Siew Tuaran Mee ??????? (RM4.50)

Tuaran Mee chau siew at above market restaurant is less oilier. This is my mum's favorite place because less oilier. Wong's families have a history of making Tuaran Mee way back in the 60s. Now they are supplying Tuaran Mee to restaurants around Sabah which is known as Wong's Tuaran Mee.

10. Jelly Grass with Milk ???? (RM2.00)

Jelly Grass with milk was my childhood favorite drink. The lady still recognized me after all these years and when i couldn't recall the name of the drink, she knows what i want because the moment i said " i want to drink..errr.. " ????!!! shouted the lady. She truly made my day. Best of all she can even recall who am i! Why? because of my small eyes =.=
