Sabah : Gunung Alab Resort
We made an overnight trip to my father’s hometown in Tambunan when we were in Sabah last month.
One of the highlight on this drive for me is taking a break at one of the simple cafe on the highest point on this Kota Kinabalu-Tambunan road.
I was told that Gunung Emas, the first and oldest cafe which has been operating on this area for more than 15 years (I believe) is still popular - although I think they no longer serve “exotic” dishes like they used to in their early days.
But some folks prefer the relatively newer (about 10 years old I think) Gunung Alab Resort, which is a few km drive from Gunung Emas Cafe, as it is somewhat better in terms of cleanliness.
We made a lunch stop here on our way to and from Tambunan and I am happy to say that I found one dish I enjoyed here.
SOTO!
I tried both their Soto Ayam (Chicken noodle soup - Malay style) and Soto Daging (Beef noodle soup) and I liked them both. With big portion and plenty of meat - at only RM4, it’s definitely worth the try if you are around this area.
