Suang Tain Seafood Restaurant

A seafood restaurant in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, it feels a bit like an indoor food stall. After walking around the area, I felt that this one had the brightest lighting, and it seemed that the ingredients were more abundant before entering the store. [Taste] Ordinary taste that caters to the general public. The taste is also suitable for children, not very spicy or salty. [Environment] It looks quite clean. There are several large round tables with a lot of seats. There are also fresh live fish, which is great. But we didn't order the fresh fish in the tank. [Service] Ordinary. Food stall style, quite happy 😁. It's good.

On the first day in Kota Kinabalu, we went straight to Shuangtian. The boss could speak Chinese, so we asked him to help us prepare the dishes. We had butter tiger prawns, local specialty conch, crab porridge, stone fish, beef fried rice noodles, and orange ice. It was very satisfying. Very delicious!

Da Ka Lai may have a better location than Shuang Tian, ​​but I think Shuang Tian Seafood Restaurant is better in terms of service and taste. The taste is very good and the price is relatively good. We spent only 250 RMB for two adults and one child. Compared with the mass-market seafood, this one is better!

The coconut pudding and orange ice are delicious, and the seafood is just too good! Very professional, even people like me who live by the sea and often eat seafood are super satisfied٩(๑^o^๑)۶ I read some reviews saying that Shuangtian is more expensive than Da Ka Lai, can you please pay attention to the size and grade of the seafood? Are seafood of different sizes and grades comparable? To be honest, the seafood from Da Ka is good to eat in China, do you need to travel so far?

This summer vacation is my second time to go to Sabah. I went to Shuangtian for the first time a few years ago. A local introduced it to me. Eating seafood in Sabah is really a very cost-effective thing. We were a group of 5 adults and 2 children. We had big tiger prawns, crabs, bamboo shoots, and other seafood and vegetables, nearly 10 dishes and drinks, and the average cost per person was only about 100. This is absolutely not available in Guangzhou. A warm reminder that the seafood in Sabah is very cheap, but chickens, ducks and their eggs are very expensive. For example, the ginger chicken we ordered this time may be less than half a chicken, but it is more than 50 Malaysian ringgits, but the taste is still quite good. The bamboo shoot fish is very well cooked, steamed just cooked, and the meat is very good; the salted vegetable soup is delicious and refreshing. The rest are some boiled seafood, which will not be particularly outstanding, but the seafood is really fresh. I didn't order the cream tiger prawns this time, because for me, a Cantonese, this method seems sweet and not original enough.

On the last day in Sabah, I chose Shuangtian! It's right next to Huaxing~ The taste is okay! [Taste] It's quite in line with Chinese tastes. It's the first time to eat lobster sashimi and oyster sashimi. It's very fresh and has no fishy smell~ The mantis shrimp is super big! Five mantis shrimps cost more than 200 Malaysian ringgits, which is really expensive! The head of the tiger prawn sashimi is fried, and it's great with local sauce! Coconut pudding is also very special~ [Environment] We are now in an air-conditioned room, not outdoors. We went there a little early, so there was no one. After we finished eating, more people came. Overall, it's okay, big round table! [Service] There are two older people who can speak Chinese, and the service is pretty good. But there are not many varieties~

Good service, Chinese service. The environment is like a food stall. The ingredients are fresh. And the taste is very good. Locals come here to eat. The butter shrimp is very good. The big salt and pepper mantis shrimp is a must try. You can't get this price in China. It is locally farmed. Much fresher than the shrimp from Daqie.

Shuangtian Seafood Restaurant. I personally think it tastes better than Daqie. The creamy tiger prawns and coconut pudding are still that solid and conscientious taste! There are slightly fewer people who like this place, but I think this one is more authentic and tastes much better! The bill is RM465, which is 767 RMB. Very cost-effective
