Restaurant Weng Foh: A Beloved Local Gem in the Heart of Damai Plaza
Nestled in the bustling Damai Commercial Centre along Lorong Kayu Manis, Restaurant Weng Foh has been delighting diners for over 12 years with its authentic local flavours and comforting Chinese cuisine. Catering primarily to the local non-Muslim and Chinese community, this well-loved pork-friendly restaurant has built a loyal following thanks to its consistent quality and hearty offerings.
Breakfast, brunch, and lunch are the highlights here, with an impressive selection of economy rice and freshly prepared local favourites. Among its signature dishes is the restaurant's renowned Tamparuli Mee, featuring springy egg noodles cooked to perfection in a rich, authentic broth that keeps customers coming back time and again.
No visit is complete without ordering the restaurant's famous Char Siew. Tender, succulent, and beautifully caramelised, it is one of Weng Foh's most sought-after specialties. Equally popular is the freshly made Yong Tau Foo, a fast-selling favourite that often disappears quickly during peak hours.
During FAVSTYLE Magazine's visit, Editor-in-Chief Alfred Allen Ginsos sampled the restaurant's signature Seafood Tamparuli Mee topped with Char Siew. The combination of fresh seafood, perfectly cooked egg noodles, and flavourful roasted pork delivered a satisfying bowl that truly showcased the restaurant's culinary heritage.
For a delightful afternoon tea experience, indulge in the restaurant's crispy Macau-style Polo Bun, paired with a traditional local curry puff (karipap) and a refreshing glass of iced Kopi-O. It is a simple yet comforting combination that perfectly captures the charm of Sabah's local café culture.
Whether you are looking for a hearty breakfast, a satisfying brunch, or an authentic local noodle experience, Restaurant Weng Foh is a destination that deserves a place on your foodie list. It is one of those neighbourhood treasures that every visitor to Kota Kinabalu should experience at least once.
