Cuisine
Hakka, Cantonese and Hainanese cooking adapted over generations in Sabah's towns, from beef noodle soup to dim sum and pork noodles.
Much of Sabah's coffee-shop food is Chinese in origin, with Hakka influence especially strong. Expect noodle soups, roast meats, dim sum in Sandakan and Tawau, and seafood cooked to order. Many Chinese-run kitchens are not halal; check each listing.
