[2025 Kota Kinabalu Restaurant] Travel Guide for Yu Kee Bak Kut Teh (Updated Mar)

2018.09 #Kota Kinabalu(#kotakinabalu) Travel There was a food I saw on a travel program. In particular, it was #Bak Kut Teh, which is a must-eat when you come to Malaysia. So when I searched for #Bak Kut Teh restaurants in Kota Kinabalu while preparing for my trip, I went to #YukeeBakKutTeh (#佑记肉骨茶), which was the most popular. A store that looked like Southeast Asia at first glance was full of people... I felt good because it had a proper local atmosphere. Anyway, I ordered from the menu, and the visuals were very similar to Korean galbitang. The only difference was that the ingredients were intestines instead of meat, and the soup was much darker. I tasted it, and it had a bitter taste similar to herbal medicine. It's definitely a matter of taste, but it was pretty good when eaten with salty rapeseed greens. Anyway, after sweating, eating hot soup definitely seemed to be nutritious, and if you come to Malaysia, it would be good to try it at least once. #Malaysia #MalaysiaTravel #KotaKinabaluTravel #malaysia #malaysiatrip #kotakinabalutrip #Malaysia #MalaysiaTravel #哥打京那巴鲁 #哥打京那巴鲁旅游

The person taking the order can speak English well. 🍲 We ordered liver, small intestines and pork belly. The soup tasted delicious. It was fragrant with spices. The pork was soft and not tough. Some of the intestines had a bitter smell. 🥠 We ordered a set of fried dough sticks, tofu and tea. Tofu is delicious on its own.
