Restoran Vui Kee @ Kunak, Sabah

Kunak is a tiny little town situated on the East shore of Sabah, merely 80KM away from Tawau, all surrounded by nothing else but palm tree. However everytime I pass by Kunak I was attracted by the big prawn statue at one of the round-about here. This must be related to the town, as one of their income source other than palm oil plantation and industry. Then it came to a oppurtunity for me to clarify it when I visited Restoran Vui Kee, a seafood restaurant at Kunak. I was told that not far from here there are a numbers of prawn farms, which already become one of the major supplies of tiger or yellow prawn in Sabah! OK, lets taste the freshness of local grown prawn today =)

Vui Kee is located at Kunak Square... hmm... how do I describe this place? Maybe to say that there is a row of shop house near a junction between Federal Road A5 which connects Tawau and Lahad Datu, and the road to Kunak Town. Another clue is, this place is not far from the Kunak Hospital.

Prawn cooked in butter sauce, no complain because the prawn are really fresh and don't have the annoying smell of "baja ikan" (fish feed)!

Free range chicken, very meaty and chewy. Nice!

According to my client, there are two seafood restaurant here at Kunak, and Vui Kee is the only one "pork free". Good news for my muslim friends, definitely a good one =)
