Food: Borneo 1945 Museum Kopitiam

When I was in Sabah last year, I stayed Borneo Backpackers lounge. What I like to wake up to every morning was the Kopitiam below. Post war design theme was used to design this unique shop, you can learn a little history things that had happen here in Sabah.

Kopi Botol (Coffee in Bottle) retro packaging using recycle beer bottles

Most people came to have coffee, half boiled eggs and their original charcoal-toast bread with kaya & butter. This was captured when we settle down. You can see there is Chinese chess on the table for their customers to enjoy other than the food & coffee.


there are many old posting around the coffee shop

Here is the retro Menu on a piece of flat wood:

Did I mention their bread are grilled-toasted and the bread is a round loaf ? That is to complete the 40's atmosphere.

Yes, this place do serve one of the best coffee in Borneo town. Recommended to drop by when you are there. In the evening I saw them serving BBQ, maybe it was a special occasion.
