GK has taken over the previous steamboat shop and opened its fourth branch in Damai, in the same row with Kim Fah Restaurant and Breadboss Cafe.
Their menu is featuring simple illustrated pictures with affordable prices, also generous portions, with a focus on pork cooked using the 'Sinalau' method.
Their signature dishes are Sinalau Wogok and Bakas (wild boar). However, these are unavailable due to the current declining population of wild boar in Sabah, leading to protective measures.
The pork is 'sinalau' directly behind and outside the kitchen upon order. Nonetheless, they've their housemade red pork aka chasau.
We ordered...
Wat Tan Hor with chasau mix Sinalau
Fried pork rice chasau served with soup of the day, pineapple slices and housemade sambal
The service crew informed me that they had run out of sambal for my fried rice, so they told me to replace it with the chilli available on the table.
I requested some extra pickled vegetables. Although the dishes came with a variety of colourful vegetables, I believe I had enough of carrots for the day. Haha.
Both dishes are well-seasoned and have a distinct burnt taste 'wok hei'. The chasau has vibrant red colour and gravy but has a tough texture to chew.
Personally speaking, their pork wasn't my liking. I couldn't finish my fried rice, so I took it home, reheated it in the microwave for dinner and share with Mr Hubby.
Due to the limited number of tables inside and outside, the place quickly fills up with students and locals who live and work nearby. They accept cash and QR only.
Kthxbye.
