Seafood at Restoran Pasir Putih Baru in Sandakan, Sabah

There is nothing much you can do with it when you have fresh seafood. Employing the simplest cooking methods like steaming and baking will be best. The ocean have done the seasoning and all we have to do is let the natural flavours exude from those shells and scales. Being at the edge of the Sulu Sea, Sandakan boasts seafood of premium quality. You'd be missing out if you don't have your hands on them when you are visiting this part of Malaysia.

One of the promising restaurants is Restoran Pasir Putih Baru. With fish tanks in sight upon entrance into the restaurant, you can sense that this eatery is serious with their seafood. This restaurant serves no pork and is muslim friendly.

Lobster Noodle

What better way to serve a plate of noodles than with a whole lobster. This grand platter tastes as regal as it looks. With fried egg noodles (sang mee) beneath chunky lobster meat, gravy thickened from superior soup is poured above it. The noodles is allowed to soak up the gravy and soften to the perfect bite. Combination of the noodle, gravy and lobster is very engaging and will have you licking off the plate.

Enjoying every bit of it

Steamed prawns

Timing is all the seasoning needed for this plate of steamed prawns. The restaurant lets its crunchy flesh do the advocacy for its freshness. I prefer it without dips to enjoy the unadulterated taste of the sea. 

Freshness is apparent with every crunch

Baked crab

Crab is prepared by baking with a rub of salt. I personally felt that salt was not necessary but it did not do much harm. Crabs are crabs are crabs. It kept the people on the table focused while digging for crab meat.

Toothsome at every bite

Squid in dark sauce

Squid is the kind of food that requires some expertise as it can be from undercook to overcook in a short while. The squid meat was springy and served with simple seasoning like dark sauce and oyster sauce. I would return for fried and salted egg version. 

Steamed garoupa in soy sauce

This steamed garoupa is the case where less is more. The big fish is meaty and only needs a touch of soy sauce to reach that blissful taste.
