I’m blessed with many friends who know I love to
explore different foods, and it is also from suggestions of these friends that
I manage to experience all these different places documented in this spot on
the interweb. But even better than suggestions though, is when friends brought
me to the source of food – like during my last work trip to Kota Kinabalu,
May picked me up and took me to this place by the name of Sabah Keratang. Keratang
is the local name for Giant Garupa – the largest bony fish that offshore Sabah.
While there’s a misconception that giant garupa is just normal garupa that grew
old and huge, it is actually an entirely separate species of garupa that can
grow to half a tonne and has distinctively thicker skin.
Unlike full-fledged seafood restaurants like Welcome Seafood, Salut Seafood, New Gaya, or fish noodle places like Fatt Kee, Taukefish, Sabah Keratang wedged itself pretty much right in the middle, offering fish noodle soup, fried rice or noodle with garupa, and a selection of seafood and other dishes to go with rice. Over the dinner for two, we ordered a garupa soup (RM 30 for small), 3-in-1 seafood (RM 29.50 for small), and vegetable (RM 10) with a couple plates of steamed rice. The garupa soup was as good as any seafood noodle places, with tomato and salted vegetable tofu soup base that compliments the fatty nature of the garupa meat with its thick skin. Portion was rather healthy as well even though this was a supposed to be a “small” one. The 3-in-1 seafood came with prawns, squid, and of course, giant garupa slices. This turned out to be our favorite dish, the seafood was fresh and super tasty, and while it was slightly on the saltier side, with steamed rice it was perfect. I love it. As for the vege, it wasn’t anything to shout about, not anywhere near the Kundasang sort of vegetable I enjoy.Overall though, I thought Sabah Keratang is definitely a worthy place for a meal if you find yourself at Kota Kinabalu.
