Sabah Discovery Review

Fook Yuen (富源茶室) - Damai

Personally visited by Sabah Discovery

At Fook Yuen Damai, we liked the soft, untoasted Roti Kahwin with thick butter and kaya, and the golden French Toast with Teh C. The lively, often busy setting was part of its familiar yum-cha appeal.

Our visit to the Damai branch of Fook Yuen was about familiar bread, tea and a place to sit with friends. It had that casual yum-cha atmosphere we associate with an old local meeting spot: lively, often packed, and easy to settle into for a catch-up.

The Roti Kahwin was the part we especially liked. This was soft white bread with thick butter and kaya inside, without being toasted. The appeal was in keeping the bread fluffy and old-school, with the butter and kaya doing the rest. It was that traditional texture we wanted from the order.

We also enjoyed the French Toast. It came in golden, crisp pieces, and Teh C was the drink we liked having alongside it. The two bread dishes offered different textures, so we would come back for both rather than treat one as a replacement for the other.

Ordering was straightforward during our visit: go to the counter, place the order and tell the staff your table number, then wait for the food to be brought over. The busy, sociable feel was part of the experience, rather than a quiet café setting.

Our original caption played with the idea of Fook Yuen as the “king” of Roti Kahwin. What we actually want to preserve from the meal is more specific: we liked the fluffy untoasted bread, the thick butter and kaya, and French Toast with Teh C. Those are the things we would return for.

This records our earlier visit to Damai. For us, the lasting attraction was a familiar, casual place to have tea and talk with friends.

中文点评

Damai 富源让我们喜欢的，还是松软没烘过的 Roti Kahwin，夹着厚厚牛油和 Kaya，再来一份金黄的 French Toast 配 Teh C。热闹、常常坐满的气氛，也是熟悉的喝茶感觉。

不管过了多久，Damai 的富源还是让我们想到和朋友坐下来聊天喝茶。店里常常很满，气氛热闹，是很多亚庇人熟悉的那种老地方。

这次我们喜欢的 Roti Kahwin，是没有烘过的白面包。面包保持松松软软，里面夹着厚厚的牛油和 Kaya。它吸引我们的地方，就是这份传统口感，不需要一定烤脆才好吃。

French Toast 则是另一种路线，金黄酥脆。我们喜欢配一杯 Teh C，一边吃一边聊。一个是松软白面包，一个是香脆 French Toast，两种口感都值得保留在我们的回点名单里。

当时的点餐方式也很直接：到柜台 Order，告诉店员桌号，然后等送餐。店里人多、热闹，是轻松喝茶聊天的气氛。

原来的标题用了“Roti Kahwin 之王”来带出那种熟悉感，不过真正吃下来，我们想推荐的其实很具体：松软没烘过的面包、厚牛油和 Kaya，还有 French Toast 配 Teh C。这些才是我们会再来的理由。

这篇记录的是我们之前在 Damai 分店的体验。对我们来说，富源的吸引力就是这些熟悉的味道，加上可以和朋友慢慢聊天的喝茶气氛。

Sabah Discovery’s Take

We'd come back for

Roti Kahwin and French Toast

We liked the fluffy untoasted bread with thick butter and kaya, and the contrast of golden French Toast with Teh C. The casual, lively yum-cha atmosphere was part of what made Damai feel familiar.

我们会再来吃
