"What would be the point of dropping into Tuaran without enjoying tuaran mee? Absolutely a must treat for yourself. The noodle, hakka styled home made egg noodle, fried and garnished with roast pork, cha siew, vegetables and egg rolls. Due to the frying, the noodle is fragrant and somewhat crunchy. You can further add flavour with chilli sauce and/or infused with lihing, a locally brewed liquor. A veritable cuisine on a plate. Tuaran mee restaurant would not be so bold to carry the dish name without doing the fried noodle justice. The restaurant is fairly bare but it not a factor for enjoying a good tuaran mee."

"First time try on tuaran mee with sang yuk & sang yuk campur in tuaran. The tuaran mee is Q and tasty. Goreng style taste a bit like mamak . Personally prefer the kon lou style as it taste better than goreng. Next time will visit again to try on soup and mix with meat/seafood."

"They said it's the best Tuaran Mee in town. The noodle itself is already nice without any condiments, it has a chewy texture as seems it used an egg in the noodle dough. During eat it we also can taste a strong the egg flavour in every time we chew. On top of that it very tasty as well. Must Try !!"

"Lunch recently at the home of Mee Tuaran in Sabah. They have all sorts of fried noodles here. If you are looking for the signature style of Mee Tuaran with rice wine, you need to ask for “tambah Lihing”. Lihing is a type of Sabahan rice wine made from "pulut", a glutinous rice, and is a traditional rice wine for the Kadazan-Dusun people. The roast pork noodles was excellent. The seafood noodles used a fish meat that tasted like chicken! Not sure what fish it was. Perhaps some tuna. Unsure."

"Very busy. Food is good when dine in, but takeaway food taste not as good. Maybe you can look into that a bit more. The place is rather small and it is probably time to replace those wooden chairs. Because food taste good when dine in, i'll give it a 4."

"Not to be missed! Absolutely loved the Tuaran mee with lihing. We even ordered seconds and thirds. Very flavourful, umami and egg noodles were handmade."

"Sabah Part 4 We were supposed to meet another couple who flew in late at Tuaran. So when we got to the town, the first thing we did was to look for Tuaran Mee. With no reference whatsoever, we looked for the oldest looking shop - almost all shops looked old so we settled for the one aptly named with the famous dish from this town. Price varies depending on what ingredients you order for the Mee - one has option for biasa, saunyuk (roast pork), seafood, daging, saunyuk campur, daging kering campur and kosong. ◾Mee Goreng is a must-order! The homemade noodle packed with wok hei although not much presentation. ◾Kon Lau Mee - basically noodle with concoction of dark sauce and topped with ingredients. Options for those who don't like their noodle dry. Their fried noodle was definitely star of the show. They do have another branch in Inanam for those who don't feel like traveling far. We also bought durian from a stall next door but the flavour didn't come close to West Malaysia's."
