An Italian restaurant in Kota Kinabalu told me they considered removing this duck dish because it didn’t fit the menu. The problem? The locals loved it too much. As someone from Chicago who’s eaten Italian food in Italy, I wasn’t expecting the duck to be the thing that stood out most. But that’s what made this experience interesting. It wasn’t trying to be authentic Italian. It was Sabah’s take on it. Sometimes the best dishes tell you more about the people eating them than the cuisine they’re inspired by. Have you ever found a local favorite that completely surprised you? #travelwithterryp #kotakinabalu #sabah #malaysiafood #foodtravel
