First of all, I’d like to thank our regular customers for your patience over the past two weeks, as we worked to get the new place ready for your enjoyment. We know a “bacon-and-sausage-less” existence is no light matter as we’ve been made aware from some of your despondent cries to bring the bacon back ASAP! I thought I’d share with you the monster we had to transform (what was the former Big J coffee shop at Asia City).

And here’s what it looks like now a few short weeks later. Wait for it, wait for it… Taaaadaaaa!

The new and improved Stone Bridge Galley

Behold! I present to you the brand new Stone Bridge Galley. Kudos to a job well done from everybody, from the contractors to our staff, but most of all to my dad whose propensity to get the job done never ceases to amaze me. Maybe a small pat on my own back for the time spent being a “pain in the ass” where it’s due.

As you can see, we wasted no time at all and I am happy to announce that Stone Bridge Galley reopened for business at the new location starting from yesterday October 13th, 2009. The new restaurant is spotting a big and bright sunshiny sign (like a glass of orange cordial) next to Bank Muamalat, which is on the same block as the Mercedes Benz showroom (Hap Seng Auto) at Asia City.

Apart from our signature Homemade Bacon and Pork Sausages, we have expanded our menu to include Charcoal Oven-Roasted Rosemary Lamb, and very soon we will be offering English Slow-Roasted Pork with Apple Sauce for dinner.

We have kept most of our Asian favorites like Ngiu Lam Mee, Chicken Mushroom Noodles and African Pepper Stew on the menu and added traditional Hakka dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Here’s a picture of one of our daytime signature Hakka creation, the savory Moi Choy Pork Noodles (Konlaumein).

In the coming days I’ll be sharing more food photos. Come and say hello and try some of our dishes!

Stone Bridge Galley is open daily from 7:00am – 3:00pm for breakfast and lunch, 3:00pm – 6:00pm for tea, and 6:00pm – 10:00pm for dinner.

Did you know you can get a Full English Breakfast in Kota Kinabalu?

Ever wonder why I hardly whine about British food cravings since I’ve been back in Malaysia? Quite fortunately I get to eat British food at home but more significantly, one of my cravings is easily cured because we make our own Smoked Bacon and Cumberland Sausages from fresh pork at home!

Yep, I know this sounds like an extreme measure but after 30 years without a good fry up, I guess it is understandable why my dad would want to make some.

Earlier this year when both my brother and I were back, we made some, had some, loved it and thought it would be selfish and borderline cruel if we didn’t share it with our friends who lament about its non-availability in Kota Kinabalu. So we threw a couple of fry-up sessions (which was quite the excitement) and was cheered into opening a place that offers real bacon and sausages on a consistent basis.

Now, it is with great pleasure that I should announce the opening of Stone Bridge Galley in Asia City. Below is the flyer that went out today and there is a map there. We’re right next to the Pirates Bar at Asia City.

I hope to see your smiling faces chewing on streaky bacon and sinking your teeth into real bangers! If you need help finding the place or have any other questions feel free to email me here. No you’re not imagining this. The bacon and sausages really exist in K.K. and it’s calling your name!

P/S: Do spread the joy around.
