Kedai Kopi 'kaya' Raya 花生包

Keningau is a sprawling timber and agricultural town and major town located in the Interior Division of Sabah, east Malaysia on the island of Borneo. It is the oldest and largest town in the interior part of Sabah.

We've planned for this trip since a year ago or so. Finally! We are here. Okie! I admit I was skeptical when I heard there is such soft, fluffy, and aromatic bread in Keningau. I was stuffing my mouth-full with one bread follows by another right after the lady deliver our bread to our table.

Family run corner shop tuck away from main road, Kedai Kopi Raya. Bread was made by the owner's son in their small first floor bakery and sell in their ground floor shop. Best time to visit is slightly after lunch hour. Freshly baked bread, out from oven around 12.30 pm and continues to add more variety as time near to 2pm. Caters more for tea break.

Apparently their most famous is their peanut bun. One of the kind where their peanuts are smoother and creamier. 

Next, they put a generous layer of peanuts on top of another generous layer of butter. On first bite, the soft fluffy bun greet you, then the crunchy fragrant peanuts flows in so smoothly with the butter. The mouthful peanut aroma lasted till after we finish our bun and elegantly wash down with their yet another famous 'Tea C'

Never waste the tiny space in our tummy and long journey to Keningau, we tried a few other bun and find most of then equally superb. 

We are spoil by so many choices available - the Yam Bun, Nestum Bun, Red Bean Bun, Tau Sar Piang....

The list just goes on and on and on and on....

Above is Nestum Bun (right side) RM1.40  and Cheese Bun (left side) RM 1.40. Personally I prefer their Peanut bun and Yam Bun, simply because Cheese Bun are just too cheeezy-with-butter yet Nestum Bun is a bit bland where its' taste-overtook-by-butter. 

Next round, if you happen to come to Keningau, this is a place that you must come over. Thinking of buy some extra buns and bring then back to KK, all of it are out of shape. Made a mental note, must bring a huge container on my next trip. Then I can bring back this delicious bun with me. 

Pardon me on these low quality photos, I took it with just my Iphone. Will bring along my DSLR and upload more photo on my next trip....

Final verdict? Make a note, must bring a huge container on your trip. Those buns are so mouth watering that it would be great if you have bigger tummy for all of it.
