"Nyuk Pau Manggatal is a branch of the famous Nyuk Min from Manggatal. Like all other beef noodles, they are generous with their beef portions. Personally, I find the broth not to my liking. I prefer Yii Siang Nyuk Min's version (based only in Kota Kinabalu), which has the normal broth. Or you could try the Laksa broth instead."
