When you are in Tawau, take an
evening stroll along Tawau Sea-front (Tawau Water Front) to view the ongoing action at
the street side hawker stalls. It's Tawau local dinner theater at its best.
Most eateries consist of round
tables and plastic chairs clustered under the stars. The kitchens are
simply tables and counters laden with barbecues and propane burners.
The atmosphere, nevertheless, is enticing. Music pours from some stalls,
while others reverberate with the clatter of dishes and the chatter of happy
patrons. Most customers are local families and visiting friends out for a cheap and
delicious night on the town.
Tawau's hawker stalls are usually open from dusk to midnight, with 5:00 to 11:00
p.m. being the best hours for dining.
No visit to Tawau is complete without sampling
the culinary delights of its night hawker food stalls.
