KL eatery Borneo highlights little-known ingredients from Sabah & Sarawak


Tender, juicy pork is part of the charm of the Borneo satay. - SAM THAM/The Star

One day not so long ago, Sheela Velappan was having a conversation with her friend Emily Chak over lunch. That conversation sparked an idea. And within the span of 20 days, that idea became Borneo Restaurant & Bar.

“Basically, Emily is my partner-in-crime where alcohol and food is concerned. So on and off, we’d been talking about how we should start a Sabahan/Sarawakian restaurant because there is nothing here from Borneo,” says Sheela.
