Chi Hin Restaurant (Non-Halal) 

When in Tenom, don't miss out on the local culinary delight: corn-fed chicken! You'll be pleasantly surprised by the exquisite taste of this poultry. The meat boasts a delightful combination of firmness and bounce, and the distinct yellowish hue of the skin is a result of their unique diet. Unlike conventional farm chickens, which often carry excess fat from consuming cheap grains, the fat layer in corn-fed chicken is notably leaner. Another noteworthy aspect is the use of older chickens, contributing to a denser and more satisfying meat texture. At Chi Hin Restaurant, you can also indulge in the local delicacies such as spring rolls and steamed pork belly.
