What happen when few avid travellers decided to open a cafe? It end up with a cafe name Biru Biru serving local food  with a western twist. The decoration is simple with collections of paintings and stuff collected from their travelling. If you looking for Biru Biru Cafe, you will see  “Sharikat Biru Biru” sign above the entrance.

Jules, one of the owner of Biru Biru, kind enough to explain to us the story behind the name biru biru. The name Biru Biru was picked because they cannot decide on a name and one of them say,  “just call Biru if we cannot agree on a name” and hence it is named Biru Biru. Definitely not an inspiring way to decide on a name but the name Biru Biru somewhat sound hip and fun, truly match the atmosphere at Biru Biru

When we look at the menu, we were impressed with the offering with a good mix of local flavours and western food. They only serve Hinava on weekends for the time being. Best way to start a meal at Biru Biru with Pusas (Dusun word for snacks) which goes well with drinks.
