Yay! Goolooloo is back with yummilicious seaFood . I know, its too tempting that we almost migrate over to KK just for the fresh and juicy seafood. We are honored to visit our friend, Alexander in KK on the opening of his new Seafood Restaurant.

As what we understand, as a tourist in KK (Kota Kinabalu), you’d probably get stuck in town if you don’t have a car. Hence, you’ll always miss the chances to taste the best seafood in town!  The 5 of us rented a car from the airport so its much more convenient for us to travel around.

From the direction from 1Borneo (we were staying at Tune Hotel, KK), its about 20minutes drive to Bundusan Square, Penampang. It’s a little bit outskirt from KK city. For the sake of seafood, its worth to pay for the Taxi Fares!

This is really the best seafood I ever had in my life. Once again, my diet plan spoiled. Cholesterol increased!

Let’s zoom in and see what we’ve hunt!

p/s: very sorry, I just can’t recall most of the seafood’s name! :p

First of all, let me introduce you my classmate, Mr.Alexander Sim. He is the owner of East Ocean Seafood Restaurant.

Look for the big red sign of East Ocean Seafood Restaurant, you won’t miss it!

Alex has been waiting for our arrival. He had prepare a special menu for the 5 of us. At first we thought to have a simple meal, but end up its a 11 courses meal.

It started with some vege…

If not mistaken, this is the Sabah local vege, which is their local cangkuk manis.

And a special dish, Deep Fried Bittergourd which I never expect it would be so crunchy and nice!

We had vege soup with century eggs.

Here comes the big seafood platters. I think I missed out certain dish.

We had 2 types of crabs.

All the crabs are real fresh and juicy!

Prawns

Fish

东风螺 Dong Feng Luo . Its a kind of Snail.

Alex teach us the way to eat the Snail. Not only that, he taught us the fastest way to enjoy the crab meat without much hassle.

Phew.. what a heavy meal we had. Let’s have some refreshment!

Highly recommended by Alex, Vegetable Juice. It doesn’t taste awful but i taste so fresh! Its better than any fruit juices. Even camel also can finish the juice!
Alright. Done Eating. Let’s go and look around all the live seafood!

Alex show us the big live crabs.

He says this is not consider big, it could be bigger depends on season.

The place they breed the snail.

This is the prawn in the bottle.

Awesome!! Awesome!!!

The meal was really awesome !!

Thanks Alexander for the treat. We’ll be back again soon!~

Noticed that Maswings are doing promo lately. I’m talking about Maswings, subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines which take cares of Sabah and Sarawak’s inbound flight.

First they’ve monopolized the market, control all the ticket prices which is way more expensive. It may be expensive than going  oversea compare to some other airlines.

Take a very short examples for Miri to Sibu which I fly most. They used to come out something like Maswings Prepaid, which for me back then the fare is still acceptable although it is still quite expensive which is RM90 for one way. But okay, at least its less than RM200 which still not equivalent to air ticket to KL by using Air Asia. But then, they’ve stop it, and implement something new.

For now, the ticket price normally starts from RM138 onwards exclude of Taxes. For a return flight, the minimum I’ve to spend would start from RM280. If I book within a week, the ticket price would hike up to RM300 ++. Is that really reasonable for such a short distance and just flying in the ATR72?

Okay, that’s enough, I can’t say much, they’ve invest on the new ATR fleet. Since they monopolized the whole market, we, the people in Sabah and Sarawak need to pay more to fly! Fly nearer but pay more. This is totally unacceptable.

Can’t you come out something like budget airlines? Or give us more promotions?

Yes, they did actually, but its just another gimmick from them.

I saw this on Maswing’s facebook page. I’m really happy to see that Miri – Sibu are having offers for as low as RM12 one way. That’s really help me to save a lot of money and time. The truth is, the promotions are totally invalid. I’ve been clicking the whole schedule from 01Jan2010 till 30thJune2010. I didn’t see any! All started with RM138.

Okay, assumed that the above promo are not ready, or they published wrongly which I totally can’t get it from their webs. That’s fine! ….

Dear Maswings,

Can you tell me what actually happened to your Malaysia Airlines’s System?? Ada problem kah? If you are unable to give good promo, then don’t give!

Your booking systems are not as good as other airlines. MAS ground staffs are mostly not helpful. Unless you know any of them, maybe its easier. The customer careline are always busy. If you have anything urgent, you just don’t hope they could assist you, I think you might have already drive to Airport and get everything settled.

I’m very disappointed with Maswings. I really hope they could have much more improvement over their marketing skills. Not to give empty hopes only. Please reduce your fare. Those in rural areas are those who need to fly more frequent. We in Sabah and Sarawak don’t have big highways that connect us to everywhere. If we have more and better options, I will not take flights. The truth is, that’s the most convenient way.

If you really want to serve the mass market, then you should be able to make everyone can fly with not much hassle.

So please!

Please be more considerate and love us, your customers more. I’ve been flying with you for ages even before you turn into Maswings.  Don’t you have any better deals for us?

Please make sure, your pilots won’t be as the picture below. Even if Free tickets it shouldn’t be in this way!

Thank you so much!

Your’s sincerely,

Has been idle for quite sometime, its really my bad. Lot’s of friend came and asked , “Hey you stop blogging kah?” , I feel ashamed to answer that I was too busy lately. That was not really an excuse, but just nothing much that I could bring up to blog again these days.

Both of my digital camera was sent to the hospital, one declared death and one is still under investigation. Anything related to life stories hardly to bring up here without a good picture.

Anyway, the one and only big news to share now is , The knot is tied. =)

Thanks for all the blessings and wishes from family and friends. I love you all ! Muaks!
