Sabah Food Encounter
22
August
Best of the best.. I’m presenting the Sabah Food Encounter that I’ve done during my last visit to KK. Anyhow, I did not taste many many local food.. so not much to show off here. Take your time to scroll for the picture, indulge yourself with the food.
Burger King @ Centre Point, KK

They say Burger King in KK have the best quailty among all Malaysia outlets.

How true is that? Let’s see…I had the SWISS Mushroom Burger. Thanks to Bangla for recalling my memory. I was really really hungry.. the portion is quite small, for me it was really delicious when you are hungry. You know.. after a few hours of snorkeling at the island.. the tummy is sure calling for my name, goolooloo!!!
EGG TART PRINCE @ Centre Point, KK

EGG TART PRINCE
What are the other specialties that can be found in KK, they told me their egg tarts are selling like hot cakes! Hmmm, Wanfern bought each of us an egg tart. Thank you ah mrs turtle.

Let’s get it meltzzzzzzzz in my mouth..

De.Li.Cious?????? Yes, please serve it when its hot!

Yammmmmmmmmmmmmmm TART!

That was our meal at centre point. Thanks to KuetHon My son.. for taking picture for us.
Its my pleasure to bump into Mirian in KK.
Hai Wang Chen, Kota Kinabalu.
Our first dinner outing at KK, 10 of us agreed to have dinner here. Its lucky that we have friend,ALIEN who is the manager on duty, help us to reserved a table for 10. Else, I don’t think we manage to get a single sit as their business is extremely good!
Hai Wang Chen in KK is popular with their various kind of strange seafood. There’s a separate section that you can actually go and choose the live seafood as per your desire, price were also stated. Of course, that’s only if you are willing to pay for those expensive seafood.

Tiger Prawn!!!!!!!! Ok nice to see, but no money to eat! Wakakakakak….

The fragant fresh coconut Juice!!!!!!! RM7 for each!

Fried Chili Crab

Sha Bai Soup (a type of clam)

The Green Green Vege

Fried glass vermicelli, not nice at all!

Fresh Prawns!!!!!!!!

Thai Style Mango Chicken

That’s our group photo at Hai Wang Chen.. but the turtle couple is gone shopping!
It wasn’t recommended as it does not meet my expectations. Some are too salty, some are overcooked, and I really don’t like to pay this much to enjoy this kind of standard lo!! We are paying are way too much compare to what we eat.
Total damaged: RM370 . TMD!
Manhattan Fish Market @ 1 Borneo

Kekeke. Having our good time at Manhattan Fish Market.
This happened on the 2nd day of our KK trip, after the Manukan Island, we visited 1Borneo. The mall is pretty new, not much shop open but it was really the biggest mall in Borneo at the moment. We saw many many food retail stalls, but can’t decide where to eat.
Hence the Buibui Goolooloo says, Let’s go to MANHATTAN!!!!!!!

Watch OUT!!!!! FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Manhattan Seafood Platters. Thumbs UP!!!!!!!

Oh. The cheese melts on the Prawn!!!!!!
The meal cost RM150 for 4 person. I really enjoy the meal! It was so full till the night, which I don’t even need to take dinner.
Sabah Homemade Chili Sauce

We woke up early on Monday morning, walking across the road to find out the local homemade chili sauce from the wet market. It was request by Yen’s colleague to get her the sauce as souvenir. There’s many many type of Chili Padi, some add on with Belacan, and there’s also Mango type. I bought 2, but haven’t get the chance to try. Hmmm..
Wait till I try it, then I tell you Wokey? But i know it must be damn spicy!!!!!!!
Local Coffee Shop
Since Yen and I had walked so far to the Wet Market, hence we gonna try some local cuisine from the nearby coffee shop. I sit down, I have no idea of what to order, as it looks all quite normal and not interesting at all. I know in KK there are lots of great food, only if you know where to get it. Obviously, the 2 girls are lazy to walk.. so get the nearest one and dine!

I have seafood bihun, which i really grumbled for what it comes out. I only had quarter of the food, although it looks quite fabulous, but that was just the look, not the taste!!!

Yen go for the Laksa. Which we thought it should be nice. Maybe we got the wrong shop, or maybe we just cannot get used of their local favourite.
Sigh, its another disappointing encountered!
So next time be wise, please go for those people highly recommended, although you might end up having a long queue but it is worth!!!!!!!!!
HengLong Restaurant , Warisan Square.

We were looking to get our Brunch before take off to MIRI on the last day, so the nearest place to our hotel is Warisan Square, which our other friends suggested that the few dine out are quite nice. We are supposed to go to those HongKong style Char Chan Teng, but that was too early for them to get the ingredients ready, so end up we saw the opposite shop offering 50% off for all the dimsum. Quite attractive deal, so there we go for the DimSum!

Honestly, for the price we are paying, which is about RM3 per item after discount, its very worth to eat. Somemore.. the environmental wise, its very worth for a try. But I have to say again, if its paying at the original price, I’ll say NO NEXT TIME. Sorry ah…
See see see… I really have more complaints than compliments, how come ah? End up the most satisfying meal were at the Manhattan Fish Market which is not a local cuisine some more. But no worry, we gain experience from every falls.. it doesnt matter at all.
So next time, please get a car ready if going to KK, I hate to walk, that’s why i am FAT!
Time for dinner again, I’m going to KADz….

Hi Goolooloo
just want to correct you about the Manhattan Seafood Platter, those white stuff on the prawns are not cheese. It is actually Flaming Sauce
Did you know The Manhattan FISH MARKET has a branch in Kuching at Spring Mall?
