North Borneo - Sabah Trip (Day 1)

Finally, a trip to North Borneo - Sabah was planned 1st time in my life.

Taking off with cheap flight Airsia, again, waiting at Gate No.3 in Senai International Airport

The 2.5 hours flight made my tummy waiting hungrily for the lunch... and so upon arriving at Kota Kinabalu, we headed to Damai for our lunch at Houng Kee, which serves traditional handmade fish beancurb (鱼腐, 沙巴五宝之一).
A corner shoplot in the backstreet like this, ones who never had any define research of nice food will never find it.


The handmade fish beancurb in soup of tomatoes and sour-salted veggie, of very Hakka-style.



WE loved the noodles here, always very chewy and smooth.


Next, we go around the town in car.
This is known as Yayasan Sabah Tower, was built in 1977, now it has been transformed into the "@mosphere" Revolving Restaurant at the 18th floor of the building.
It is one of the famous landmark in Kota Kinabalu.


Also known as Menara Tun Mustapha, named after Tun Datu Mustapha, a former chief minister of Sabah.

The antique luxurious car owned by Tun Mustapha, displayed at the ground floor.







Dotts Egg Tart can be found at the Lower Ground floor of 1Borneo, the largest shopping hypermall in Sabah. IT serves freshly baked crispy creamy eggtarts.

Our dinner is at a seafood restaurant called WELCOME.... located at Penampang.


The chef recommended Seafood Tofu. 招牌海鲜豆腐

Spicy crabs 甘香炒螃蟹

Mongolian chicken 蒙古鸡

薑葱沙白

Spicy pucuk manis 辣炒树仔菜

and this sumptious dinner only cost us less than RM70!!! There is definitely no where else u can find seafood as cheap in West Malaysia.

This restaurant is always crowded with people even during weekdays.


Although the Star Inn we checked in for the 1st night was not very pleasant, I still managed to take some shoots in the humble inn, the owner is decorating the hotel in a very unmatching manner.
