Great location. Facing Lintasan Deasoka. Elevated walkway to KK wet market. Walking distance to Tamu Gaya, restaurants and konbini. My room on the highest floor was decent, and the bed comfortable.
Enjoyed a bowl of their pork soup on a rainy afternoon. Really hit the spot. Loved the sweetness of the soup, with no unpleasant 'porkiness'. Fresh ingredients, smooth meat, and quality offal.
Popular seafood restaurant in a light industrial area. Plenty of parking at night. The restaurant is bright, spacious and clean. Well-staffed. Simple cooking methods here which highlight the freshness
Village vibe eatery. Fragrant local style curry noodles. Plenty of spices, not too spicy. I chose the prawn option (RM11).
Belongs to the Archdiocese of Kota Kinabalu. Has a bell tower outside with a plaque of past parish priests. The grotto is like a mini garden with a baptismal pool. Ample parking.
Made up of Australian Garden, English Rose Garden, and Borneo Garden. The Contemplation Garden has marble plaques inscribed with the names. Behind the Contemplation Garden is a lookout point.
The stewed wild boar is recommended, venison is good too. The local mushrooms are battered and deep-fried for a nice crunch. The fish maw soup is thick, with the aroma of cooking wine.
Dining there might feel a bit frustrating because of the amount of delivery orders that they fulfill. I liked the Chickanizer. Moist fried chicken fillet with crispy exterior paired with triple bacon.
The Rose Cheesecake is nicely infused with rose and rests on a bed of beetroot crumbs. The Pisang Pengat is perfect for food porn photos. A Westernized local dessert. Interesting banana semifreddo.
Giant freshwater prawns (udang galah) is the theme ingredient here. Have it in pasta, fried rice, soup noodles, tom kha, tom yum, and cheese. The signature seafood aglio-olio with udang galah is good.
Great place for shaved ice. Impressed with their bestseller~ Iron Lady Milk Tea Kakigori. The level of sweetness is on-point, and the aroma of tea is unmistakable. Magically fluffy shaved ice.
Popular with the young crowd. Minimalist design. Korean Potion is a great americano at RM8. Perfect with a Hojicha pound cake. Strong tea taste, but a bit dry. Unique dessert here is the dacquoise.
One of the few, and better cafes in Equine Park. Food portions are generous, and drinks are pretty good. Sweetie chicken bowl is like Korean fried chicken, and comes with a free drink.
Cofftail is the specialty here, which means "coffee cocktails" (don't worry, they still have the usual coffee options). For that reason, the interior is oriented like a bar.
A cosy cafe in KTown with lots of natural light. The coffee and Hojicha latte is good. The Taro Cake has a very unique circular cream layering. The interior is tastefully-decorated.
A brightly-lit lifestyle store with multiple department e.g. bedding, furniture, kitchen, home-office, storage, curtains, etc. I tried their inhouse N-Cool bed topper (level 3).
The Special Wa Zen is a good choice if you like variety and have a big appetite. Interestingly, that set comes with natto. If you don't take raw food, go for the Hanaya Bento.
I am satisfied with the Chibarashi Hojicha latte. My partner tried the Wu Di, which is their house drink of coffee cubes, coconut milk, ginger, and gula melaka. If you don't like ginger give it a miss
Nice neighbourhood mall by Sime Darby with a great selection of food options, small ice skating rink, and a Jaya Grocer downstairs. The escalator handrails are automatically sanitized with UV lights.
Small kiosk underneath the escalator to have something sweet. A selection of ABC, Cendol, Buburchaha, nyonya kuih, and local beverages. The Melaka Cendol (RM8.90) is just nice for two.
Pretty nice mall that's easy to navigate due to its long-ish design. Many retail and food outlets. The anchor department store and supermarket is AEON. Expect jams into the parking due to SOP.
The Peking duck (RM128, needs an advance order) is a bit of a hit and miss. Some parts were crispy, some parts were not. Loved the Nam Yu Pork Ribs (RM18 per portion).
Spacious cafe with high a ceiling, and plenty of natural light. Plant-lovers will also get excited over this place. Selection of pastries (croissants, cinnamon rolls, etc), cakes, and tarts.
Surprising find for me was a nasi lemak sold by a granny at only RM2.50. Comes with fried fish and half an egg! Good sambal too.
Catholic Church with industrial style architecture. Private parking lot and community building. No pews in the church, but they use spaced out plastic chairs.
Choices available are: Hainanse curry noodles, chicken rice, pan mee, Taiping petai char kway teow, chu cheong fun, wantan mee, shredded chicken hor fun, and pork noodles.
Not too sure if the menu is very Spanish, but I did enjoy my dinner. Ordered several tapas, and I was surprised by the big portion. Chorizo omelette and BBQ pork ribs are recommended.
Barcook Bakery always reminds me of Singapore. Raisin Cheese and Walnut Pumpkin are the stars. Late in the evening, they have a buy 3 free 1 promotion.
A private dining experience in a quiet bungalow. Make a reservation and pre-order your mains. A deposit for at least one pax is required. Groups are spread into several nooks for privacy.
