Good KK Food!

Apart from the super delicious sotong (squid) at the KK waterfront market, I also tried a fair share of other good KK food.

I noticed that there are really a lot of eateries selling kolo mee.

The kolo mee comes with a good serving of roasted pork.

Also on noodles, I tried this super delicious duck noodles - the best duck noodles I've ever had! It was so good that I had it twice - once with dry noodles, the other time with soup (I prefer the dry one btw).

It maybe a lil pricey (RM8), but that's because of its generous serving portion. (Location: Jalan Laiman Diki).

Also at Jalan Laiman Diki is this huge seafood centre, which looks a bit like a hawker's centre. Only difference - the stalls sell many varieties of fresh seafood and is open only for dinner.

Like I said, everything in KK is huge - just look at the lobster, held by the servers.

It was delicious no doubt, though the prices here are comparable to back in West Malaysia and even Singapore.

Not too far off - is this kopitiam at the Asia City Mall. It caught my attention because of its morning crowd.

I have always been awed by modern coffee shops, and wanted to see this local brand too.

Apart from the local brew of kopi (coffee) & teh tarik (tea), they also sell ready packed food like the pulut, nasi lemak & sambal meehoon, all wrapped up nicely. I didn't try this much except for the pulut as it was just too much to eat (think I just had my breakfast then).

Now here comes some of the other tasty & recommended KK food (apart from the super yummy duck noodles above):

This kerepek pisang (banana chips) is like the usual kerepek pisang - crunchy... but yet not salty... and like other chips, once eaten one, one just can't stop!

Got this on the petrol station on the way to Beufort. Truly, the best kerepek pisang I've eaten so far!

This unique pineapple bun, bought at one of the shops at Jalan Gaya. First time eating this, and was really good... especially as the buns served were just out from the oven with the pineapple paste all fresh & warm.

The three layered tea, served with gula melaka (brown sugar).

And what is Sabah without having the coconut... which seems to be in abundance. Sipping the coconut adds to the holiday feel by the sea!

After drinking the juice, the seller will cut open the coconut. At first I thought it was meant for recycling... till I saw others eating the flesh from it. How smart! (wonder why we just don't do it back home?)

The coconut seems to be everywhere.. but I like drinking at the row of coconut sellers selling at the KK waterfront market area (available throughout the day).

Now, the final food I'd like to introduce is the ais batu campur (ABC or sometimes known as ais kacang). The food wasn't that fantastic (maybe it's the stall I ate from). However, the view makes up for it.

This was taken at the Jessleton Point, where there were a row of eateries just by the sea. I had this just after the trip back from Manukan Island - and in time for the beautiful sunset!


All in all, although some may say that KK/ Sabah's food is similar to that of West Malaysia or even in Sarawak, but I find them somewhat different... and yummy!

Honestly, I don't mind coming back for more! Haha! :)
