Kedai Makanan Laut Kebun Kelapa 椰园海鲜 at Pandamaran

The last time I came to this restaurant would probably be at least 20 years ago where coconut trees were still around at this neighbourhood. Now it has transformed into an organised development where the old timber buildings are gone.
Deep fried sotong for a start which was lovely that was nicely cut, fresh and chewy. It surely went well with our whiskey.
Steamed Lala clams (Seong Thong Lala) with ginger and Chinese wine another yummy dish to indulge and enjoy for the evening.
This was the dish Siean Sin wanted to have and here it was the steamed Teochew promfret with bihun, guess this must be the signature dish. Everyone enjoyed it very much. 
Steamed fresh water prawns - fresh and juicily tasty.
Steamed red snapper with bean preservative topping
Stir fried Kangkong Belacan simple crunchy and delicious.
Sweet & Sour Crab (甜酸螃蟹) nothing great but palatable.
Fried Bihun with lala clams to fill up the empty corners in our stomach.
The young ones at this table I can see them grow and slowly one by one they get married. All the best in their new chapters.

Fish Noodle at Kuo Man Resturant 国民茶室 at Kota Kinabalu


Six of us woke early and wanted to ride around KK hunting for interesting food, I suggested we cycle to look for Restoran Kuo Man for some fish noodle. After a couple of kilometres and traffic adventures in the city we found Kuo Man. The original shop was packed fortunately two doors away is an extension of Kuo Man.
We parked our bicycles in front of the shop while we enjoy the breakfast with ease.
A fresh fish fillet with clear soup, simple yet delicious.
And a dry version Kon Loh Koay Teow.
Jason was attracted by the sight of  a plate of fried fish eggs and so he ordered one.  It was delicious and rich.
Braised Hakka Tofu stuffed with fish paste is commonly seen in eatery shops in Sabah.
The chilli sauce that is a must with these nice food around.
Another popular shop that we managed to visit in this cycling trip.
The damage.
On our way back to the hostel we visited the wet market for some purchases. A plan to cook was laid out. The fishes are fresh and pricing is reasonable.
While our Chef was inside the market we were guarding our bikes and sharing with the locals about folding bicycles.
Jason and his purchases.

Welcome! Welcome! A restaurant popularly and commonly visited by tourists and it is also popular among the locals who will come as early as six o'clock for dinner. It's located at Kompleks Asia City in Kota Kinabalu.
You will have to pick your choice of seafood for the kitchen to cook and also indicate as how you want them to be cooked. Unless you have decided what to eat if not you will be in a dilemma. There are so many choices to pick.

Fried sotong fresh and succulent.
Fried seafood bihun.
Our clams were prepared in the soupy version it was nice and yummy.

Keng Wan Hing Kopitiam 瓊萬興茶室 , Kota Kinabalu Sabah

Gaya Street on a weekday from where we were staying at Borneo Backpackers Hostel it was a short distance and we went hunting for a good breakfast.
Anslem recommended this shop for its buns & pau. They are freshly bake during peak hours and many would queue up to take away.
Some had kon loh noodles and some had fried noodle with Yong Tau Foo.
The buns and pau are popular and the place is surely crowded in the morning with mostly office workers and some cyclists hehehe. 
I tried the big pau and it was yummy. Thumb up bro for a good meal at Keng Wan Hing Kopitiam. So go check it out the variety of buns they are serving you will love it.
