Greetings from Sabah!
I forgot that I have not posted over here about my trip to Kota Kinabalu. I flew here this morning by Air Asia and my flight was early by 25 minute! The flight took off 15 minutes early. Go figure. Nice or what?
The internet connection here is horrijible slow so I won’t be posting a long post. However, I must share these pics of what I ate in the afternoon.
This looks like some grapes but is seaweed and very tiny. So cute eh?
I went to some local market across the Le Meridien and have so much fun looking at all those stuffs I haven’t seen before. Fruits with funny names, fishes fresh from the sea, lots of herbs and many more.
The fresh squid is grilled on open charcoal fire. Best!
I have uploaded lots of photos in my Flickr album tagged Sabah. Hop over to see!
Tomorrow we are going to Mount Kinabalu foothill, Kundasang and Poring. The next day we are going island hopping and on Sunday, we are going to explore the areas around Kota Kinabalu. If you have any excellent eating places to recommend, do drop a comment. I love KK!

Dun forget to try out the crispy deep fried Keropok Bayam snack. There are several stalls selling the snacks on the way to Kundasang War Memorial
Oh, you’re going to Poring =) I went to the hot springs there, but we didn’t manage to enjoy the hot spring water because they were all under construction and there were simply too many ppl :S
But the Hanging Bridge in Poring was fun, although tiring. Hope you’re enjoying yourself!
Check out Precious Pea’s blog, she had just gone there not long ago…
Welcome to Kota Kinabalu! You must try the ‘sabah vegetable’ also known as ‘shu jai chai’ in any chinese or seafood restaurant.
If transportation is not a problem, u may go to Gaya Seafood Restaurant in Inanam.
Fresh Pork Noodles (Seng rou mien)the corner shop in Lintas Plaza.
Also, try Italian Cuisine at Luna Rossa near the Jesselton Point (kk port).
Bak Kut Teh (Ngiu Kee Kopitiam) opposite Jesselton Hotel in the city.
Basically, if u see alot of ppl, it means good. Enjoy your stay!
