First and foremost...

Thank you so much for visiting this humble blog of mine. I'll try to give you guys some good reviews on the local food & sceneries especially from my hometown (yay Tawau, Sabah) so please bear with me ok 😊

Oh and just so you guys know before proceeding...

a) I never travel abroad - so you won't be seeing any posts outside of our beloved country (yet!)

b) I take all of my pictures with my smartphone - so no professionally taken photos here as well (sad but true)

c) I dined using my own moolah - so my comments are somewhat unbias (for now)

d) I have this ongoing problem with my internet at home so I can only go online at work (the 'perks' of living at the bottom of a hill)- so I'm sorry beforehand for any comments that cannot be reply timely (my bad)

e) I don't mind if you guys wanted to use any of my pictures - just as long as you credit this blog as well ok 👍

Also due to my own carelessness, I've accidentally deleted most of the photos that I've uploaded to Google Album Archive a few years back. Thankfully I found a way to recover most of them (but not all I'm afraid) albeit in a much lower resolution & quality. So if you're viewing my past posts and there seems to be missing photos from them, I do apologized beforehand for that. I'll try to update them with newer photos should I drop by said places again in the future. So sorry folks... 😢😢😢

So here goes nothing...

OldTown White Coffee KKIA (KK FoodieVenture #266)

I do noticed that the eateries within the Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) especially inside the departure area seems to be in a constant ever-changing mode. Take this well known kopitiam chain for example. I have only noticed them sometime last year & had only recently decided to try them out (and since their Tawau branch has been closed down permanently around the same time). My hubby wasn't in the mood for anything heavy so he ordered their Kaya & Butter Toast, while I went for their White Curry Ramen with Cheese. The soupy dish was actually quite nice, similar to an instant noodle that I've tried before (or maybe it is said noodles?). And although their menu wasn't as extensive as the ones in their actual kopitiam, they still have some simple yet satisfying dishes for you to try while waiting for your every delayed flight (I'm looking at you Firefly).

Goojiburg (KK FoodieVenture #265)

My second to last KK entry this time around revolves around a burger joint that my hubby saw while scrolling his Tiktok. And of course as a burger enthusiast he insisted that we go to their shop located in the middle of Sinsuran Complex (yup, those old shop lots in front of Le Meridien KK). We'd ordered their Oong Bak Krapow Smash Burger & Rempah Rempuh burger and hubby was satisfied with his. Mine was yummy as well, since I discovered that it was actually a spin to the local dish Nasi Ayam Berempah. 

We also discovered that they're also selling gelatos (specifically named Phileo Gelato) inside the same premise and I did give their Sea Salt Coconut flavour a try. It wasn't too sweet & the texture was also smooth which was really refreshing.

CariMeee Kolombong (KK FoodieVenture #264)

Yup I know, we've been down this road before. But do bear with me guys since my hubby is a huge instant noodles fan and when he heard that Carimeee has opened another bigger, shinier branch at Light Industrial Centre, Jalan Tuaran, Kolombong area, we were there in a heartbeat. Needless to say, it has the same concept as their Plaza 333 branch but with nicer Kpop inspired decor. I mean, there's literally a huge picture of Big Bang's GDragon near to their exit. Nothing much to comment about their food (it is what it is) but I was puzzled however with their choice of location for their second branch. We were there at night and the place was so quiet (with most of the shops already closed) that we actually doubted that we were at the right area. Then again who am I to question that right?

Noms City Mall (KK FoodieVenture #263)

After our lunch at Olde Station Kopitiam at City Mall, we obviously decided to walked around the mall since we were already there. And it was then that I realized that I haven't posted anything about this cookies store, located on the ground floor of said mall (even though I'm actually a frequent customer - my bad). They usually made an assortment of soft cookies and the ones that we'd gotten that day were their regulars the Oreo Cheesecake, Double Choco Chips & Tiramisu and all were of course chewy, yummy and not overly sweet. They're also very active within the smaller, local food carnival scenes and as far as I know had also opened another shop at Karamunsing as well as kiosks at ITCC Mall and Riverson.
