As usual, several of my reviews from here
on will focus mainly on my recent work related trip to Kota Kinabalu. I have
managed to rope my dear partner into accompanying me as he was still in sulking
mode on not being able to have our annual holiday last year. It was already
late in the evening when we finally managed to check into the hotel (see previous post) and as we’re a bit
jet lagged and just stones away from the Centre Point shopping mall, we’d
decided to find something to eat within the premise. I was also hell-bent on
finding new places to eat (as my partner has the tendency to repeatedly visit
places that we’d frequented before) so I quickly manoeuvred him to the lower
ground floor area where the main food court is at. I remembered that there’s
this Chinese Muslim restaurant that I had initially wanted to try before and I
was quite happy to find out that not only does it’s still opened, but has also managed
to expand their business into two shops now.
We were given this extensively pictured
menu upon sitting down and I was amused to find that the menu was mainly in
Chinese language (but they do provide the English translations as well). Communication
with some of the waiters and cooks (who were originally from China ) might be
tricky since they do not speak either English or Malay that well. So after
going through the pictures for awhile, I finally pointed my finger at their
Sweet BBQ Sauce Chicken with Noodles since I have been admiring the Chinese
guy’s skill in hand-pulling these delicious looking noodles from scratch (and
by that I mean from its original dough form). And I must say that I’m impressed
with the noodle’s springy texture, as well as the well portioned and tender
chicken chunks. My partner decided to forgo the menu altogether and opted
instead for their Nasi Campur option that were available in front of said
eatery. Choices were pretty limited by the time we were there but my partner
said that he still enjoyed the ‘very Chinese’ tasting dishes.
