So let us restart our foodie adventure in Kota Kinabalu (yet
again) in chronological order, shall we? Since we’d checked in quite late to
our hotel (around 10-ish due to a flight delay) I was already in a sour mood as
me and my partner stopped by this restaurant (which was located just behind our
hotel). And my mood most definitely
did not improve when I saw just how untidy their floors were. But since they were literally the only restaurant nearest to the hotel that was still open during
said time, I just have to toughen myself up as I was famished (they’re within the KK Times Square commercial area, on the same row as Manja Hotel).
My night however turned from bad to worse the moment we’d
sat down. Service was really bad especially their cook who’d mixed several
orders and had prompted a couple of customers to walk out and leave. Mine did
not fair any better as it was still non-existent after 30 minutes of waiting. My partner
inquired about my order and they insisted that they were following ‘turns’ –
which was crap since a few customers that came after us has gotten theirs
first. Granted, my initial choice for their namesake dish was unavailable
(their food trays were practically empty by that time) so I got no choice but to
ordered their Fried Mee Hoon instead. So when the dish eventually made its way
onto my table, I was so not in the mood that I’d barely finished it. Now to be
fair, the dish was fairly good in terms of taste albeit a bit undercooked. My
partner has had his Roti Canai and a (cold) Ayam Berempah beforehand and he
also thought that the food were just so-so tasting.
