Foodaholic Tawau: Jesselton Point Food Stalls (KK FoodieVenture #95)

So since we’re staying at the Mercure Kota Kinabalu during our recent trip to KK, one of the nearest places to get a bite was none other than Jesselton Point. Yup, KK’s main port when it comes to travelling to the nearby tourist islands also provides some affordable eats for budget conscious traveller such as myself.

We tried two different stalls (on different nights of course) and the verdict was… just average I’m afraid. Granted, we’re mostly there for the breezy nightly views but the dishes that we’ve tried were mostly okay but nothing too distinguished. On one night, we tried out their Nasi Goreng Lalap and Nasi Goreng Thai (which looks suspiciously similar to the latter minus the sambal) while on another night we went with their simpler dishes; their Nasi Goreng Kampung and Nasi Goreng Nenas. Even though they do have a cleaner & a more comfortable environment than the other by-the-ocean food meccas in KK, patrons were few and far between. Personally, I think the lack of variety when it comes to their stalls contributed to the lack of customers. And this is something that the main operator needs to look into as the place has a lot of potential, especially with a few other commercial constructions going on nearby at the moment.
