Kedai Kopi Lotus, Kota Kinabalu

-
Kota Kinabalu doesn't have huge hawker center like you will see in Peninsular Malaysia or Kuching but I have to reckon that the best hawker center in Kota Kinabalu is in Kedai Kopi Lotus. Kedai Kopi Lotus themselves do serve their own food which was very terrible and beyond edible state. So do not eat anything from this restaurant. You just pick the stalls beside this restaurant. There are 4 stalls which I will introduce one by one to you but the only stall which will not be introduced is the stall which is selling Guo Tie ( a kind of dumplings) -  not my favorite.
The best and the most popular stall of all is this chicken wing stall. Everyone is there lining up for them either taking away or dining there. You may need to wait for 15-20 minutes for it. However, it will be definitely worthwhile.
RM2.65/pc for this chicken wing. The reason it is taste so good is because of the perfect combination of the honey and the BBQ fragrance. They blend it so well inside the fresh and tender chicken meat. Every each bite will immersed the BBQ fragrant and some honey juices out into your mouth. The feeling is sensational. 
Ranked second of the local favorites will be this stall's grilled stingray. They do not just sell stingray, they have other fishes too. You can choose any fish you desired in their cold storage and he will weight them to tell you the price. If you agree then only he will proceed to cook.
The sambal and the seasoning are the reason for their grilled stingray to taste so good. If you prefer a little sourish kick in it like I do, they will provide lime for you to squeeze on it. Apart of that, the meat had a little crispy delight which gives you a little cracking sound into your mouth. This grilled stingray cost me RM28.00
Not to forget is this Pork satay stall. They only sell pork and no other meat. They are really the expert in it.
RM1.20/stick is not cheap at all. Almost double the price from what is selling here at Kluang. However, I love the way how they prepare the meat. The meat has a mixture of fatty part and non fatty part in it. This gives the extra fragrance into the whole satay when the fatty part will squeeze out some juices which will definitely awe you. The only thing they need to improve is their satay sauce which was very terrible,.No spicy taste, lack of peanut taste and just contain sourish taste. Doesn't fit the satay at all.
Overall, this is a great place for some junk food. However, be early because the seat here is very limited.

Total Damage: RM96.40 (4 pax)
Ambiance: 2/5
Service: 2/5
Food Serving Speed: Slow
Recommended?: Yes

Champ's Bowling Centre, Sandakan

-
Image
Not really much entertainment in Sandakan even though they are just beside the sea. No nice beach for water activities and the nearest island like Pulau Selingan and Turtle Island are about 90 minutes away. As for the town itself, basically is this bowling centre called Champ's which has a very nice and good condition bowling alley, bowling shoes and bowling bowls if to compare with bowling centres like in KL.  Not very big at all for their bowling centre which only has 12 lanes. Their shoes look so new! Here is a demonstration on how to bowl. Looks pro...I wonder how is the end result. So what do guys think? Is it a strike? They have a lounge here as well. And a cafe too! The price of the bowling is cost at RM4.80 per game per pax. We went at their most peak hours so their price basically has not much different than our KL City price. As for the bowling shoes is chargeable at RM2.00 per pax. FYI, the prices not inclusive government ta...

Stone Forest, Shilin, Kunming.

-
Image
Many people asked me what is there in Kunming, honestly, I will say nothing. It is just a city with a dirty lake called Dianchi Lake. The locals love there though but you really do not wish to waste your flight ticket, accommodation and time for that. Trust me. The best part of Kunming is located 82km away which is a town named Shilin.  Kunming Stone Forest, Shilin in Chinese, is a spectacular set of limestone groups and the representative of south China’s karst landscape. Known since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) as the 'First Wonder of the World', it is one of the most important attractions of Yunnan. An old local goes that if you have visited Kunming without seeing the Stone Forest, you have wasted your time. To get to here from Kunming has several ways: From the airport: There is a special bus line straight to this location from 9.30am - 6.00pm with 8 trips per day. The return bus is from 8.20am - 5.50pm with 8 trips per day as well. The cost is CNY45/trip. T...

Green Dragon Hill @Chimelong Safari Park, Panyu District

Image
The best attraction in Guangzhou is the Chimelong Changlong. It is a very big place like Resort World Sentosa (RWS) at Singapore. Same like RWS with a hotel called Chimelong Hotel and an amusement park called Chimelong Paradise. The difference are they have more than the two similarity which are they have a circus called The Chimelong International Circus, The Chimelong Water Park and the one I am going to introduce to you today, Xiang Jiang Safari Park or which is more known as Chimelong Safari Park. Same like Guangzhou Zoo , they have a north and south gate. You are advised to go to their South Gate. One thing is different is they do not have a long queue like the Guangzhou Zoo because they allowed online booking and payment. To reach here, you take their Metro Underground Train using Line 3 to Hanxi Changlong. They are just located at the exit. I have my cute cousin sister (left) and her friend (right) who are from China. She is so kind enough to take me around and also...

Shark Meat Porridge and Paddy Field, Sekinchan

-
Image
My sister and I has been talking about Sekinchan for more than half a year and we still not managed to schedule our time right for this trip up until now. Finally, we managed to ignore everything we were suppose to do and concentrate for this trip. We started our journey at 11.00am using old road without using any highway to reach Sekinchan. It took us almost 2 hours to reach there. Actually 2 hours is a normal duration if you are using highway, so I am considering myself driving fast and furious along sharp curve zig-zag road and small kampung road. I know my sister already having her cold sweat running over her body. Therefore, my advice is not to use old road. Hahaha...I know actually I should say: "my advice is do not drive fast when using the old road" but I really do not know how to drive slow. Somehow the car automatically accelerate itself. LOL Anyway when we reached there, it is already almost time for lunch. So I took her to a seafood restaurant called Resto...
