KK is inundated with seafood restaurants. They are everywhere. I was so shocked to see a food court next to the cineplex in the city where every hawker stall caters only to seafood and nothing else! Imagine a whole food court with only seafood orders! And to Singapore standards, the seafood there is so cheap! So hurry!
Here are some of my recommendations for us FOOD enthusiasts:
Ocean Seafood Village
Situated in the city. It has a wide variety of seafood. The interior is very wooden more 'kampung' in ambiance. Try to have what they call it 'Sabah Vege' They really serves lip smacking dishes.
Krishna Curry House | |
|
This restaurant is situated at Penampang New Township (Towering Area). They took me there one night. I found the fish head unpalatable. We have far better fish head in Singapore. But what was really good was the Indian-style veges and the honey stir-fried bird dish. Unusual but interestingly appetizing. What more, with a free flow of teh-tarik, this curry place is worth trying.
Salut Seafood Restaurant
But the BEST seafood experience was at SALUT Seafood Restaurant (picture above). You got to drive half an hour from the city to this swamp, located near the Sepanggar Bay and Telipok and you get to the very place where they home- breed prawns, which make the prawns super fresh. The restaurant is build on stilts and from crab to fish to clams to prawns, this is THE ultimate seafood experience in Sabah, confirmed.
Tanjung Aru Beach
Another place worth going to is the Tanjung Aru beach front. The beach is unspoilt and scenic. They serve a local coffee called Tenam coffee. For me, it is just right for black coffee, not too strong. There is also a seafood restaurant there but it is very touristy. However, you should go to the nearby hawkers' centre. Try the fresh young coconut and order satay. Price is reasonable and the food is good.
Agape Sabah Mission Team
