Ikan Bakar at Kelombong

Familiar with the sign? Yeah, a place which is famous for their Ikan Bakar ^^ As the restaurant name sounds, the place is situated at Kelombong, where I guess almost every students in UMS or perhaps everyone at Sabah have come across with it for a long long time ago.

Kelombong Restaurant at Kelombong XD

And this is the ikan bakar or burnt fish that I've mentioned ^^

Hehe.. so far this is the best ikan bakar that I've ever tried in Sabah.. gonna be real missing it after back to Peninsular XD lurve especially the sauce much, sweet and nice~ You may always request for more sauces from the stall. They have also 锅贴, chicken wing and satay there, but normally that is how we order - Ikan Bakar from the stall, baby kailan, claypot tofu, rice and barli drinks from the Kelombong Restaurant~ ^^ It costs around RM20/fish, depending on the type and the size that you choose. This place is best dine in with group of friends ^^

大排档 at Lido

After four years at Sabah, only we found out this very nice 大排档 at Lido.. got Peninsular feel and taste, nice nice and highly recommended for sure ^^ The only con of it ? It is kinda TOO FAR from Kingfisher ><

Crowded with people especially during dinner time

You may catch this just at the corner of the shoplots..
So what so special about it?

well, a1l1n lurve its TomYam.. sour and spicy ^^

Stroll along the shoplots, you may find variety of foods that you may be craving throughout all these years at Sabah.. By the way, they have Ikan bakar too, but to a1l1n, I still feel Kelombong's Ikan bakar is tastiest so far XD So let's see what we have the other day...

.. yummy chicken rice..

..Quite-not-bad Ice Kacang.. come perfect especially during these hot hot days *not the "hot hot" in Human show alright* XD

... Hehe lastly, sizzling..

Those craving for sizzling, sorry to say but personally, that sizzling was kinda too salty to me, not really recommended.. it's from another corner of the shoplots.. yaiks.. like tarnishing their name pulak hahaha but I believe the frank comments from the customer always important right =) Hehe after all, for those who have transport in Sabah, do give it a try there lolx.. cuz overall it's rating quite not bad to dine in, if you were to say nice 大炒 food at Sabah larr ^^

Coconut Pudding and Lokam near IP

Went to Gerai Sri Cahaya to have coconut pudding and Lokam with my fellow coursemates, roadside stalls further up from IP area.

The insignificant signboard

How the dining place look like

Clams that we had or we name it as Lokam

It may look kinda yucky at first sight, second or maybe even the third sight? haha but trust me, the sauce that they use to roast the Lokam just fit right in~ If you are afraid of its characteristic smell or taste, dip the flesh with the given chilli sauce, it taste superb~ Well, not every stall offers nice Lokam though, personally the one at Sri Cahaya taste just kinda not bad!! =P Every stall would display these Lokam in front of their stall, you may simply select your desired Lokam there and they will directly roast it for you. Serving hot, RM 7 for smaller size Lokam while RM10 for the bigger one, each bunch would have around 18-25 clams.

Peers that have been accompanying me to walk through this four-year uni life at Sabah

Featuring was the famous coconut pudding, a very special desert from the stall, selling at RM 4 each~ If you're afraid of its too-big portion, you may always opt for the glass coconut pudding, where the pudding comes in a glass instead, selling at RM2 each~ Anyway, personally I still prefer the pudding comes with the coconut itself, you may scrap the coconut flesh after enjoying your pudding too~ ^^

Peppermint Chicken Rice, Asia City

Heard this from a KK friend, and initially I thought it to be very special and interesting cuz.. "peppermint" chicken rice? How would a chicken with peppermint flavour in it taste like? To a1l1n, Gosh.. this definitely is a must-to-try meal before I back to Peninsular~

~A Vietnamese type of chicken rice~ Peppermint Chicken Rice~

~Heard it to have three branches, Gaya street, Asia city and Karamunsing respectively~

~ The interior of the restaurant~ simple but clean~

~Personally it gave me the feel of just like any other ordinary Malay restaurant design~ *As to kill our time.. We were guessing that lady customer was from South America.. don't ask me why XD*

~The well laminated and ring binded menu~

~So the spicy chicken rice was the target =) due to we prefer thigh than the chicken breast, one whole thigh was chosen instead, of course at a higher rate too~

~Here comes the rice, the butter smells nice, and the portion is not big, just nice for gurls~ As for guys, they may always add another bowl of rice at only RM 0.50/bowl~

~ Here comes our crispy One Whole Thigh~ I love the sauce, it tastes real special, spicy yet sweet and salty~ Well, RM 6.50 for a thigh, rice and soup~ For KK citizens, standard lahh~ ><

So, after the long-winded post, I just wanna share with you one very true fact that many people may as well get misunderstood *just like me* at the very first place...

Common..."Peppermint" of the "peppermint chicken rice" IS JUST A NAME larr~!! Where the hell would chicken rice to have peppermint taste in it~ wake up larr~ ><

-From my another KK friend-
==

Well, as a matter of fact, none of the menu offered has any relation to peppermint, not even the beverages, so why peppermint shop? I dunno.. dun ask me why.. perhaps the owner loves peppermint? but still.. why peppermint but no any peppermint dishes is offered in the shop.. 本とにぜんぜんわからない ><"

Anyway, gotta say even though it's not a peppermint tasted chicken rice, they do have their speciality, a completely different kind from any chinese chicken rice style that we have tasted~And the important thing is.. quite not bad ^^

~まず、Tori Teriyaki with.. my lurvely Salmon~!!! RM 45.90 (before 30% off)~ Remarks: This main menu comes with chawanmushi, rice, vege and soup ^^ The salmon is darn thick~!! Mouthful feels ^^ but if and only if they put ice below it (just like how Yuzu did) or froze it for longer period, then it would be just P.E.R.F.E.C.T.~!! Cuz the salmon was kinda too soft =( defrost too long d perhaps =(( Btw, the chawanmushi and misou soup taste really nice~!! a1l1n lurve it too~!! ^^

~As for the FREE side dish~ we have chosen this tofu~ ^^

~ Remarks: this one is N.I.C.E too~!!!!!!!!!!!! Fried Japanese tofu~ Believe me, the crust smells great! Hard outside, soft inside, serving hot with its sauce, the taste of this is just impeccable ^^

~Mussels with Mayo~ RM 13.90 ~

~Last but not least, every customer who dine in Fukurou Restaurant would get this pudding for FREE~ My God~~~!! This pineapple pudding taste just so freaking NICE~~!! How wish I could get another one ><

That's all from me~ Guess I'm really a Japanese food lover.. Monday only gone for sushi, and thursday went for Japanese food again XD Well, due to only two-person dining in, the food ordered wasn't that much~ However, gotta say Fukurou seriously is quite an up-to-standard Japanese Restaurant to dine in. Comfortable, simple, nice food with great price!! Those who haven't try it, I would highly recommend you to give it a try~ And apply for its member's card ^^ The above meal just caused us RM 53.95 after tax if you're interested to know XD Ow yar, not forgetting also the staff there are really friendly..

Sam Pok's Grill

Was hell so boring yesterday and thanks to my long lost friend's "kindness", there he suggested this place for our simple dinner session - Sam Pok's Grill, place near Hokkien Association.

~ Look out from the dining place ~

~ Ordinary restaurant view ~

~The promotion "For every western food set, get one mushroom soup for free"~

~As usual, grill chicken with blacpepper sauce @ RM13.00~

Comment: vv oily~!! I still can see the oil floating on my blackpepper sauce == and some of my fries near the chop were soaked wet in the oil @@" So, when order this, please ask them to dry off the oil before pouring the sauce on it, then I guess it should be perfect.

~His crispy fried chicken chop @ RM 13.00~

Comment: Well, at least I don't see oils around the chicken chop.. but I suppose fried chicken is surely an oily choice too ><

Haha.. so overall is okok only la... *high calories meal* but at the vv least we did get a mushroom soup for free bah lolx~ Anyway, thanks for the companion and to a1l1n, a simple meal or simple yamcha session always come perfect for long catching-up session~

Claypot Chicken Rice & Laksa at Gaya Street

Hehe.. Today is another update on food ^^ *Weeeeeee~~*

Well, this claypot chicken rice is no uncommon matter for people in KK. But due to the absent minded me have always forgotten to snap any picture, I never really have the chance to blog about it.

For today's post, please do bare with the poor quality of my K810 embedded camera, especially for the far-zoom objects ><

Yee Fung Kopitiam, situated on the left row of the shoplots at Gaya Street, near the arch

Yee Fung sells only these 3 types of foods, Laksa, Ngau Chap and Claypot Chicken Rice

Highly recommended for their cheap Ice Lemon Hamkit and Ice Lemon Kitchai drinks

The claypot chicken rice, RM4.50/bowl. As we all know standard of living at KK is kinda high, RM4.50/bowl for claypot is consider vv cheap here already. *However one thing, somehow the portion of the chicken rice seemed to have reduced, one of the tactics for tauke to do business huh?*

The Laksa Bihun, RM 4.00/bowl. Quite not bad *Again, please do not compare it with the Peninsular's e.g. Penang Laksa*

Comparing both the Ice Lemon Hamkit and Ice Lemon KitChai, I personally prefer the latter one ^^ RM2.00/glass, best to quench thirst especially at this kind of ultimate hot weather

Some additional information at that shop. Look around, and you will notice this lil' board states: "Dear good citizens, under your table is a dustbin. Please use it"

And...

TADAA~!! Every table indeed has a small dustbin under it, and almost every customer here is being very obedient to dispose their tissues and etc. objects into it. Save quite lots of fuss for the workers there huh? Quite creative idea ^^

That's all from me now, coming up next would be the Emperor's Delight *which also should be posted up last semester but I didn't ><* Anyway, stay tuned ^^
