Food Galore

One of the key desires of the returnees for the family reunion was to eat all the gourmet food and delicacies KK is famous for. It is unthinkable that a family reunion can gather without spending time eating together. Eating together is about reconnecting, reliving old times and laughing together.

We spent significant amount of time eating at all sorts of food outlets. Here are but some of the places we visited.

The grandchildren's hope of eating Roti Tisu at Restoran Harun Fish Head Curry, Plaza 333 did not materialize. The outlet did not serve Roti Tisu that day. Even the Roti Canai we ordered that day was not up to mark!

Fortunately, the kids were not disappointed a couple of days later. The gigantic Roti Tisu offered at Restoran Salim, Lintas Plaza left an unforgettable impression to the kids, adults included! 

After a dip at the club swimming pool and a stroll at Tanjong Aru Beach, we had dinner at Lucy's Kitchen in Kinabalu Golf Club.

****************************

At Restoran Kin Hwa, Inanam, we ordered one of my favourite - charcoal-fired roast pork noodle. The crisp and crunchy skin is simply mouth-watering!

***********************

We were supposed to have Nasi Kerabu for lunch at Uncle Garry Recipe at Penampang but we discovered that this outlet had been permanently closed upon arrival at the location. Upon making instant inquiry through the phone, we were then directed to Mom Mom Grill at Rainfield. The proprietor confirmed he learnt his skill in making Nasi Kerabu from Uncle Garry.

***********************

Initially, we had high hope of the banana rice served at Rose Banana Leaf Tanjung Aru. In the end, we found out that this was not to be!

*************************

Of all food outlets, Restaurant Beaufort is the most visited place. I was there in three occasions taking the three families to savor the Beaufort Mee.

First round, with Serene's family.

Then seven days later, with Sam's family.

A week later, we joined Paul and Junshi to have my third round of  Beaufort Mee.

*******************

We had Dim Sum at Lok Tien Dim Sum, Taman Dai Ming. In the photo, the grandchildren were enjoying their favourite steamed egg custard buns (liu sha bao).

********************

The day before we drove to Kundasang,  family members of my siblings joined us for afternoon tea at our home.

*************************

On our way to Kundasang on 11 July, we stopped at Keng Swee Hing, Tamparuli to have the much-publicized Tamparuli Mee for our lunch.

**********************

Lunch at Kinabalu National Park just before we drove back to KK after spending two days at Kundasang. On the way, we stopped at Kedai Kopi Ban Hing in Menggatal to have our afternoon tea. This outlet is famous for their butter buns!

***********************

Dinner at New WK Restaurant, Luyang on 13 July, the day before Sam left for home the next day.

***************************

After Sam's family left for home on 14 July, we and Serene's family had satay at Satay Jawi in Likas Plaza for dinner before they departed KK on 16 July for home. This was our first time eating at this outlet. The extended covered shed outside the main dining area turned out to be a nice place to enjoy the satay! The area has a clear view of the Likas Mosque.
