It was Sunday and more relatives were in town so we went out for a family dim sum @ Lok Tien. They were very busy when we got there, so we were grateful that others in our party arrived early and got a table already. Actually there were so many of us, we took over… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 20: Kota Kinabalu

This morning, to continue our self-pampering before the Lunar New Year, we got our hair done at Albert’s Saloon at KK Times Square. Apparently, the stylist here is Aaron’s mom’s cousin. As it is approaching the Lunar New Year, they are also charging a surcharge on the price of their hair cuts so the pricing… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 19: Kota Kinabalu

Time to visit another specialty coffee. Aaron’s pick for the day was Print Cafe in KK Times Square. Apparently, they also had another location named Nature Coffee at Suria Sabah Mall. The concept this cafe was interesting as it was also a print shop in the back.

Today for breakfast, we ate some of the buns we bought at the market the other day. I had the pandan one. Pandan is such a popular flavour here so I had to try this one. It was pretty good fluffy bun with a crispy exterior (since we reheated it in the airfryer here). We mostly… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 15: Kota Kinabalu

Today was Sunday, so Aaron’s mom went to pick up some goodies from the market on Gaya street. We got to try the OG nasi lemak which is an all-in-one simple breakfast package in a banana leaf. We also tried various different sticky rice wrapped snacks and sweets wrapped in various leaves. OG nasi lemak… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 13: Kota Kinabalu

This morning, we decided to get some dim sum at New WK Restaurant. They were pretty busy and the parking lots was almost full but we were able to get a table. Parking is so interesting here where you have to buy a scratch card and then scratch off the appropriate time and date. Such… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 11: Kota Kinabalu
