This morning, we had plans with the baby’s great grandfather for brunch at KKIA Sup Ikan. It had both indoor and outdoor seating. It was a hot day we sat in the indoor air conditioned room. Outside, there were multiple food stalls apparently owned and operated independently of this restaurant. They even had a takoyaki… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 31: Kota Kinabalu

This morning's cafe of choice is October. We've been to another branch earlier this trip after our Vietnamese lunch. Loving the rustic decor of the place. We ordered our usual coffee choices and also a Korean street toast and bulgogi wrap. I was really impressed with the food here. It's so tasty and reminds me… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 30: Kota Kinabalu

This morning, I was excited because we're heading out for some soto! I saw a very delicious-looking bowl of soto on one of Aaron's cousin's social media posts, and she promised to take here. The restaurant was called Restoran Sri Rezeki in Inamam. Apparently this area had a lot of great restaurants. It was a… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 29: Kota Kinabalu

It's been a very busy week with all the holiday festivities so we were looking forward to a relaxing, chill day today. We started the morning with some coffee and breakfast at Flow Coffee. It was a lot busier today but we managed to find a table in their outdoor seating area. There weren’t many… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 28: Kota Kinabalu

Happy Lunar New Year! Today's the day. The biggest celebration in many parts of Asia. It's the day you wear nice, new, traditionally red, clothes, where the young, single people get to collect lucky money and of course where everyone get to enjoy a nice feast. We started off the day with a quick breakfast… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 27: Kota Kinabalu

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. As usual, we're on the hunt for a specialty cafe to visit. Unfortunately, being from Canada, where Lunar New Year isn't really celebrated, we didn't realize a lot of stores close here today for the holidays. We tried going to Tree Monk but they were closed. Then we went… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 26: Kota Kinabalu

Good morning, Kundasang! Our time here is short and after a breakfast of mee goreng from the restaurant (unremarkable) and fried mee hoon by our auntie (comforting and simple breakfast), it was time to check out. It was one of our travel companion's birthday, so we head to share a cake (plus a few cake… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 25: Kota Kinabalu

We're taking a road trip today to Kundasang, "the New Zealand of Borneo". We were all looking forward to some family time in nature. But first, food. We quickly grabbed a quick bite from the hidden food court of Imago mall before heading off for the day. I had some soto from Soto Satu. Soto… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 24: Kota Kinabalu

This morning, we had breakfast plans with one of Aaron’s cousins but in our usual fashion, breakfast turned into more like brunch. We went to Ho Kee Fish Noodle Soup. The fish soup was very flavourful and fully packed with various fish parts and tomatoes. I had the kon lo mee which was noodles mixed… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 23: Kota Kinabalu

Day 2 in Shangri-La. We had an relaxing morning, sleeping in and having a late breakfast at the restaurant on site. We had the option of breakfast at the Horizon Lounge or at Cafe TATU but we chose the Cafe since there seems to be a lot more options. The lounge did provide table side… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 22: Kota Kinabalu
