Being a Glutton
Kota Kinabalu – Part 1
In July, during world cup final week, me and mrsmallface Airasia our way to kota kinabalu. Our maiden trip to East Malaysia and there IS really a different from here.
First of all, we need to keep the visa issued upon arrival and present it before departure. Valid for 3 months. What was that about 1Ma..? huh? Get the basic right first okay?
After much research on accommodation, we settled for this quaint little boutique style hotel near Gaya Street – Eden54. It’s run by the owner herself therefore, you’ll be expecting the cream of the cake terms of service. It actually has all the basic stuff you will need in a room where you just sleep in. Clean, comfortable bed and nice tv. Do a quick check on tripadvisor if you like to know more or just look at the website. You’ll find almost all the info you need.
We rented a kancil for RM100 per day to drive around. Most of the places of interests are actually located out of KK. Do come prepared with a reliable GPS. The things we noticed is, the locals are really easy-going lots. They aren’t that calculative 
very good *like*
Picked up CousinTing near her rented house and went straight to eat! What else!
Had this funky green milk tea – also known as Teh C Special. The last green layer still remains an unknown substance 0_O However, it’s nice! something you must try when you are in Sabah, you know? like Penang = Char Koay Teow -_-
Also, we tried the local dish which is something like Wan Tan Mee but it is called kampao mee instead. The soup is herbal base, not soy sauce hehe. It’s actually nice.
After filling our tummies to the brim, we went to visit the UMS campus and 1BORNEO before proceeding on our adventurous journey to find Lokkawi Wildlife Park. It took us longer because “someone” choose not to trust the gps *dark face*
Entrance fee @ RM10/pax for local.
Remember to join in the Animal Show, i think at 3pm daily. It was actually entertaining and surprisingly good for local zoo. haha! Like watching CousinTing losing to an Orang Utan.. hahaha!
Just to share some funny animals shots.
Lazy wildcat.
Obscene Orang Utan
proboscis monkey..is it even spell this way? It look so funny with the flat nose!!!
Some beautiful visitors to the Park.
And 2 boring human :P
Stay tune for the next post on one of the best seafood deal in KK

Wild Boar Curry Mee @ Kuantan
Before I go into the above topic, let me get something off my chest first.
Inception was ingenious!! I won’t mind watching and rewatching it again as it’s seriously pure mind fuck!
If you love watching movie, GO WATCH IT!
If you only choose to watch certain genre of movie, GO WATCH IT!
If you dont watch movie at all, just GO WATCH IT!
The point is
GO WATCH IT!
I want to fall into a limbo~ rock it~
~the end~
Sometime early this month, I was dispatch to Kuantan for work purpose. My boss is such a foodie, it was actually quite nice going on trips with him because he’ll be able to bring me to unique places to savor local delights.
As mentioned in previous post, I’ve so much good spots to share in the suburbs of Malaysia but I’ll start off with this. Simply because it’s not everyday you get to see my taste Curry Mee
This one especially are served with Wild Boar meat that is just so tender!! The noodle used are not the usual thick yellow noodle, instead it is kind of “flat” ? Like thin ruler…he he.. nice
I had the small bowl without the veges. Don’t dare to take the photos of Boss’s bowl 
It’s really rare to be able to try wild boar meat that are tender. Good! And the place operates in the middle of no where. In a small shack next to a field. That’s my boss, ignoring me, enjoying his meal
It cost less than RM12 for 2 glass of iced Milo and 2 bowls of noodle. Rest assure, the normal bowl portion are much bigger hehe..

Bella Italia @ Pulau Tikus
Last Friday, Mrsmallface decided to treat me to a nice dinner in Penang!
Since the boy never been to Bella Italia before, arguable one of the longest standing and good Italian eateries in Penang, we went there.
I guess one can’t get very creative with German nor Italiano food. It’s meat or carbs. -_-
Ordered the Bella Italia Special pizza with ham and all that, plus a carbonara to share.
Okay, I think I look very weird here. Short arms and big head. Abit like the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland no? Hahahha!
Mrsmallface and his vanilla milkshake!
Verdict: The ingredients used are fresh. The waiter said that they are famous for seafood stuff and it’s true. Also, we notice many ordered the Tiramisu but we are too stuffed to even drink plain water.
Overall, in terms of Italian in Penang, we totally feels that Ecco Cafe is FTW!!

Swan Restaurant, Kuantan
One of the most ask question when one visit places like Kuantan, Cherating is ” WHAT TO EAT?”
Many will be skeptical that places apart from Penang Penang and Penang can offer any yummy dishes.
But the one is wrong!!!
How can that be? In the small city of Kuantan, actually lies a very yummy dish of Claypot Milky Prawn.
This place was recommended to us by MrSmallFace’s colleague, and he only recommended 3 dishes and 3 dishes is all we ordered…. (plus a not-up-to-standard at all “Sai Yong Choy Thong” )
Therefore, if you ever go Kuantan, YOU SHOULD TRY THIS 3 DISHES!!
The Handmade Square Toufu
The Claypot Milky Prawn which is the ultimate bomb of the trip!! The concoction of the milk and cream and seafood just blends extremely well together. This dish is what you define as fingers licking good
Last but not least, The Amazon Thai Asam Fish. The portion is so generous we name it the fish from Amazon river 
That’s all for now. Stay tune for next update…soon… -___-
