Gayang Seafood Restaurant, KK

What is a trip to Sabah without Seafood being part of it ?

Unheard of!!

So after the long day at the Wildlife Park, off we go to Gayang Seafood Restaurant. According to my cousin, this restaurant is usually the choice for local while tourist usually picks Salut Seafood because it is like the first restaurant you will reach around this area. Gayang is located further down the road and not really visible from the main road.

The first thing you do before going to your table is to choose the live seafood which will be served to you in a bit! See the huge selection they have here? Actually Penang also got already

Noticed the plastic bottles in the tank? Each of the bottle actually contains 1 mantis prawn!! The boss explained that by doing this, the mantis can be separated with each other and will not fight. Thus, the mantis served will be in perfect condition. wow wow..

Plenty of Unagi.

The restaurant is shaped like a huge canopy on stilt next to the mangrove. or on the mangrove. whichever is more correct ..This is the crowd at 6plus in the evening.. we were lucky we managed to arrive early before it’s packed to the brim.

The view we had while waiting for our dishes. Very serene.

First up, Sabah weird vegetable #1 . Sabah Shu Cai Choy which I don’t like. But don’t take my word for it as I hate vegetables in case you haven’t noticed yet. Most of my food blog doesnt have vegetable

Sabah Egg noodle. We had this instead of rice. Not bad, but if you had too much, doesn’t taste so nice anymore.

We also had softshell crab but i think everyone will know how it look like, hence no pictures. The Mantis prawn was like RM20 each i think or less. I should have done this blog long ago. Almost forgotten most of it -__-

I suppose the way we had it cooked was wrong as the meat was hard to chew on.

We were actually very full at that time with just 3 person but every single table had the prawns. The table in front of us have like 4 plates of it and we just HAD to have it!!

I think MrSmallFace and CousinTing can vouched for me that it was the best decision we had made that evening. It was seriously damn good!! It’s cooked in a very simple way, buttered.

It tasted so good and mainly its because the prawns are so fresh!!

To show you the size of the prawns. Soft reminder, my face is very big so you can imagine the size of it ya T__T

The best part of it was the prawns cost us like RM20 only!!! DIRT CHEAP isnt it?

We polished everything off nevertheless. The entire meal cost us about RM120 and it comes free with coconut pudding.

A recommended dining experience for those who are looking for seafood in KK. You will have to drive there though or take a cab.

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!
