Everyday Food I Love

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Wednesday, 21st September 2016. In line with the Malaysia Day celebration in September, Promenade Hotel Kota Kinabalu pledged to continue its commitment towards its corporate social responsibilities (CSR), by taking the first initiative to acknowledge local unsung heroes of Sabah by unveiling 2 short video clips to ‘Celebrate Everyday Malaysian Heroes’ at its Bougainvilla Room.

It has been more than a year since our last visit to Oriental Cafe (of the hotel with the same namesake). Judging from the many diners and packed dinner hall, this establishment has shed it's previous reputation as a place of 'last resort' and, judging from the food, has certainly risen to the ranks of 'must-go-to' place. Not to mention the inflation busting prices (even before Groupon discount!)

Several famous hawkers place in Sandakan. One of it is at Mile 4 Bandar Kim Fung Market, you can expect some considered good Chinese and Malay food with a very reasonable price. Here you can try what the locals eat during their after tea-break. If you have a little extra time in Sandakan, do try the hawker food at Central Market (2nd and 3rd floor, Mile Eight Market and Saturday Night Market Mile 4 Bandar Kim Fung to experience the locals life!

Salted fish was created before refrigeration technique was invented, fish and other seafood were cured in salt. This locally known salted ikan talang (Queenfish) is the largest of 4 species of queenfish found in tropical waters. Most Talang fish caught by anglers are between 0.8kg to 8kg. Specimens 10kg or more are less common. This species is silvery-grey in colour with bronze patches on the head. It has a firm, white meat which make it excellent for salted fish.

Please spare a few moments of your time to vote for Hibiscus Villa (it's very quick and easy) and other Sabahan places. Hibiscus Villa, at the Tip of Borneo has been short listed in the Best of Malaysia Awards 2012 under the 'Best Boutique Stay' category! They're up against some great competition from Peninsula Malaysia and to win the category would be really amazing for us and also Sabah (only 6 out of about 50-70 nominees under various categories are located in Sabah - STAR, Sutera Harbour, Nexus, Hibiscus Villa, Sepilok and Sipadan). Here's the link: http://www.expatriatelifestyle.com/boms2012
