Mentioned Kota Kinabalu and it is usually associated with seafood… Seri Selera Kg. Air or known as Sedco Square in KK is known as a seafood village in town. Just before boarding the flight home, we made our way to here for some local seafood.

We went and check all the prices before deciding and seems that all are the same. If you sit in the open area, there’s a 10% service charge but if you sit indoor in the seafood restaurant there is none.

We picked Hua Hing Seafood and here you can choose all the live seafood available according to your budget. The only I think I find really cheap here are their crabs going at only RM13.80 per kg! So we ordered 2 types of crabs, salted egg and black pepper. The outcome is a bit different from what I expected, both the salted eggs and black pepper crabs are wet and not dry as I expected. Taste wise is ok la but we are more for the cheap crabs.

The other stuff pricing are ok la… on the average… I ordered some giant clams to be steamed with garlics, squid fried with pepper, some paku-pakis vegetables. Besides that, there are also smaller stalls offering grill chicken wings and oo-chen. Pricing is not cheap but average KK price.

Overall we had a good meal here but the real good thing to really whack here are good and cheap crabs!

On our last day in Kota Kinabalu and since its a Sunday, the popular thing to do is to visit the Philipines Market in Gaya street. The market sells all sort of things from tourist’s souvenir to local produces, etc.

One of the place I was asked to try is the laksa at Kedai Kopi Yee Fung which is famous. The shop is overall busy but very quickly you would be able to get a table. We sat down after a tired walk and I ordered their lemon hamkit (hum kat) drink to cool down at 2 bucks a glass, things in KK really not cheap.

Besides the laksa, they also promote their ngau chap noodles and claypot rice on their menu but I go for the famous laksa which is RM4.00 for a bowl of regular. It looks pretty much like sarawak laksa to me, looks the same, taste the same but called differently

The laksa noodles are topped with shredded fried eggs, chicken, prawns, etc. with half a lime to squeeze and very nice looking laksa soup. The noodles is good I have to say, just like eating sarawak laksa and its well worth the trouble to find and eat here!

I didn’t manage to capture the GPS coordinates here, but its at the end of the sunday market near to the agro bank side .

Kit & Carol took us here for breakfast and its supposed to be a famous place in KK for fish head noodles. Located in Bundusan, Wan Wan looks like a shop in an industrial park (don’t ask me man, I just sit in the van and got there blur blur).

The place is crowded in the morning and there are choices of noodles and fish head or fish meat and type of fish you want. They even have “lung tung” (giant grouper) fish head here, expensive stuff! I just ordered the normal one with fish meat and noodles.

The meehoon type used are the thicker type with good clear soup. Slices of fish are then topped on the noodles which have some mixture of ginger, tomatoes, fried onions and salted vege too. The fish meat are very good and fresh which makes the noodles good .

I didn’t pay for it, so don’t really know what is the damage but the noodles are good and judging by the number of crowds, makan here cannot go wrong la.
