Hi guys! I have been taking a short break from blogging. No posting since early last week. I wanted some time to recharge and get my writing mojo back.
So here I am and I have new posts to write. Why?? Because we just came back from our short weekend getaway this evening!
So here I am and I have new posts to write. Why?? Because we just came back from our short weekend getaway this evening!
Destination was Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. We flew in to Kota Kinabalu as early as 6am on Saturday morning! Though most of us were sleepy eyed but we were looking forward to our short holiday. After 1.5 hours flight, we reached KK. I caught the sunrise in the plane. I think the first light is always captivating, don't you agree?
Once we landed, we immediately headed to the our accommodation (Marina Court Resort) to check in. Nice, confortable serviced apartment to stay in and it was opposite to Oceanus Waterfront Mall, not too far from the city centre.
Our apartment is a 3-rooms with kitchen, balcony and 2 bathrooms. Pretty decent to stay in, no complaint from me except I didn't like the bedrooms to be carpeted.
Then we headed to Gaya street for breakfast. Everywhere is so accessible and convenient with Grabcar.
Initially we wanted to try the laksa in one famous shop but it was packed. So the Grabcar driver recommended this place which is a block away in Gaya street.
A taste of authentic Sabah sang nyuk mee. Nice noodle, I actually enjoyed it.
The pork slices were so tender and basically melt in my mouth!!
The others went for the soy sauce noodle.
But I prefer mine plain. I liked it as they added lots of fried shallots on top.
I had a few tastes of the chilli dipping. It was super spicy.
After settled our tummies, we took a walk and headed to the jetty (Jesselton Point) to catch boat for our islands hopping adventure. Beware, as you would be swarmed by tour guides that wanting to get your business.
After choosing one guide company and paying RM37 per person for return tickets to 3 islands, our holiday really began!!

Those meals looks yum!☺
Sounds like a great holiday. can't wait to read your 3 islands hopping experience!
I love the soup but I am not all that crazy about the Sabah konlou mee - prefer the ones here, they give you kampua mee...or at one place, a choice between the two. I don't think I have the energy to go on a weekend trip like this, old already.
Nice getaway with the family, Rose! I have never been to KK though many of my friends have and told me about their adventures going up the KK mountain.
I have only been to KK once and it was a short visit to the town and jetty. All the food looks so yummy!
I have visited KK three times and enjoyed myself climbing the Mount Kinabalu. I love to eat their hawker food too. Good to hear that your family had a good time.
never been to Sabah before...I'm looking forward to ur next post!
I'm happy to hear that you enjoy in your holiday. Resort looks very beautiful and food very delicious.

RM37 per person for return tickets to 3 islands is very good price. Wow. Can't wait to read more about it.
