I Lotus Seafood Restaurant - Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

-
We love to explore and enjoy trying new food. So, here we are at I Lotus Seafood Restaurant located in Kepayan Point shoplot open for lunch and dinner. We heard many good reviews on their signature dish - I Lotus special coconut prawn and decided to give it a try. Prawns are served in a young coconut shell and together with a fried bun that has been cut into 6 pieces. Not very spicy and the creamy gravy tasted good as a dip for the fried bun. I enjoyed their fried bun very much. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Most importantly it's not greasy.

Another favourite dish of mine is the wok fried homemade beancurd with minced chicken in hot bean paste. I love their homemade beancurd. It's really soft, smooth and delicious. Superb sauce and a good combination with the beancurd. Perfect dish for kids and elderly. 

We tried other dishes as well such as chicken yam basket, pineapple chicken and egg yolk crab. Overall it was just so-so. Steamed fish Teow Chow style was a bit bland for me. Apart from that, "Kai Lan" vegetable or chinese kale was too old and tough. We had a tough time chewing it and their shredded butter egg yolk looks mushy as well. We preferred their stir fried sambal with sweet sauropus instead. 

(All prices are exclusive of 6% GST)

Update: This restaurant has been closed down.

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
