Party Play Lifestyle Cafe - Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Most of the time we will have early dinner to avoid traffic jams and crowds. Besides, it's easier to look for a parking spot during off peak hours. This time we decided to check out Party Play. Located at Gaya Street, Kota Kinabalu - Sabah, we found a great parking spot right in front of the restaurant. When we got there before 6pm, only three tables were occupied.

The last time I had Lorong Selamat char kueh teow was one year ago and it was very salty. This time I can taste the burned wok flavour. I believe you can get a better char kueh teow elsewhere in Penang at a cheaper price. It was an impromptu business trip to Penang. We managed to get a really cheap over the weekend airfare (roughly RM 40 per person) from Kota Kinabalu to Penang via Air Asia Big on the day itself.
