Hard Rock Cafe - Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

-
We were staying at Promenade Hotel the other day and decided to hang out at Hard Rock Cafe, Kota Kinabalu. The cafe is located at the Oceanus Waterfront Mall just opposite the hotel. We had late dinner, since earlier on we had our so called snacks at Kalamatas Resto'ba. So, here's what we ordered at Hard Rock Cafe, Kota Kinabalu:  

a) Their famous original legendary 10 oz burger - burger grilled medium well (unless you say otherwise) topped with smoked turkey bacon, cheddar cheese, golden fried onion rings, crisp lettuce and tomato, served on toasted butter bun with seasoned fries. Instead of seasoned fries we requested to change it to citrus coleslaw.

b) Smoked beef brisket - slow cooked beef brisket topped with hickory barbecue sauce and crispy onions on grilled sourdough bread, served with seasoned fries, cowboy beans and citrus coleslaw. We were not into fries lately, so I requested them to change the seasoned fries to mashed potatoes* instead.

c) Thick shakes - you may choose your choice of vanilla, chocolate or strawberry Haagen-Dazs ice cream. I choosed chocolate instead. :)

Both dishes were good. I just love the beef brisket. They were seriously tender and flavourful. Onions were good too. I couldn't finish the mashed potatoes as the portion was really huge. Besides, I prefer a creamier mashed potatoes. Chocolate shakes was ok but kinda expensive for me.

We waited for the live band and they started performing at 9.30pm. I really enjoy listening to live music bands. They sang songs from the 80's, 90's and the latest pop & rock songs. Love the music and environment. We stayed until the bar closes at 2am and the band played 45 min sets with 30 min break between each from 9.30pm till 2am.

Update: This restaurant has been closed down.

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...
