The Penyu (lunch) at Nexus Resort & Spa Karambunai - Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

-
We had both breakfast and late lunch at The Penyu on our 2nd day of stay in Nexus Resort & Spa Karambunai. I ordered Nexus decker, a triple decker sandwich with grilled chicken breast, beef bacon, fried egg, sliced tomato, red onion, Gouda cheese and mayonnaise served with crispy french fries while my partner ordered nasi goreng - spicy fried rice with chicken and prawn served with fried chicken and satay.

I love their Nexus decker. Chicken breast was tender, juicy and grilled to perfection. Nothing tastes better than crisp lettuce, extremely fresh and a perfect combination with the juicy chicken breast, beef bacon and fried egg. I was very happy with my meal. Slightly expensive but it's tasty and just the right portion after a heavy breakfast. 

On the other hand, my partner keep stealing my food because mine taste better than his! His fried rice doesn't taste spicy to me at all and I don't really enjoy his food. Before we had our meal, they offer complimentary bread and butter but we couldn't finish it because the bread was flaky and hard. It would be better if it's warm and soft.

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...
