Teppan-Yaki Kozan (Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort & Spa) - Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

-
We decided to have our dinner at Teppan-Yaki Kozan on our first night at Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort & Spa. There's two options for you to choose from - either dine inside the restaurant watching the chefs in action (chef grills various cuts of seafood, meat and vegetables over a large iron hotplate (teppan) in front of the customer) or take a table on the terrace (open air).

When we reached there at 6pm, tables on the terrace were all fully booked for the day and they only left the dine in restaurant for 6.30pm slot. After some hesitation, we agreed to take the 6.30pm slot. We were seated at a Teppanyaki counter and the chef was right in front of us demonstrating his cooking skill. They have limited menu and you can either ordered their Teppanyaki set menu or a la carte dishes.

We ordered one Akita set and two a la carte dishes. If you are a small eater, basically one Akita set is enough for 2 person. Overall taste wasn't impressive at all and this is the most expensive teppanyaki that we ever had. Our sea bass tasted bland and same goes for the garlic fried rice. However, Australian Black Angus Beef was good and cooked to perfection like what we wanted - medium well without any blood. Apart from that King prawn was fresh and succulent.

Initially, we added an a la carte garlic fried rice but half way dining we decided to cancelled it since we started feeling a bit full. Instead of cancelling our order, they gave us a complimentary garlic rice! Restaurant staff were very friendly and attentive. They even gave a birthday surprise to one of the customer by singing him a birthday song and presenting him a slice of cake with a single lit candle.

Jollibee is a Filipino multinational chain of fast food restaurants. On the day of arrival, we asked our friendly Grab driver what is the must-try food in Philippines and he mentioned Jollibee. So here we at Jollibee located inside Landmark Department Store just 4 minutes (250m) walking distance from  New World Makati Hotel . We ordered 2 pieces of chicken served with rice and drink. Rice is soft. Fried chicken is crispy, flavourful and tender. It comes together with a brown gravy which taste like KFC mashed potatoes gravy. Overall it's good.
