Urban Kitchen (Hilton Kota Kinabalu) - Sabah

-
It was Christmas day and for once we decided to go for buffet dinner. Urban Kitchen located on the ground floor of Hilton Hotel, Kota Kinabalu was having this buffet dinner promotion for 2 person at the price of RM 118. We made reservation for 2 person one day earlier and to our disappointment when we reached there, they were unable to find our names in their reservation list. Luckily they still have seats available but we were not seated in the main dining area. Instead we were put in a small room beside the restaurant.

Buffet dinner starts at 6.30pm till 10.30pm. Urban Kitchen serves Indian, Chinese, Malay and modern western dishes. Since it's Christmas, they serves Turkey meat as well. There's two section serving similar food and basically the choices were quite limited. Apart from that, they only serves hot drinks and plain water. If you prefer other drinks you would have to pay for the extra charges. My favourite dish of the night was the beef curry. Beef was tender and curry was packed with flavour.

We ended our buffet dinner with dessert and ice cream. There's variety of desserts but none of them were my favourites. The only dessert that I enjoyed most was the marshmallow dipped in chocolate. Overall, both of us were not impressed by neither the food nor the service.

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...
