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.

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.
