Restaurant Lima Utara

Image
It was first day of Chinese New Year and this year, instead of having home-cooked meals we decided to eat out at a restaurant. My favourite Thai Restaurant  Sabai Dee Cafe  was closed for Chinese New Year. Hence, we ended up at Restaurant Lima Utara. We reached there around 6pm and only a few tables were occupied. We ordered 6 dishes and total bill came to roughly RM 229 which was pretty expensive for me. My favourite dish of the night were the steamed clam with Thai sauce and Thai style steamed fish. Both dishes were spicy and sour. An appetizing dish for everyone. However, soft shell crab and clay pot tofu tasted a bit bland for me. Apart from that, d eep fried catfish was crispy but lacking flavour. My partner likes their  Kung po mantis shrimp but I find it so-so. As of now,  Sabai Dee Cafe  still my preferred Thai Restaurant in Jitra... (Price shown below including GST 6%) Restaurant Lima Utara Soft shell crab - RM 19.08 ...

89 Station - Kundasang, Sabah

Image
89 Station is located not far from  Kinabalu Park entrance  (just 2 minutes drive). Basically, there's not much selection of Chinese food in Kundasang. Hence, two nights in a row we had our dinner here. Service was really good and prompt on the first evening. However on the second evening, service was slow and they kept forgetting my drink even though I have reminded them at least four times. Apart from that, they missed out one of our order. Overall food tasted average except sweet & sour chicken and marmite chicken. Sweet & sour chicken tasted bland and lack of flavours. The worst dish was marmite chicken because it doesn't taste like marmite chicken at all and it's full of chicken fats instead of meat. Besides that, I was quite disappointed with the bak kut teh dish because they only served it with plenty of meat balls and only few slices of lean meat. The dish that I enjoyed most was the sweet corn soup. Perfect bowl to keep warm in cold weather. Total bill...

A trip to Kundasang won't be complete without visiting Desa Dairy Farm. We checked out from Kinabalu Pine Resort  around 11am and drove to Desa Dairy Farm on our last day. It took us around 20 minutes to reach there. Beautiful farm view with amazing scenery. However, it was a cloudy day and the clouds shrouded the peak of Mt. Kinabalu. Vehicles entering the farm must pass through a wheel dip at the entrance to prevent infections through biosecurity measures. Visitors have to walk / step on the foot bath before entering the calf pen as well.
