The most authentic guide to Kota Kinabalu! Avoid stepping on landmines! You Kee Bak Kut Teh, Fu Yuan Tea Restaurant, Seafood It's really ordinary and not delicious at all... Please don't have any expectations The Municipal Mosque is still under repair. I took a taxi there to take some photos. You can take photos outside, but I think it's okay. It doesn't matter whether you go or not. The most popular item at the night market is fruit, but it’s not particularly tasty. I didn’t see anything else I wanted to eat… I chose to go to Sapi for island hopping... It's just a small island with a lot of tourists. It's not as beautiful as I imagined. I regret not buying a boat ticket to Huantan Island in advance. It should be much more beautiful. You can just buy the ticket on the day of going to the nearby island. 🌟Recommended restaurants The laksa at Yifeng Tea House and the jelly rice at Yuan Tea House are delicious👍🏻 #Kota Kinabalu

This is a place that sells Malaysian rice noodles in seafood broth = Laksa! It's a place that Koreans always visit when they travel, so it was the last place we went to before going back to Korea 🙂 It's so popular that there was a waiting line as soon as we got there! But the turnover was fast, so we were able to get in and eat right away! While waiting, the staff gave us a menu and let us choose from the menu in advance and order. The menu is very diverse, but since it was my first time eating Laksa, I ordered a variety of things because I was worried it might not suit my taste! We had A1 shrimp laksa and beef rice noodles and beef pot rice ㅎㅎ When I first ate the shrimp laksa, the broth tasted like something I had never tasted before. It was unique and rich, but creamy and, contrary to my worries, it really suited my taste 🤣 In fact, the beef rice noodles tasted better at Yuitcheong than here.. The pot rice tasted burnt, but it was sweet and salty, so it was delicious ( ◡̉̈ ) 📍Lee Pung Laksa ▫️06:30-17:00 (Closed on Tue, Wed) ▫️Card payment available #March travel support event #Kota Kinabalu travel #Overseas travel

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 #Malaysia #Sabah Although you have to queue, the turnover rate is high, so you don't have to wait too long to get a seat. There is no air conditioning in the store. It is recommended to come early. If you eat at noon, you may get heat stroke. 🍝Must-try Laksa King The coconut milk soup has a strong spice flavor, smooth and milky, rich ingredients, including shredded chicken, fried tofu, and three fresh prawns 🍚Claypot Chicken Rice ~ It looks like black burnt rice. It doesn’t look good, but the rice is full of chicken juice and is very tasty. I personally think it tastes better than laksa.

#winhkflight 📍Yee Fung Laksa 127, Jalan Gaya, Pusat Bandar Kota Kinabalu, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Visited this famous restaurant that serves laksa in Kota Kinabalu and they never disappoint! We were there post lunch hours, so it was not crowded, and the serving of food was fast and efficiently quick! There are a lot of tables and chairs in store, and it is an open area restaurant, thus it was very airy and breezy during our visit. Specialising in laksa, the laksa was delicious and flavourful! The broth was thick and creamy, vermecilli was indeed a great vehicle to soak up the broth, such a mouthful of goodness! I wish to travel to Hong Kong for the food!

A must-eat in Sabah is Yee Feng Tea House, which serves laksa, beef offal, wontons, fish balls, etc., local delicacies with a Southeast Asian flavor. There is a Chinese menu, so don’t worry, the soup base of the noodles is very good. It costs about RM10 per person, which is very affordable. In addition, Hainanese chicken rice, bak kut teh, gaya toast, etc. are also must-eats in Malaysia. The flavor of Sabah is a little different from that of Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, so be sure to try it. Of course, when you come to a country near the sea, island hopping and enjoying the sea view are also a must. #Malaysia #Sabah #Must-eat in Sabah #Sabah Specialties #Yifeng Tea House #Hainanese Chicken Rice #Bak Kut Teh #Island Hopping

This restaurant has competitive pricing for their food and drinks, no wondering there are always a lot of customers. Hope they continue to offer value for money delicious meals. Due to the close arrangements of tables and the huge number of customers especially during peak hours and weekends, it might seems a bit crowded and stuffy. For the food portion given, not that much but ok la for the price.#deliciousfood #foodie

Nice food at Yee Gung Laksa at Gaya Street

In the old street of Gaya in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, there is a tea room from 1984 to the present, Yifeng Tea Room. There is no air conditioning in the tea room. It is hot, but from the outside to the inside, the indoor diners are full, it can be said that it is plus A restaurant with the most diners on the old street. It is said that the Yifeng Tea Room is very capricious and will take breaks from time to time, but the rest dates will be hanged in the store. The frequent diners will know the situation, but for tourists, they can eat Yifeng when they are playing in Kota Kinabalu. . The laksa and beef powder in the first and second places in the Yifeng tea room menu are almost every table. The curry soup of Lisha is rich in coconut milk; the beef powder soup is fresh and sweet, and the beef is delicious; the shovel and garlic are mixed with oyster sauce to get lettuce, and the layered taste is like the elf jumping on the tip of the tongue. . Winter melon tea is the most famous in the Yifeng tea room, and the small freshness that has not been seen in the country - Tie Sha pear juice is especially worth a try. Lemon tea ice makes the hot afternoon become refreshing. To Kota Kinabalu, the Yifeng Tea Room is worth eating.
