    After your bargain shopping at Sunday Gaya Street Market, fill your stomach with a bowl of Sabah Laksa. In Malaysia, there's a variety of laksa or curry noodle. The variation is simply good.

    I find this Sabah Laksa not so spicy nor creamy with coconut milk but has a tinge of sourness. It's quite different from the usual curry laksa with cockles & fried beancurd. It has some peppermint leaves as topping.

    This place is in the food court of the Wisma Merderk building/shopping centre.

    There are 2 ways to get food,

    1/ get a plate of rice and serve your self - you get charged according to what you take

    2/ Order a set dish.

    Both are really cheap. The food is tasty, filling and satisfying

    Coffee to go at the airport (airside) is great if due to the bad timing of flights, to check in you had to miss a meal.

    This little place is great, has a good range of food and unlike most airport cafe's is reasonably priced.

    At 8am I had the Curry Mee (a curry soup with veg, chicken, noodles and tofo) very nice it was too.

    European food is available as well as asian.

    This is the way to eat.

    Its good, sooo cheap and fun too.

    The night market here is food and seafood - direct from the trawlers so the fish is really fresh.

    The people also set up food stalls where you pick your fish, they finish cooking it, you sit down and eat with the locals. Rice is provided as well. Really good food. Also available is Sate and chicken wings. The chicken wings are a must, they are messy to eat but well worth it.

    The seafood here is so fresh that you generally pick your own from tanks, yes its still alive, and you can taste the freshness.

    There are a few restaurants here, take your pick.

    The seafood is great, so fresh and I mean fresh, and really good.

    Its well worth a visit

    The food here is wonderful, I got the tip myself from VT and went. The locals eat here as well.

    If you want to go here, I would suggest go early, as at main meal times it gets crowded.

    I went back.

    The BBQ Australian steaks with Fresh Prawns are mouthwatering at the Pirates bar in the corner of KK Waterfront. The beah style island bar is a sure fire winner with efficent service and is a favoutite with sailors and visitors from around the world

    1 inch T - Bone Steak,
    The steak was tender and served with a side salad and jacket potatoe as a heathy option, it size meant that the medium rare option allowd the inside to be rare

    Food Court at top floor of 1 BORNEO shoping complex. After shoping I guessed most tourists will eat here. To purchase the food/drinks, need to purchase the coupons from the counter (see attached photo) and any excess refundable.

    We ordered some juices, Japanese sushi, HK noodles and HALAL lok lok (See attached photo). The sushi was ok, the noodles was delicious but unfortunately the lok lok crab meat sticks was not fresh! Luckily after complained, was compensated with another bowl without the crab meat.
