KK Markets/ Tanjung Aru Beach: Hawker Food.
by copthat
The Hawker food we tried at both KK market next to Wharf area and at Tanjung Aru beach area was fantastic. Cooked fresh in front of you it was unbelievable. And so cheap, u could have rice or noodles, soup, honey basted chicken wings/ fresh corn all for about 3 - 4 aussie dollars. The hawker centres are full of locals and u become the tourist attraction. Everyone is friendly and so helpful. We ate nearly every night at the centres and never once got crook. So give it a go.
At the Tanjung Beach area the fresh corn on the cob was the best. I think from memory, 40 cents. At the KK market, they have this batter with veges and chicken inside that they cook in front of you and serve with chilli sauce. Not sure what is was called but you cannot miss them. They cost about 70cents.They also sell a sweet bread made with batter, sugar and crushed peanuts...beautiful.
