I have always liked visiting Kota Kinabalu and just recently I was there to attend a meeting on Forest Plantation Development organized by MTIB.
The meeting was held at the Le Meridien Hotel.one of the many upmarket hotel in KK. I love the room, large and comfortable with view of the Sutera Harbour and South China Sea. Eating in Kota Kinabalu was really great with many choices…I had lunch at the Kinabalu Golf Club where I played nine holes with my friend Hj Nissanto and two other club members, I had beef mee-hun soup there. Tasted okay but the restaurant didn’t have chilli padi! The golf game ended prematurely with persistent rain in the afternoon but nevertheless I got three pars in 9 holes, that’s okay.
In the evening me and Nissanto have dinner at the Tanjung Aru food-courts where we have varieties of sea-food like ikan-bakar, sotong, udang and ketam and only cost RM 32 for all of that!
Next day was the important meeting that lasted about four hours. After the meeting which ended at 1.30 pm, I walked to the fish markets nearby..not sure if it was a fish market or just a fish landing facility managed by Sabah Fish Marketing Sdn Bhd (SAFMA). There were some fishing boats unloading their catch but mostly small fish! Beside the fish market there was the Philippine market..selling mostly souvenirs items, there was also the Pasar Ikan Masin for those bilis lovers and those large Kurau salted fish. Pasar Buah was also nearby…I didn’t buy anything, the Terubuk Masin was too expensive as compared to price in Satok, Kuching, Sarawak.
I took a taxi (RM 30) to the airport at 4 pm and spent the time at the airport lounge, Well…it was just a short trip and my flight back to KLIA was at 1735 hrs….can’t wait to play golf at Nilai Spring tomorrow!
