Mango Garden @ Rumah terbalik Sabah

Was googling for food in Kota Kinabalu and stumble upon this place call rumah terbalik.( upsite down  house). Very interesting place, where everything here is upsite down.

Mango garden is located next to rumah terbalik.

Nice place with good service.

Basically I ordered most of the chef recommended food. Even though I am alone. Wanted to try a few of their dishes like Manuk Tinapah, grilled chicken but sadly ran out of stocks

     Hinava Sada( RM 7.50)

Started with a dish call Hinava Sada, a very popular dish originated from the Kadazan Dusun Tribes. Hinava Sada is made of freshly raw fish fillet marinated in lime , shallots , ginger, sliced chilli and Badu( wild mango seeds). This is a must order dish. It's really appetizing, the fish were very fresh. Sourish with a tingling spiciness 

     Tahau Miampai Daging Salai( RM      10.50)

Tahau Miampai Daging Salai, grilled sliced beef marinated with Tahau( local ginger stem pickles), chili, lime lemongrass and herbs. The pickles was eaten together with the meat, I find that the meat was very tough. Flavor wise is not bad, the pickles did help alot in making the whole dish better. 

Spying Bakar Masak Sambal Tomato( RM 12.50)

Barbecue marinated squire topped with sweet and spicy tomato Sambal and onion. Another favorite dish of Bajau Ubiqn tribes. I find it so so only , the squid was over barbecue till it become very gamy. Taste wise nothing shout about.

    Kok Daeng Masak Timbul ( RM 10.50)1

Last but not least Kok Daeng Masak Timbul. Fresh fish head cooked in refreshing fish broth with tamarind, lemon grass, onion and local herbs. Another famous soup dish of the Bajau Ubian tribe). The soup was good, very light and refreshing. Fish was very fresh and generous amount

Overall I find that most of the dish was at the sour side. If you are not a fan our sour dishes probably can stay away from the dishes I ordered. An interesting experience dishing on local Sabah food.

Latte Mei @ Berjaya Time Square Imbi

I

Googling about good in Berjaya time square, then I found this place Latte Mei. Latte Mei originally from Taiwan came to Malaysia few years back. Since I am here I thought I give it a try. It's located at the first floor.

Tiny little shop hidden in a corner. 

Order their famous signature cream green tea. 

Comes with a little cute cutter to open the side of the cover, the boss told is for me to sip the salty caramel.

Tada.. I cut open the little corner. Take a sip and its kinda salty and creamy. Compare to gongcha, I think gongcha, fares way better. The design is way better, easier to mix both the cream and green tea.

I won't not come back for this green tea probably I will try their malt tea next round

Ben's @ Publika

After a comforting dinner in Silver Spoon we move our way to Ben's for dessert. Ben's is under the wing of Big Group who owns quite a number of famous restaurants like Plan B, Ben's General Food Store, Hit and Mrs, Beast etc.

    Pretty bride to be and I .

       Coconut Cake (RM 10.00)

  Mango lychee Cheese cake ( RM 14.00)

    Classic Chocolate Cake( RM 14.00)

Overall only the classic chocolate cake is worth mentioning. Forget about ordering the other two.

Silver Spoon @ Publika

Celebrating my BFF bachelorette night in Silver Spoon Publika. I visited Silver Spoon numerous time. The ambient and the food was great. Perfect for a date night with love ones or even gathering with friends

        Baked   Escargot ( RM 26.00)

Fantastic backed escargot in garlic herb butter sauce. The buttery herb sauce was perfect with baquette. I like to have a few more pieces escargot with it. A must order. 

        Portabello Mushroom( RM15.00)

Another dishes I wouldn't miss out here's is the baked portabello mushroom stuffed with herbs. It's come's in a set of two portabello mushroom. Was kind of disappointed with the mushroom size this  round. Normally the mushroom was bigger than today. But it still taste awesome. There's  only two places that I like the way they serve the mushroom, here and Jarrod  and Rawlins.

       Caesar Salad ( RM 18.00)

A huge disspointment, please don't order this. The tandoori chicken in it was terrible, soggy and dry. Nothing seems right about this salad.

     Capellini Aglio Olio ( RM 28.00)

Shredded duck confit with basil and semi dry tomatoes in olio style. Most of the time you will never go wrong with Aglio style pasta. Capellini was at the right texture, taste wise, like I say you will never go wrong with any olio. The duck confit part , I can't really tell if its a duck confit or not.

      Rack of Lamb( RM 48.00)

Served with mashed sweet potato, garlic lamb juice and crips of chocolate coated garlic. We ordered this cook medium, taste wise I find it special, the texture of the lamb was ok, kinda on the tough side, price at rm 48, I think is quite ok. The mashed sweet potato was a creative idea. The crispy chocolate coated garlic was good. I never know that garlic can go so well with chocolate.

       Oriental  Duck Pizza ( RM 29.00)

After been here so many times, I find their dishes can be slightly inconsistent. The oriental duck pizza today was ok only. The based was not crispy enough. Normally they do it better than this. Ok let's talk about the taste wise.Oriental duck pizza is like a east meet west taste. Kinda exquisite, either you like it or you don't. It's a sweet based pizza due to the onions and pears and also the hoisin sauce. So if you are not an onion lover don't order ,if not  you be busy picking out the onions

Overall, I still recommend this place. Reasonable price and good ambients for hangout and also dating.

Oh ya they stopped serving free sky juice. Now if you want water they only come in bottle mineral water.

Renoma Cafe Gallery @ Jalan Delima

Lazying on a public holiday. I decided to pay a visit to Renoma cafe gallery. Situated on the main road facing prince court hospital. 

I love their design, very artistic, and modern. I love the ambients here, quiet and not crowded.

Virgin piña colada only rm 7. Superbly good

Complimentary bread and truffle butter. Tasty,the truffle butter was lovely. 

Caesar salad with air dried beef. The salad was very good. Poach egg added the extra oomph on it.

The main course squid in spaghetti with smoked duck. It was superb. The squid ink pasta was cook perfectly. The ink enchanced the taste of the whole pasta. Smoked duck was pan fry just perfectly. I love this so much.

Overall the experience with this cafe was great. I will definitely drop by to try their other dishes. Service here was fantastic.
