When we arrived at the restaurant at 7p.m., there were already a lot of people there. My friend Peter Koh who is one of the captains saw us and gave us the table he was sitting on which was nearest to the counter.
Funny enough Peter asked Adam whether he wanted to use chopsticks and of course he answered in the affirmative.
I ordered the following food with the help from Peter.
1. Deermeat with Ginger and Shallots
2. Veges ('Sayur Manis') with 'Belacan' and chilli
3. Poached Prawns
4. Wet Butter Crabs
Adam commented that Peter's husky voice sounded like the chinese version of James Earl Jones. Haha
The food came out according to the list I ordered.
The deermeat was tender and not too oily. The veges were not too spicy hot but tasty and crunchy. The prawns were very fresh and of the right size, not too big and not too small. The crabs were mind blowing and left Adam speechless. How can something taste that GOOD?
All throughout the nearly two hours we were there, there were so many people until some latecomers had to queue up and wait for tables to be available. So many people were staring at us and admiring the Wet Butter Crabs and asked the waiters/waitresses passing by what the dish was called.
After Adam put out the ‘white flag’ I was still eating away and people were staring even more but I could not care less and finished the crabs.
Towards the end we saw a gentleman coming out from the air-conditioned room and stood quite near us. That was when Adam could not resist but to say that he is no longer the ‘giant’ in Kota Kinabalu. Someone else is bigger size than him.
(When I showed my colleague NE the photos of Adam the previous time when he was here, she nicknamed him ‘giant’)
Before we left, we were served the complimentary plate of fruits consisting of papayas and watermelon. Adam ate mainly the papayas while I ate mainly the watermelon.
The fantastic meal came to RM80 and Adam thought it was rather cheap. He thought it would have cost double that amount.
After converting the RM80 to pounds, he said he would normally only able to have sandwiches in London for that amount of money but we were feasting like kings here.
Well, mate you should make your trip here an annual affair ... *grin*
