This is a nice chill out bar when we went there for post run celebration drinks. The Boss was very friendly and he talked to us for a while.

Was recommended to me by an Australian Yachtie that we met while here, very busy and sometimes we had to stand and stalk a table and pounce when someone left. Food was great They do have an english menu but the best stuff appears is written on the wall in

I already enjoy Fatty Kee's foods 20 years ago. Famous with its economy rice during lunch time. And always full with people during dinner time, need to be patient to wait for seating. As a local, I always come before 6pm to have seat. Most of the dishes are very delicious such as chicken wing, fried rice, assam fish, fried pork leg ....worth to try.

By far the biggest outlet for seafood in Kota Kinabalu however heavily catering tourists only. It is not the best seafood, nor the biggest selection or pricing. It mass caters to chinese or korean market who value quantoty over quality. Walk a few steps further in the complex to find a multitude of smaller shops with better offering. Also recommend the seafood-malay style next to the waterfront

Too much curry powder in Laksa broth kinda made it more touristy than it should. Local couple sharing table said this is Kuching style but Singaporean and West M’sian laksa are better. We agreed. Also had wanton noodles - broth is decent and plenty of wanton but yellow noodle not wanton noodles brought it down a notch. All in, not worth the trouble to try.

We both ordered steaks, they were excellent. The experience was let down somewhat by the chef not interacting really, maybe he was not confident in English tho so not worth complaining about. We had a rare steak and a well done, both were cooked to perfection. The vegetables were very tasty. I would have expected the jasmine tea to be loose leaf tea and not a tea bag, that was a shame.Alcohol is expensive. Dear susan2909, Thank you for your review of your recent stay with us at the Rasa Ria Resort. I am glad that you have enjoyed your meal and will be addressed with our team to improve the overall dining experience.We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.Regards,Roger

Within the Shangri-La’s complex so expect their pricing. But with this caveat, had their set meal - very good food and a decent set of tapas style dishes that in total is also a good quantity. Very good service. Whilst not cheap this was reasonable value overall as included a drink and desert and the variety of dishes. They also swapped out some dishes as I did not like one of the options.

Well it was ok but it's only at the top of Trip Adviser because it is relatively cheap and yet hygienically safe. I had rice with chicken, sesame and orange. I could not taste the sesame but orange with chicken is a brilliant combo. The trouble is I felt lots of chicken bits were parts I would never normally eat. I classify it under emergency hungry and it was quite good but depressingly spartan.
