Conversations on eating and drinking in Malaysia often surround West Malaysia. KL, Penang, Melaka\u2026 the usual suspects. But just a flight away are food destinations that rival their counterparts across the pond, and the East Malaysia food trail should start at none other than Kota Kinabalu, the state capital of Sabah. The city\u2019s diverse gastronomic options offer many opportunities for both the casual traveller and ravishing foodie to have their fill. From fresh out-of-the-water seafood to exquisite Western fare, the <\/span>best restaurants in Kota Kinabalu<\/span> will satisfy every appetite.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Best Restaurants In Kota Kinabalu<\/span><\/h2>\n

As a coastal city, KK has a steady supply of fresh <\/span>seafood<\/span><\/a> at affordable prices. But there\u2019s also a vibrant F&B culture that spans different cuisines.<\/span><\/p>\n

A well-known haunt among locals and tourists (likely to the annoyance of aforementioned locals), Welcome Seafood Restaurant is packed with crowded tables and hungry patrons ready to pounce on empty seats. As one of the <\/span>best restaurants in Kota Kinabalu<\/span>, you can expect a full house as early as 5pm. Its popularity speaks volumes about the quality of seafood here, which you can pick and choose from clear glass fish tanks. Try the Steamed Prawn to taste the crustacean in its purest form or Kam Hiong Crab to perk up the taste buds.<\/span><\/p>\n

A beloved Cantonese restaurant below a dilapidated hotel, Fatt Kee\u2019s fare is hearty, unpretentious, and refreshingly reasonable. Dinner favourites like succulent sweet and sour shrimp and tangy <\/span>sambal <\/span><\/i>kangkung<\/span><\/i><\/a> are on the menu, but its signature <\/span>oyster sauce<\/span><\/a> chicken wings are a must-order. If you\u2019re looking for the <\/span>best food in Kota Kinabalu<\/span> that even locals don\u2019t mind lining up for, Fatt Kee is a reliable choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The egg tarts here are popular too, often selling out in a matter of hours.

For most tourists, the <\/span>best food in Kota Kinabalu<\/span> is a bowl of authentic <\/span>laksa<\/span><\/i> courtesy of Kedai Kopi Yee Fung. Arguably the most drool-worthy laksa in all of KK is found at this unassuming coffee shop. Slurp on a bowl of tantalising broth topped with shredded chicken, boiled shrimp, <\/span>sambal<\/span><\/i><\/a>, and <\/span>lime<\/span><\/a>. Then wash it all down with a Teh Maderas, a decadent frothy concoction of <\/span>milk tea<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>evaporated milk<\/span><\/a>. Be quick to make way though. The place is always packed during peak hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nestled within a row of shop lots in downtown KK is Chilli Vanilla, a cosy restaurant for authentic Hungarian food. Don\u2019t skip the Beef Goulash, Meat Stew, and Chicken Paprikash, all of which are traditional Hungarian dishes. There\u2019s also a good selection of cakes and drinks to complete your meal. We heard that the <\/span>chocolate<\/span><\/a> brownies are fudgy, rich, and downright sinful. Sounds like a very, very good brownie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Often bustling with commotion during lunch, it\u2019s one of the <\/span>best Indian restaurants in Kota Kinabalu<\/span> and the spread here is generous. You\u2019ll get three to four servings of vegetables, a scoop of rice, crunchy<\/span> papadam<\/span><\/i><\/a>, and your protein of choice (lamb, fish or chicken).

Ngiu chap<\/span><\/i>, which literally means \u201cmixed beef\u201d, is a hearty noodle that\u2019s served with a combination of <\/span>beef<\/span><\/a> meat and innards. At Kah Hiong Ngiu Chap, the dish can be served without innards if you feel squeamish. Just replace them with beef balls or other ingredients. The broth goes through hours of boiling to create a rich flavour, which the <\/span>noodles<\/span><\/a> then soak up perfectly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Klang<\/span><\/a> may claim to have the best <\/span>bak kut teh<\/span><\/i> in the country, but KK\u2019s rendition isn\u2019t too shabby at all. Yu Kee Bak Kut Teh is undoubtedly the <\/span>best BKT restaurant in Kota Kinabalu<\/span>, courting even the interest of tourists from China and Hong Kong. The soup is rich but not overpowering, so you can easily finish a bowl by yourself. For choice of protein, it\u2019s practically impossible to fault the rib or knuckle. Both are crowd-pleasers because of how tender they are.<\/span><\/p>\n
