Basically, we had a makan-makan tour around KK town. Started from 9am in the morning till around 5pm, nothing more than shop, talk, eat, and drink! In fact, no much picture of ourselves. Most of them (should i say all) are photos of the food we had!
1. Fook Yuen
Fook Yuen is easily found in KK town. It is situated next to Old Town in KK Town. We visited this modern kopitiam of Fook Yuen.
As for Teh C, that's the usual Teh Ais in Peninsular Malaysia but less sweet.
RM2.30 for each of these.
Roti Kahwin. I insisted to have breakfast in Fook Yuen due to the highly recommended Roti Kahwin. Anyway, this is just steamed white bread with kaya and butter. >.< Still....DELICIOUS~
RM1.30 for each set. (picture shows 2 sets of it)
Besides this outlet, we also visited the main outlet of Fook Yuen for tea. It was packed with people! The only difference between East and West Malaysia is that, kopitiam in every edge of KK is packed with people in the evening, during tea time. (3-5pm). They enjoy traditional kopi, toast and a group of friends chatting in the kopitiam. We were shocked to see coffee shops all packed with people in the evening. Anyway, that's the culture. Make yourselves into the old classic coffee shops and enjoy the sound, taste, scent, and faces of KK evening.
2. Suria Sabah.
We walked to Suria Sabah, which is around 5 minutes from Fook Yuen. Suria Sabah is one of the latest shopping mall in KK. So, it's shopping time!!!! Woohoo. Suria Sabah has TGV cinema and KTV as well. Anyway, you wont want to spend your holidays doing things you can do back in Peninsular Malaysia.
3. KK Plaza
Next, KK Plaza for Har Mee. A local recommended us to this claimed to the authentic Penang Har Mee. It was on the 3rd floor if I remember it correctly. Anyway, to get there, just follow the direction food court. It's right in front of the escalator and elevator. You will never miss it.
Penang Har Mee!
The reason we traveled to KK Plaza. Anyway, probably because we were in KK eating Penang Har Mee, it didnt taste the same although it claimed to be authentically from Penang.
Kuey Teow Soup was ok too. Just OK.
RM5.50 for each bowl
3. Warisan Square
Warisan Square is also good for shopping. It is more like street shopping in KK.
4. Yoyo cafe
Yoyo cafe can be easily found around KK town. basically, they are not really cafes. Most of them are kiosk selling bubble tea. A local claimed it is better than Chatime. Anyway, in terms of variety, Chatime wins. But in terms of taste, based on the Pearl Milk Tea we had that day, I would say, the tea was smooth, and the pearl was good. There are some cheap Pearl Milk Tea sold out there with uncooked pearl, but for Yoyo cafe, I would say cheap and good! @RM3.80
5. Filipino Market
Locals advice: Do not enter. Nothing much than just handicrafts made by Filipino. This place can be very dangerous and the locals do not have trust in these Filipinos. Most importantly, BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS.
So, we didnt dare to enter. All locals told us to keep out of that place. We only look from far. >.<
You can spend a day shopping in KK town. Just walk around the town. Everything is within walking distance. Great place for backpackers.
It was almost time for sunset. Everyone awaits for the beautiful sunset. It was gorgeous. The best view? From Hyatt Regency. Anyway, you can sit somewhere near Hyatt. While enjoying sunset, you can also count the number of airplanes landing and departing from KKIA.
As for night life in KK, you can find a whole row of pub at the waterfront, right opposite Warisan Square. Besides pub, they do have restaurants serving western and local food too. We had Ampang Yong Tau Foo that night and it tasted very much like those from Ampang. Finally, something that carries the exact taste from Peninsular.
If you are craving for seafood, there's no good seafood at reasonable price in KK. The famous Ocean View Seafood is overpriced! Local's advice; "Never enter unless you are really rich."
Anyway, we didnt managed to climb mount KK, visit the hot spring, travel to Kudat to visit the Borneo's most north tip and water rafting. I would visit KK for more of these excitements!!
As for food, Lime Juice and Iced Lemon Tea is common in KK. They served with lemon and not lime for Iced Lemon Tea unlike in Peninsular where lime is used in Teh O Ais Limau! Iced lemon tea are available in kopitiam too, at regular price. Lemons are cheaper in KK?
