Nasi Lemak @ Restoran Sri Rahmat - Segama

A Malaysian breakfast favourite today of nasi lemak from Restoran Sri Rahmat. It's my first time today at this popular, central eatery serving a wide range of Malaysian food. There's quite a few breakfast options with quite possibly the cheapest laksa in town, watch this space people! But today nasi lemak took my fancy, coconut and pandan infused rice served with boiled egg, cucumber slices, tasty sambal, peanuts, ikan bilis, green veggie and a small but very yummy piece of rendang ayam. I left a very happy and satisfied orang, ready to tackle the day!
 

Restoran Sri Rahmat is located in the Segama shoplots, next door to Texas Grill.

 

The Bill : 1x Nasi Lemak, 1x Teh Tarik Sejuk = 4.80 MYR

Restoran Sri Rahmat serving lots of Malay favourites!

Booze & Pizza @ Bitz n' Pizzas - Marlin Roundabout

It wasn't so long ago that this restaurant was called Luigi Malones, it was open for a short while, then closed, refurbished, and then reopened with the new name of Bitz n' Pizzas. The menu is slightly different but the pizza is the same great taste, so I'm slightly confused about the name change?!? But hey, the pizza's tasty so who cares!

We decided to order a large pepperoni to share, I can only describe the pizza base as unique as I havn't eaten anything like it before, well apart from at Luigi Malones! It's light thin and crispy, just how I like a pizza base, topped with tomato sauce cheese and pepperoni, yummy!

We also ordered a side of fries, crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle with a good helping of salt.

On a hot sunny afternoon, sometimes only a beer will do! Or 2 or 3 possibly!!!

Bitz n' Pizzas is located along the promenade at the 'marlin roundabout'.

The Bill : 1x Large Pizza, 1x Fries, 6 Glass Tiger, 2 Glass Water = 101.15 MYR

Great pizza and ice cold beer, I can think of worse ways to start the weekend!

Roti Kobra @ Restoran Maimunah - Segama

Roti Kobra with a twist (well for me anyway) as I had beef curry instead of my usual choice of chicken. I've eaten at this mamak stall before, and looking at the sign I think it's the same owners as Mainumaah Food Corner located at Api - Api Centre, even though the spellings are completely different, the sign is identical!?! Mmmm I wonder! Anyway enough of that, back to the food, the roti was nice and chewy with crispy bits and the sunny side up was perfectly cooked. The beef curry was meaty and had a nicey spicy curry kick! Ah the simple things, I do love roti kobra!
 

Restoran Maimunah is located at Segama along Jalan Tun Razak.

The Bill : 1x Roti Kobra, 1x Teh Tarik Ping = 7 MYR

A great mamak stall in the heart of KK!

Nasi Char Siu @ Wiya Nasi Ayam Dan Kedai Kopi - Downtown

Wiya Nasi Ayam Dan Kedai Kopi maybe more famous for their chicken but today I thought I'd give their char siu a try. Absolutely no complaints from me over this decision! The BBQ pork was lovely and sweet with nice pieces of fat intermingled with the delicious sliced meat. Wiya's legendary 'pyramid rice' was served along side a bowl of soup. I have to say that a fantastic lunch is pretty much guaranteed here!

Wiya Chicken Rice is located downtown on the front side of Segama shoplots.

The Bill : 1x Nasi Char Siu, 1x Chinese Teh Ping = 6.50MYR

Join the throngs of happy diners @ Wiya's!

Pizza Pasta @ Luigi Malones - Marlin Roundabout

We've been meaning to try Luigi Malone's for some time now, as we were in the area we decided to pop in for their great value, lunchtime menu.

I picked one of the pasta options, Meatball Spaghetti. Perfectly cooked spaghetti in a tasty tomato sauce. My only grumble would have to be the 'meatballs' I should have looked at the menu more carefully as the meat used was chicken, I would have much preferred beef, but hey, thats my fault! Also the meat wasn't in 'balls' exactly more like a patty cut into squares. But at this price there's no real complaint! The pasta came with lettuce, a piece of bruschetta and a sprinkling of parmesan.

Vegetariana Pizza for The Little Nibbler, no grumbles here at all!!! A lovely thin crust pizza, quite different to any other pizza base we've tasted in KK. Topped with tomatoes, onions and peppers, oh and lets not forget lovely, gooey cheese. "A really fresh tasting pizza" said The Nibbler, happily.

Kitchai Ping and Coke Light for drinks.

There's something for everyone on Luigi's Lunch Menu.

Luigi Malone's is located along Jalan Tun Fuad Stephen on the Marlin Roundabout, opposite The Hyatt. The special lunch menu is available everyday of the week, luckily for us, on bank holidays too!

The Bill : 2x Luigi's Lunch = 22 MYR

Luigi's gets my vote for delicious lunchtime pizza!
Already looking forward to my next visit!!!

Local & Western Food @ Upperstar Cafe @ Bar - Segama

Upperstar seems to have something for everyone, so it's a great place to go to when you just can't decide what you want to eat! Normally for me it's the Chicken Curry but today I thought I'd try something different, the Malaysian Delight. Ok so I know it also includes chicken curry, but hey, I like Upperstar's chicken curry!!! Along with said curry you also get a couple of chicken satay sticks and a chicken wing. I was a little disappointed because on the menu it definitely looks like a portion of nasi goreng is included, but I received plain rice, oh well never mind, it was topped with a sunnyside up which is never a bad thing In my opinion. All in all pretty tasty!

The Little Nibbler had the Lamb Chops, which infact is lamb shoulder but who's quibbling! A generous portion of lamb along with fries, coleslaw and African sauce. Now what makes this sauce African we really don't know, but it has a nice, spicy peppery kick.

All washed down with a couple of Heineken sets!

This branch of Upperstar is located opposite The Hyatt and is open every evening from 16.30 onwards.

The Bill : 1x Malaysian Delight, 1x Lamb Chop, 2x Heineken Set = 65.55 MYR

Something for everyone @ Upperstar!

Kuching Laksa @ Nam Fong - Segama

Another Laksa well worth trying is Kuching Laksa at Nam Fong. This Laksa is not as creamy or thick as others around town but maybe this is the nature of Kuching or Sarawak Laksa! Ingredients are plentiful with prawns, shredded chicken and omelette, beancurd puffs and beansprouts. With its dark colour it gives the look of a head blowing, highly spiced dish but the spice is just right for my taste, of course belacan sambal is served for the super spicy lovers!

Nam Fong is located in the Segama shoplots, KK Plaza side.

Nam Fong also specializes in Hong Kong style BBQ Meats.

The Bill : Kuching Laksa, Teh Ping = 7.10 MYR


You don't have to travel so far for the taste of Sarawak, Kuching Laksa right here in Kota Kinabalu.

Booze & Snacks @ Upperstar Cafe & Bar - Segama

When it comes to drinking in KK, Upperstar springs to mind for reasonably priced drinks. This is my favourite Upperstar to come for a beer, catch a sunset and watch the world go by from their breezy balcony.

I also quite like their Potato Wedges dipped in mayo to snack on while having a beer or two.

This branch of Upperstar is located Downtown at one end of the Segama shop lots adjacent to the Hyatt. Opens daily from about 4.30pm till late evening.

Great people watching spot with views over to Gaya and the added bonus of a KK sunset.

The Bill : 1x Heineken Set, 1x Potato Wedges = 24.66 MYR

A great place to chill out, catch up with friends and have a booze. For me this Upperstar branch has the best location with a great balcony.
