The Kadazan Bros

If there is one place i never EVER miss when in KK... it is THIS!!!!

And.. its located, opposite THIS ( a massive, massive massage parlor).

I wake up early... run a couple of rounds round sutera harbor... then i get down to the serious business of eating...

THIS




THIS....


AND THIS!!!

Why is it better than any fish head noodle i have ever eaten in KL?? because the fish is FRESH and each piece has its own distinct flavour and pungent, heady aroma (unlike the tasteless fish they tend to use in KL) ... and BONELESS (unlike the ones they use in KL) and the soup is thick, sweet and bursting with 'ham-choy' and coriander... (yes, u guessed it... unlike the ones in KL)!!!

The Kadazan brothers run the show. This place was more famously known as the Bukit Padang Fish Head Noodle restaurant.. but have since moved to the Jln Bundusan area... near Beverly Condominiums, Penampang...
This whole vicinity rocks for food i tell ya... they also have great fish paste noodles (kindly refer to my blog on Wan-Wan fish paste noodle for the whole nine yards..)

Warisan Square KK

We love Warisan Square we do! It has all my fav shops especially roxy …;P set amidst the bustling city centre overlooking the vibrant tourism-belt “KK Waterfront” and the idyllic islands of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, it is the mall where city folks and tourists flock to for something hot and hip!
Alongside all this, we heard that a cute lil Japanese restaurant had opened here... so after checking out roxy.. we traipsed down to Yoshimi to find out what all the fuss was about ;)

Hmmm... wot can we say.. pretty alright ambiance...

The cold sake went down smooth... like butter on a hot corb...

The sashimi was fresh..

The soft shell crab was a lil burnt... and the kobe beef was rather so-so... as in.. if you have to chew it .. it probably ain't (or ain't such good quality) kobe beef...


We found it rather suspicious when the owner produced an extra bottle of sake, on the house... either she really liked us (unlikely).. or we had just spent a substantial amount of dosh at her joint (likely .. and in which case.. suckers ... )
