Restaurants

Malaysia

Airport Cafeteria in Sennai
Food: 4
Service: Self

Notes: Servers have minimal understanding of english. The oher restaurant was advertising "Bugers". Mmmmm Vegetarian "Buger"...

Fancy Restaurant at Mt. Kinabalu Park HQ
Food: 2.5
Service: 2

Notes: Check to see if Visa works before sitting for food. Awful Simon and Garfunkel elevator music.

Not fancy restaurant at Mt. Kinabalu Park HQ
Food: 2
Service: Self

Notes: Also Check if Visa is working. If it isn't working, you might get to see staff kick said Visa machine to get it working. Sometimes this works.

Laban Rata Guest House, Mt. Kinabalu
Food: 3
Service: 4

Notes: Considering the location at 13000 feet -- fantastic. Buffet left much tobe desired -- avoid, use the menu.

Tropicana Billiads and Restaurant, Poring Hot Springs
Food: 4.5
Service: 2 (4)

Notes: Fantastic food, INCREDIBLY slow service. We suspect only one cook. Be advised of slow wait times. 4-year-old children trained as beer waiters.

Restoran Kalibimbang, Poring Hot Spings
Food: 1.5
Service: 3

Notes: No understanding of English -- generally responded "no" to any question they didn't understand, including "Can I have more sugar, please?". Avoid "American Breakfast" at all cost. The large coffee makes this an experience to behold. "Choice" of mushroom is not the customer's choice. Be warned.

Pizza Hut, Centrepoint Mall, Kota Kinabalu
Food: 3
Service: -1

Notes: Service was so bad it's good.

Waterfront Restaurant, Kota Kinabalu
Food: 2
Service: 4

Notes: Blandest burgers ever. Blandest salad ever. McCain Super Fries.

Coffee Bean, Kota Kinabalu Waterfront
Food: 3
Service: Self and 3

Notes: Starbucks clone. Coffee was good, ice-blended drinks good.

Jothy's Indian Curry House, Kota Kinabalu near Centrepoint Mall
Food: 4
Service: 4

Notes: Avoid ordering from non-english and obviously Malay waiters who had no concept of Indian Food and had to be constantly supervised. Fantastic food served on Banana Leaf.
