Ice Cream

There's a chain of ice-cream selling outlets called Vedablu in KK. The locally made ice-cream is billed as premium italian ice-cream and has a lot of varieties, including the one pictured above - Durian, yes Durian. It's usually the one I ask for when I go to anyone of the outlets. Anyway, the price of a cup with one scoop as in the photo is a little below 5 Malaysian Ringgit, which is the price of a plate of rice with 3-4 kinds of dishes. So its a bit pricey but about half the price of a Haagen-Dasz or Baskin Robbins of the same size.

Grace Point Food Court

This the Grace Point food court, well just a portion of it. These are three of the food outlets there. The foodcourt has a large variety of food from Western to local Sabah cuisine, and a lot in between. I had lunch the other day with a friend. I had thai fried rice from the thai outlet but it was so so, so pass that one. I am definitely going to try the other ones later. Anyway, the foodcourt is managed by Sutera Harbour but the outlets are run by independent vendors. Did I mention that Grace Point is part of the park where the Double Six Memorial is located. You can read about the development of the area here and here.

Seafood Heaven

KK is by the sea, so seafood, fresh seafood is easily available and is probably much cheaper than places like Kuala Lumpur and so on. I just came back from lunch with six close friends and the photo above was what we had - steamed prawn, assam fish, chilli crabs, mushroom in oyster sauce and chilli chicken. The photo was taken halfway through lunch, so half was gone. Then, throw in four fresh coconuts, two blended mochas, one lime juice (kicai peng) and one shaved ice dessert (ABC). We also had some jelly thing for dessert. Yes, I can vouch the seafood was fresh. The fish was probably swimming around in the on-site fish tank before it was selected to you know what.

By the way, the place where we had lunch is called Gayang Seafood Restaurant. (Incidentally the photo in this linked blog showed the same table we had lunch today - Table 15). The place is a little bit far out, but the prices are cheaper than those restaurants in downtown. There's another one nearby called Salut Seafood Restaurant. Both are set among the mangrove trees of Karambunai Lagoon.
