SugarBun aroma rice and chicken

A closer look and non-aerial shot, I believe you are now hungry. It worth your time and money if you have yet taste it with your tongue. Our first homegrown fast food restaurant has been in the business for more than 30 years.


However, it seem like SugarBun still require large market share in Malaysia in order to combat rising cost of food and invest more in creating more delicious menu. I have seen some SugarBun outlets closed its door it might be due to problem in sustaining business expenditure.





It will be another atmosphere as the day get darker. The sun is still shining bright at Gaya Street Sugarbun outlet. Most of the frequent patrons are still preparing to come out.

A bowl of Salad and chicken with tasty sauce one of the best combination ever


Kenny Rogers Roasters Balance Duo


I always wanted to try Kenny Rogers recipe. The sauce is just pretty nice coupled with delicious salad really suits it name "Balance Duo".


The size of the chicken is bigger than you think and see in the image. You might get more bites than McDonald's or KFC drumsticks that is a truth. Although it does not come cheap compared to them but it is a good and must-try restaurant. I assume the price is RM13.00 ++


Do you know that Kenny Rogers is now owned by Berjaya group ? Kenny Rogers Roasters was an American company but now only available in Asia particularly, Malaysia.

Maggi Introduces New Flavor in Malaysia 2014

Maggi Royale Korean Spicy Braised Beef. Royalicious !!



Maggi Royale Korean Spicy Braised Beef



I believe Maggi introduces this flavor in November 2014. There were heavy advertisements on Youtube, social media platforms and various websites showing the banners of new Maggi flavor in Malaysia.

Maggi Royale noodle has been upgraded and its first flavor using Maggi Royale noodle was the Maggi Penang Seafood Curry flavor. I have tried both and the result is fascinating. I thought there was no instant noodle company could match the noodle quality of Mamee. But, it seem like Mamee met a strong competitor in instant noodle business.




Besides that, I have tried this new flavor. Servay at Kota Kinabalu seem to have this new flavor in its shelves. Do note that the selling price is RM7 plus. What's more, there were only 4 packs of maggi Royale Korean Spicy Braised Beef in a bundle. 


The taste was fantastic. It was spicy and the noodle was slightly bigger. Reminder to all that should you try this you must add some more water in order to reduce spicy soup. I think this is one of it kind in Malaysia. Maggi could be the first instant noodle company in Malaysia to introduces beef flavor.

The above image is lacking of hot water. I was eating one pack only . I usually boils water and put the noodle inside then, I will prepare another water making sure will not drink the boiled water used to cook the instant noodle. People said, it contains some kind of lax or preservative in order to sustain noodle expiry date.





Ochado Roast Milk Tea at Suria Sabah

Ochado Roast Milk Tea and Ochado's Japanese rice


Ochado Roast Milk Tea does contains unique taste. The price for one cup is RM5.90 ranked as the most favorable Ochado's drink. One of its competitors in Sabah are ZenQ and Yoyo. Although there was a milk tea branch Chatime in Sabah, that will not do any differences because Chatime are only popular at West Malaysia.


People lining up to buy Ochado milk tea at Suria Sabah


If you order one ice Milo or ice Nescafe, it already something like RM2.70 at Gaya Street's restaurant before the implementation of GST in April 2015. Drinking Ochado means you are drinking two ice Nescafe. Will the common restaurants in Sabah selling drinks same price as Ochado ?? That is some interesting topic because you needs to know that GST would be implemented next year.


Should restaurant's Nescafe price increasing next year, it better for most of us drink a cup of Nescafe before leaving home. The truth is that most of us would not know whether or not it was overpriced. We know that the demands from tourists are soaring high according to yearly chart released by federal or state government. Some said the restaurant price were to cater the affluence travelers to Sabah. How about the local community ??






Ochado at Suria Sabah is selling this Japanese rice. It really delicious and the way they wrapped it so much creative. The sticky rice and seaweed are best couple ever. It only cost less than RM4.00

no 1 Ochado drink in Sabah



The current no 1 milk tea at Ochado Suria Sabah is Ochado Roasted milk tea flavor. Personally think that it has this smell of something burned.

Where to Eat on Sunday at Suria Sabah Food Court

Halal and non-Halal, Noodle and Chicken your no 1 choice hangout at the heart of Kota Kinabalu


Suria Sabah Food Court



Brings Starbucks, KFC, McDonald's, Chicken Rice Shop and order a drink at here. I guess there were no restrictions imposed that you should order food there in order to occupy that area. It was crowded with local peoples on Sunday. A location you have higher chance overlooking the wide sea. 


One thing I have observed was the hardworking staffs cleaning the table so that the next customer could occupy the dining table. Without them, you will dine on a table with leftover food. It is not Sabahan culture throwing food leftover. Besides, there is no designated place where Sabahan could learn throw their own leftover food.


As if there were a designated place, they could throw away the food and returning the plate which is a good idea. However, it would take away the jobs. Besides, I would suggest putting the recycle dustbin increasing public awareness on protecting the planet since there were tourist we should set example but, it would jeopardize our culture ( Not all actually left their food on the tablet). Furthermore, outlets could use recycled plastic instead of solid plate or make a recycled plastic and put Suria Sabah Food Court logo or something.
