A peek of Mt. Kinabalu enroute to Tuaran
Tuaran is an idylic little town that is half an hour away from Kota Kinabalu.
We come up here often to visit my ah-yi and to eat at a stall above the Tuaran market place. The food is yummy and fresh (literally like seafood just out of the ocean and vegetables just harvested from the backyards).
Our recent jaunt there produced an exciting discovery. The original chef had left for greener pastures, and her mum (also her guru) had taken over the kitchen. The menu stayed the same, but we were in for an even better treat than we were used to. Yumz. Mums are truly the best.
Fish head with beancurd skin and bean paste
Fish fillet, lips and skin with a special spicy sauce (I know, it sounds weird, but actually tastes really yummy!)

been there only once. ambience not exactly pleasant. hey, heather, been to Grace Point yet? nice place, clean, quite a bit of choices but not all good. claypot is good, western too. It's at Graceville.doing a piece on it soon, if i find those pics (missing things again).
:) yeah. must block out surroundings and the occasional waft of fish from the market. But the food (especially now with the mum cooking) is really really really good.
haven't been to gracepoint yet. :) will bug mum to bring me. if u say its good, it must be yummy!
