3 days 2 nights Kota Kinabalu trip was truly fantastic.
We stayed at Eden 54 Hotel which is located at Jalan Gaya.
There is a variety of traveling information at Sabah Tourism Board.
Australia Place is the location where Australian army landed during World War Two.
A wide range of shop, office and company are available at Jalan Gaya. There is a Sunday Market at Jalan Gaya every Sunday.
We dropped by Filipino Night Market to buy some Sabah marine products. The stuffs are seaweed, anchovies, salted fish, dried shrimps, dried scallops and sea cucumbers.
This is a packet of Sabah seaweed which is also known as sea bird's nest. Sabah seaweed is rich in protein, mineral, vitamin and collagen.
We moved to Jesselton Point to buy speedboat tickets to Sapi Island. There are a few speedboat companies provide service to tourists getting to islands near Kota Kinabalu.
This photo shows visitors just arriving at Sapi Island jetty. Besides Sapi Island, you can enjoy the cool sea breeze at Manukan Island and Mamutik Island. Visitors are advised not to take anything from these islands except taking photos and left their foot prints.
Returning from Sapi Island, we savored afternoon tea at Fu Yuan Coffee Shop.
This coffee shop serves coffee in large glass. The taste of dim sum nothing different form dim sum in peninsula. Most of the employees of Fu Yuan Coffee Shop are like robot.
After taking dinner at Welcome Restaurant, we were strolling and taking photos around Kota Kinabalu.
These photos include sailfish statue, Sugar Bun Cafe, Wisma Intiutama, Jalan Istana Arch, Malaysia Monument and Oldtown White Coffee.
As a prominent landmark of Kota Kinabalu, Atkinson Clock Tower is one of the oldest buildings in Kota Kinabalu.
It's was built in 1905 to commemorate the contribution of Atkinson as first Jesselton (Kota Kinabalu) District Officer of British North Borneo Company.
From Atkinson Clock Tower, we walked to Signal Hill Observatory which is the highest point of Kota Kinabalu.
Other than walking, taking a taxi to Signal Hill Observatory is another alternative. You are able to view the amazing scenery of Kota Kinabalu from Signal Hill Observatory.
Before returning to peninsula, we went to Suria Sabah for last minute shopping. Suria Sabah is not only a shopping center. It's also a very popular tourist attraction in Kota Kinabalu.
When you are in Kota Kinabalu, visit Suria Sabah to look for something you like and bring back as sweet memory.

Suria Sabah is one of the landmarks in Kota Kinabalu Sabah.
This is the location of KK Suria Sabah. It's located at Jalan Tun Fuad Stephens.
The role of Suria Sabah is not only a shopping complex. It's also a popular tourist attraction in Kota Kinabalu.
There are many hotels around Kota Kinabalu Suria Sabah. Eden 54 Hotel is not far away from Kota Kinabalu Suria Sabah.
We had a stroll around Kota Kinabalu after savoring seafood at Welcome Seafood Restaurant.
Built at Jalan Tugu, Malaysia Monument is not far away from KK Welcome Seafood Restaurant.
Sugar Bun Cafe was packed with its loyal fans. We wished to drop by to have a drink but it was full house.
The bright Luigi Malones Restaurant is near Filipino Night Market. It had closed down for quite some time.
Walk straight from Jalan Datuk Salleh Sulong (Jalan Segama 2) to Jalan Tun Fuad Stephens. You will see a sailfish statue at a roundabout.
This Oldtown White Coffee outlet is next to Fu Yuan Coffee Shop. White coffee is not only available in Malaysia. It's also sold at Macau supermarket.
The triangular Wisma Intiutama is located opposite KK Police Station. The front of the building is same as any other building but the rear of the building is truly unique and interesting.
During our stay in Sabah, we dined at Kota Kinabalu Welcome Seafood Restaurant at second night.
We ordered three dishes for our seafood dinner. The first dish was steamed tiger grouper.
Although this swimming tiger grouper was fresh but it's not as delicious as the steamed red snapper of Sekinchan Ten Tian Lai Seafood Restaurant.
The second dish was steamed big prawns. These big prawns were also very fresh but I prefer the butter prawns of Ten Tian Lai Seafood Restaurant.
Welcome Seafood Restaurant had to serve too many customers. Perhaps that's the reason the restaurant unable to provide tasty food.
Back from
Sapi Island trip, we enjoyed teatime at Fu Yuan Coffee Shop. Located at Jalan Gaya,
Fu Yuan Coffee Shop is not far away from Eden 54 Hotel.
The coffee of Fu Yuan Coffee Shop is quite popular among the locals of Kota Kinabalu.
After savoring mini cup of coffee at Volendam and Saint Germain, I was amazed with the big glass of coffee served by Fu Yuan Coffee Shop.
Why coffee drinking culture between Asia and Europe are so different?
Located at the foothill of Signal Hill, Atkinson Clock Tower is the unique landmark of KK, Sabah. Completed in 1905, Atkinson Clock Tower is the oldest building in Kota Kinabalu.
Atkinson was appointed as the first district officer of Jesselton (Kota Kinabalu) by British North Borneo Company. Unfortunately he died at the age of 28 because infected with malaria. Mother of Atkinson, Mrs. Mary Edith Atkinson built Aktinson Clock Tower as a memorial to his late son.
After the destruction of World War II, Atkinson Clock Tower still guiding ships entering the Port of Jesselton. Because now there are many tall buildings in KK, Atkinson Clock Tower no longer serves as direction indicator.
