Guide to Must Eat 18 Kota Kinabalu Foods 亚庇必吃18样美食 (V.1)

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. 沙巴， 亚庇。

熟悉的味道， 亚庇人最知道了。 在此， 我会介绍多样我喜爱的亚庇美食！ 时常被推荐的也少说了。

Those evergreen taste that KK people knows! Non the less, I don't think I need to include those which are highly recommended online and including those which are overate as well. In this entry, I will recommend those that us, locals normally go instead. 

东炎！FRESH PRAWN TOM YUM!

我未成放弃过的一样美食！ 来这间茶店必定要吃的！

I always love to eat spicy food and the he fact is, it has been years I never walk off from the previous shop the stall at. Recently (currently April 2016), the stall has been moved to have a restaurant operated by Ah Chee himself! Yup! Its him, and now with more selection.
