Eat Your Heart Out

You are in for a treat! Kinabalu is a coastal town, and this can only mean one thing – cheap and fresh SEAFOOD! Think fresh tiger prawns, a steam grouper, crisp salted egg squid, with an iced cold beer for your post-race-celebratory dinner! Sabah is a culinary adventure in itself. The Sabahan food has its own unique flair. Have you heard of the fish noodles? – this is no ordinary noodle with fish, the noodles is fish! The broth is clear and flavouful, or if you would like something more enhancing on the taste buds, go for the fish noodles in tom yam soup! We heard Kedai Kopi Wan Wan serves up arguably the best fish noodles in town!

How can we miss this – Tuaran Mee! If Sarawak is known for Sarawak Laksa and Kolo Mee, then Sabah is known for it’s Tuaran Mee. It’s a local speciality. This handmade noodles are usually fried and served with spring rolls. It’s fragrant, springy and boasts a whole lot of flavour! We heard Kedai Kopi Sin Fast Hing is an old time favourite for the Tuaran Mee!
Go On An Adventure

The list of post-race adventure activities to do is endless! Of course at the top of the list is to scale Mount Kinabalu. Standing high at 4095m above sea level, it is the highest mountain in the Malaysia. Challenge yourself to climb to the top and be rewarded with a jaw-dropping view. Standing atop the clouds, conquering the highest mountain in SEA – it’s going to be a story to tell your grandkids. Want more adrenaline rush? – go white water rafting in the Padas River!
