Find the rows of bbq stalls selling fresh (and very cheap) gilled seafood. A massive tuna steak, two squids, rice and drinks set us back $7SGD per person. It's SOO GOOD. When you get to the stall of your choice, point to your choice, and take a seat. Make your own sauce using the condiments in front of you. Water is safe to drink but you can order drinks. They will ask you if you want rice. Eat and be happy. HEH. Joan, in KK check out the Filipino market. Find the rows of bbq stalls selling fresh (and very cheap) gilled seafood.

I forget it's name but it's the large, covered, outdoor eating area where they hold the free cultural dances at night. The seafood is amazing and fabulously cheap. We had fun sucking out sea snails from their shells!!! 2) For something more upmarket, there is an indoor Chinese restaurant right by the sea. Your B+B host will know which one I'm talking about. 3) We went to a mamak style eatery (think large room, with lots of tables and whirring ceiling fans) and had lots of fun ordering local Malaysian/Malay delicacies. The Sabahans speak with a slightly different Bahasa Malaysia and I had great fun re-brushing mine on that trip :) PS: Bring chocolate bars eg Snickers for your climb up. Something lightweight yet yummy. I rewarded myself with a bite at every pit stop. It was the only thing that kept me going! Don't forget to tote an extra one for your guide too :):) This might be a tad too late but:
