The old rule that you should eat local and as fresh as you can proves to be true once again. Every country has it's own specialty which is usually fresh and in abundance. If you go to England, the best thing that you can get that is fresh and local is things you need for English Breakfast. Sausage, bacon and free range eggs, all sourced from local farms is what in my eyes make England amazing. You don't go to Sheffield to eat fish, you go to have an amazing scran. Simmilarly when you get to Kota Kinabalu, you dont come here to eat meat. You come here to eat fish that was as Craig said, ''crawling on the sea floor the same morning'' and the fruit that grows in the rainforrest which was picked unlike the 3 week old bananas we get in England a few day before hand. We found this restaurant on the sea front which serves sea food. You can pick the fish that you would like and they cook it for you according to your taste. We tried some squid, we got 500 grams of the freshest squid I have ever seen for a Fiver! You can pick all sorts of fish which I don't even recognise and I am going to attempt to try every single one of them that they have. Squid with some fresh ginger and chilli Just in case we didn't have enough heat already some fresh chilli in oil Having a dinner overlooking the harbour in Kota Kinabalu Nestum prawns Traditional malay dish prawn tom yum The fruit is amazing here as well, you can buy freshly cut strips of papaya, mango,watermellon, dragon fruit and weird tropical fruits for 1 ringitt each (25 p) or have a fresh juice. Fresh litre of pineapple juice for less then 2 Pounds. Because is so hot, you just end up snacking on fruit all day as it's light and refreshing. Don't think I had this much fruit that I had over the weekend in the whole year. Bring on healthy bowels and a good shit! Dom x
