“ Called in on return from National Park this restaurant seems to be popular with your operators. Vast choice of food at very reasonable prices. All of our food was cooked to order and presented very well. Grateful views of Mt Kinabalu if not covered by cloud. ”
“ Our favourite place for gathering and chilling. Very nice views and atmosphere. Ample seating , have privacy and comfortable while chatting. A bit disappointed with the steamboat price and ingredients, as the price is a bit expensive but less ingredients are provided. The taste of the soup was also different from the last time we’ve tried, much spicier. ”
“ The food served is very good. The dishes are varied and tasteful. Located on a hill which overlooks the valley of tea plantations. ”
“ Tbh, I wasn't expecting much. From the outside it looks like a typical tourist trap restaurant and the menu has a wide range of western and local fare. But all of our food came out great. The sourdough pizza is really good and the traditional Sabah smoked meat was amazing. If you're feeling adventurous, try all of the local condiments. They were STRONG but tasted really good. Will definitely stop by if I ever pass here again. ”
“ Ordered a Nasi Linopot with Ikan Goreng, Telur Dadar, Chicken Ham Sandwich, Spaghetti Bolognese, and Carrot Juice. The taste of western food is so-so, we felt the local food tasted better. ”
