Honestly, I’ve had better brownies. Jeng’s brownies were kind of dry and thin and didn’t have a satisfying bite to them. The creamy cheesecake brownies were a little better. Don’t expect the really rich, dense brownies that you get from other cafes (at a much higher price). Despite the taste being nothing special, we bought brownies from Jeng’s a couple of times during our stay in KK. Jeng’s Homemade Brownies are still a nice sweet treat for a cheap price.
The market is in the heart of downtown Kota Kinabalu so most tourists will be hanging out nearby. While the market may not have many items of interest for tourists, it is a great place to soak up the local culture and experience a traditional Sabahan market. If it’s inconvenient to be in the area on a Sunday morning, you can safely skip the Gaya Street Sunday Market. Most likely, you won’t buy anything and it’ll take you less than an hour to see all the stalls.
You shouldn’t miss the Api Api Night Food Market on Gaya Street if you’re in Kota Kinabalu on a Friday or Saturday night. We went to the market twice during our stay in KK because there was so much to eat. It’s also a much more interesting dinner option than the restaurants around. There’s a huge variety of drinks and freshly made local cuisine that visitors are sure to find something that will get their mouths watering.
Kedai Kopi Melanian 3 is one of the places that served delicious and comfortable breakfast. The soup is very warm and flavorful while the meat slices are tender and fresh. The meatballs are bouncy with flavourful. Serving together with the (kon lou) dried version noodle that is packed with soy sauce and slight sweetness. These are the perfect combo. Another selling point is the Madras Milk Green Tea, the green tea is added with milk and packed with Jasmine fragrance is one of my favorite drinks too.
