KK : Gayang Restaurant
Because I am not a seafood fan, I am not impressed when folks kept saying how good the seafood are in Sabah. In fact, I will draw a little blank when asked where the best seafood eateries are in Sabah.
However, since my circle of family and friends are mostly seafood fans, I have had the pleasure of knowing about obscure-out-of-the-way-known-mostly-to-locals seafood eatery such as the Gayang Restaurant.
This place, which is along the route to 5 stars hotels such as the Nexus Karambunai and Shangri-La Rasa Ria is a good 20 mins drive from downtown Kota Kinabalu.
It's located on a huge plot of land as they also rear their own fish and prawns. The whole restaurant is built on stilts on water and when we first arrived there in the afternoon, it was low tide and crabs were swarming the riverbed. I was told that you'd get lovely sunset here too.
Even though it's way out of town, it's popular with local diners. This is also one of the eatery which serves tourists and when we were there, 3-4 busloads of tourists also came for lunch.
On that day, we had the usual seafood fare of clams, fish, prawns, vegetable and one of my very few seafood favorite : soft-shelled crabs.
The meal was fine but the crab was sure expensive. That plate cost us RM45.
