Bad Experience at Nabalu Lodge Restaurant

Really feel embarrassed to my friends from other states which visiting Sabah on their holiday. When I say embarrassed, then I mean so.  I thought that the restaurant is still at their best service and menu while in 2009.

Mixed Veggie with Rice @ Nabalu Lodge
Mixed Veggie Rice RM9.00, taken in 2010, now gone..

Earlier, I was humbly suggested my friends to dine at this restaurant because of easy reach on that time. On arrival, seen the waitress busy here and there. Looking around, few tables still waiting for their meals. I started to feel something not quite good with their service. We continue our orders using new very simple menu booklet. Some of us ordered the Nabalu Fried Rice which looking good at their big photo outside of the restaurant. Then, we waited for almost 30 minutes or more for the meals. Ok, there are quite many customers and the waitress run here and there to return the orders. Its like too busy and noisy too. When my order arrived, I was puzzled and looking at the Nabalu Fried Rice. For RM9.00 its a ridiculous from a restaurant with a lodge.

This the Nabalu Fried Rice.. RM9.00

and this is what we saw on their outside big wall menu

We asked the waitress if that is really the Nabalu Fried Rice, she confirmed. I said that's bad because the photo of Nabalu Fried Rice is different. She said now it different. Since when? and the price should be just RM5.00 or less for such fried rice. Egg Fried Rice at one of the restaurants at KK is only RM3.50 with some decoration.

And then special Fried Rice at Grace Point (if I'm not mistaken)

Oh, I forgot.. the other restaurants are not hotel restaurant. Fine, but they should prepare their food like a hotel restaurant then. Sorry, Nabalu Lodge Restaurant.. upgrade your service don't embarrass Kundasang.

Travel 1: KK-Kota Belud-Kundasang

Training.. training.. modify code, extract data, data cleaning, transformation, discretize, write paper.. report.. etc, argh I need an escape for a while. Actually, while I am here at Sabah, I would like to visit all major towns via different route with any possible means of transport, what else.. my wira lah. This is my first mission from: 1. KK-Kota Belud-Kundasang 2. KK-Tambunan-Ranau-Kundasang 3. KK-Kota Belud-Kota Marudu-Kudat-Tip of Sabah-Kundasang 4. KK-Tambunan-Keningau-Tenom-Sipitang-Beaufort-KK 5. KK-Kota Marudu-Pitas-Beluran-Telupid-Ranau-Kundasang 6. KK-Tambunan-Keningau-Sook-Nabawan-Kalabakan-Tawau-Samporna-Sandakan-Telupid-Ranau-Kundasang Mission number 5 and 6 should be the last because the road may be not suitable for my wira.. hehe. In this journey, the road is easy from KK to Kota Belud but a little bit steep from Kota Belud Ranau-Tuaran junction via Jalan Ranau Bypass. The scenery is simply amazing and beautiful with Kinabalu in the background, but too...

How to go to Kundasang?

First of all, thank you for arriving into my blog. Whether you will arrive in Kota Kinabalu by an airplane (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), sea or land, I would like to welcome you to Sabah Below the Wind and also welcome to Kundasang, the home for Sabah vegetables and Mount Kinabalu. I know my page is not really informative but hopefully can benefit to you. My blog receives quite many references from search engines looking for "Kundasang map", "peta kundasang", "how to go to Kundasang from KK" and some other similar keywords. Thus, I will try as possible to briefly explain how to go to Kundasang from Kota Kinabalu. It’s a bit sad actually that Sabah’s public transport is not yet fully developed to integrate all important destinations at the moment. However, I’m hoping that the Sabah Government will work out on this issue as soon as possible to provide better public transport links to popular destinations especially Kundasang. Normally, when friends ask...

DIY - Hyundai Inokom Atos Starter Removal

I replaced my Suzuki Jimny SJ410 starter sometime ago and it is quite easy because plenty of space in SJ410 engine bay. However, the Atos compact engine bay is really challenging for starter removal. Actually, a hard start had happened to Atos since few months and recently getting worse. Service centre diagnosed as starter problem. The battery is new but very hard to start especially after turned off the engine and need to wait for few minutes then the Atos can be started with two or three key turn. It is very annoying when turning off the engine while filling fuel at petrol station.  Wifey asked at service centre the new starter, guess how much.. RM1K++.. matai.. crazy expensive. Alternatively, have to go for third party starter and looking around Inanam, most of the car parts shops do not have Atos starter. Besides, I don't really know which shops have this starter. Finally, I asked the regular shop at Tamparuli and need to order (no stock already) with price is ab...
