Bangunan Seri Damai  
🧑🏻‍🍳 Shop name: Something Cafe & Patisserie 

✔️ What I Ordered:
1. Canelé RM8

2. Matcha Strawberry RM15

3. Cafe Latte RM11

4. Rose Peach Sparking RM15

👍Why I like it: Definitely a hidden gem for me to sit quietly (having some time off my son) or hanging out with mates. It’s such a aesthetic cafe with some insta-worthy corners but with limited seating spaces. The ambience is warm and cozy. It wasn’t busy during the time of my visit it was quiet and peaceful hence I love it and will be back again! The canelé was the favourite from my order. It has soft and tender custard in the centre but coated with crispy, dark and thick caramelised crust. The matcha strawberry is a great combination. The sweet sour taste of strawberry neutralised the bitter sweet matcha 👍🏻 I regret not trying out the tarts but I’ll be back anyway!

Cafe Hopping in Kota Kinabalu - Something Cafe

Kozan, Teppan-yaki at Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu  
🧑🏻‍🍳 Shop name: Kozan Teppanyaki

✔️ What I Ordered: Ten (Sky) RM298 nett
- Hokkaido Scallop
- Tiger Prawn
- Sabah Grouper
- Australian Black Angus Beef Rib Eye
Inclusive of Appetizer, sautéed mixed vegetables, garlic fried rice, Japanese pickles, miso soup and dessert of the day


👍Why I like it: The foods were incredibly delicious and fresh. Presentation was also lovely. Portion was rather small but was good enough for me. I was stuffed at the end of the night. I would say it is kind of a semi fine dining restaurant. A minimalist aesthetic teppanyaki restaurant combined with a clean and modern design. Great experience on my first visit. The service was top notch and the designated staff serving us was also excellent. Booking is also required upfront as we were not able to book our dinner on the first night and failed to get on the table of the “fire show” on the second night but we saw the performance. It is a little pricy but definitely worth it and I will be back!

Brown Fox Cafe  

🧑🏻‍🍳 Shop name: Brown Fox Cafe

✔️ What I Ordered:
1. Creamy Mushroom Croissant RM23
- shiitake and oyster mushroom / melted mozzarella / nori fries / sriracha aioli

2. Chicken Popcorn RM14
- served with mustard mozzarella cream

3. Furikake Fries RM13

4. Banana Bread Slice RM7

👍Why I like it: A pleasant and relaxing cafe to chill with friends and family. The cafe ambience is great, Japanese themed with minimalistic interior design. Most of the staffs were helpful but might have a new staff during this time of my visit hence the food ordering part was a little slow. Drinks were good (the hot drinks including coffees and matcha latte we ordered). Foods were alright but quite fancy and have a few varieties to choose from. Not my first time here and is always on my list to come back again as a place to chill or catch ups.

3. Salmon Roll RM36

4. Assorted Tempura Plate RM19.80

👍Why I like it: My favourite, salmon sashimi is always served fresh (not my first time here of course). We had two set of it hence the big portion as shown in the photo. The sushi rolls are also one of the must order items! And I was pretty impressed with the spicy ramen. Tasted great! The broth was so good, wasn’t salty but flavourful! The restaurant environment was comfortable and clean. Staffs were extremely friendly and helpful. Service was great! I would say it is a pretty decent Japanese restaurant with great foods especially the fresh salmon sashimi and service is professional!
