On a hunt for an inexpensive buffet restaurant while on vacation in Kota Kinabalu, i've come accross Winbell Seafood Restaurant from blogs and forums originating from Malaysia and Kota Kinabalu.
Always on the lookout for value for money restaurant abroad, this one perfectly satisfies my taste. Inexpensive, good buffet selection, well lit restaurant, attentive waiters, freshly prepared buffet selection, ample parking, and most importantly tatstes superb. II was impressed that even the owner was the one refilling the buffet table.
The Steamboat Buffet consists of seafood choices such as crabs, shrimp, fish fillet, shellfish among others. There are veggies, sausages, pork, chicken and other noodles too.
First, they ask you what soup would you want. The Tom Yam or the herbal soup. We chose both. Here is what the Steamboat Buffet Dinner looks like.
Just dunk all the fresh seafoods, veggies , pork, chicken, tofu etc into your choice of soup and voila you have a steamboat dinner. The taste of the soup is very refreshing and invigorating (to eat more hahaha) .
They also have a dessert table with fruits and local cakes / delicacies but nothing to rave about.
The cost: RM 25+ (approx $8) per person. If you order tea it's around RM1.00. Cheap and satisfying.
Here's us at the restaurant parking before eating . All hungry but with smiles on our faces.
Time out first to take pictures to send to our friends back home who are green with envy LOL.
Windbell Seafood Restaurant is located at 20 Jalan Selangor Tanjung Aru Kota Kinabalu.
It's 5mins away from the old airport. In fact, it's just at the back of the runway. It's also along the stretch of the Tanjung Aru beach. Just tell your taxi driver and he'd take you there.
Best time to go there is during dinner time so you can capture Tanjung Aru Sunset.
Word of advice: Bring mosquito repellant lotion for mozzies can be very nasty around this area.
And if you plan on going here best to talk to your taxi driver to wait for you because there are no public transpo around the area.
