Zestful Eats

Upperstar Pepper Grill and Bar is a two story restaurant and bar opposite Hyatt Hotel, Kota Kinabalu. I went there on my last night in Kota Kinabalu to have dinner with my old classmates (including Tim, Megan and Fara).

They serve mostly western food. I had the Lamb Chop – which is generally my choice when I’m not really sure what to eat – and the Hot Chocolate. I also had a Garlic Bread.

The Garlic bread (RM3.70) was three measly slices and was a bit burnt and hard. Not that nice. The Lamb Chop (RM12.95) was two big pieces that were not too fatty with a side dish of fries and coleslaw. The hot chocolate (RM4.95) was just average.

Overall I think its quite reasonably priced food with a good environment. We had fun talking and reminicising about old times.

Sorry for the lack of updates but I’ve been busy with exams and schoolwork. Then I went to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah for a friend’s wedding. I used to stay in KK for 7 years and there is this one restaurant that I never miss to go everytime I’m in town which is Little Italy. Rach, Derek and I went to Little Italy on Sunday night to satisfy my craving to eat their sandwich.

Calzone (small) – Alla Salsiccia (RM19.90). Its basically a folded pizza. This one has lamb in a tomato based sauce

Puccia di Pollo – Chicken and Mushroom sandwich. This is what I have been craving for. (RM18.50)

Sal. Casereccia (RM32.90) – Lamb kebabs. This is really nice and juicy. I can’t rmbr what’s the full name of this dish but that’s what is written in the receipt.

Little Italy Pasta and Pizza Corner is a small corner restaurant at the heart of town near Wisma Merdeka that is a great hit – especially with foreigners. So do go early because this place is always full especially during meal times.
