'Green Curry' I ate in Malaysia

Address Wizma Merdeka Shopping Mall Address Jalan Haji saman, pusat Bandar kota kinadalu, 88000 kota kinabalu sabah, malaysia. Atmosphere/Facilities: Hmm... It tastes unique Special reason: Have you tried green curry? Average price per person: 12,000 won / around 40 ringgit Rating: ●●●●○ -------- Kota Kinabalu in July. Kota in July is very hot. The average temperature is close to 40 degrees, and people are turning on fans as a last resort, but it's not enough. So the locals ride motorcycles or bicycles to endure the sea breeze. It's been about 7 days since I've lived in Kota, and I'm a Korean who's gotten used to the heat. I rented a small scooter from a rental shop and I'm able to ride it to some extent. Kota is the capital of Sabah, so there are still many public facilities, including government offices. The population is also 400,000, similar to Wonju in Korea. Since it is a world-famous tourist city, the prices are a little different from the local area, but the tourist areas are a little more expensive. In fact, the prices of shopping malls are almost the same as in Korea. From Imago Mall to Wisma Merdeka, I rode a scooter and visited a nearby curry shop. Well... I visited to challenge myself. This is a place that sells green curry. What on earth is green curry? Green curry is similar to regular curry, but it is made by adding green spices and a little pepper. In other words, it is the same as regular curry, but it is sold by adding more green dye to make a completely green curry. Also, green curry had a lot of mushrooms and onions, and people called it vegan curry. Malaysia follows secular Islam, so pork, which is forbidden by religion, is sold in the market, but this green curry is popular because it doesn't contain any meat. But my friend next to me got beef curry for about 8,000 won, and I got curry without any meat for 12,000 won......ㅜㅜ When I tried it, the spices weren't strong, but it tasted like milk. When I looked into it, it was an amazing hybrid made by mixing curry + milk + spices. At first, I was reluctant to try it because it was a new taste, but after eating it, it was delicious?! It's like rice mixed with green tea milk. It's not visually appealing, but I ate it all anyway. If I were to recommend it again... Hmm... I'd say beef curry would be better. I had a good experience. #Kota Kinabalu #Kota Kinabalu travel #Overseas travel #Local restaurant #Curry restaurant #Curry restaurant #Green curry #Malaysian restaurant #Outing #Vegan food #Restaurant tour #Safe travel

🐠Snorkeling Tour Kota Kinabalu Mantanani Island🐠 When you go to the resort #Kota Kinabalu, you should enjoy at least one #activity, right?! Among them, I recommend the #Mantanani Island Tour!! #Snorkeling where you can enjoy the underwater scenery full of tropical fish I recommend it to those who like activities~!! It was really so great to swim in the really clear emerald seaㅠㅜ ✏️Reservation: There is a way to do it in Korea, and there is also a way to do it when you go there! I chose the way to do it when you go there and made a reservation at the Kota Kinabalu Waterfront!! I thought the weather was important, so I didn't make a reservation in advance and decided to check the local weather forecast! I went without making a reservation, but since I visited during the rainy season, I chose the tour date and chose it, but it wasn't that clearㅠㅠ Schedule🕙: Pick-up from downtown starts at 6-7 AM! The locals pick you up at the time you were told and drive for about 2 hours to the pier٩꒰。•◡•。꒱۶ I passed out in the car because it was early in the morning, and after writing down my personal information at the pier and waiting for a bit, I got on a boat and went into the island! ‼️Things to watch out for here‼️ If you get seasick, definitely take motion sickness medicine,,, I didn't know anything and just went there and got seasick and couldn't come to my senses, and I almost diedㅠㅜㅠThe boat ride takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour, but when I got to the island, I felt sick and just lay downㅠㅜㅜMotion sickness medicine is absolutely essential!! And the weather was bad on the day I went on the tour, so I was originally going to go snorkeling at two places for an hour each, but I went snorkeling at one place for two hours and came back to the dock ŏ̥̥̥̥םŏ̥̥̥̥ Still, it was fun and great, but I hope other people go on a nice day and experience everything without missing anything٩꒰。•◡•。꒱۶ And the buffet (5th picture) provided at Mantanani Island wasn't delicious, but it was edible! I was a little worried about hygiene and there were a lot of bugs so it was hard, but I thought that might be the charm of the beach,,,ㅎㅎ Everyone, go to a #resort in the winter and have a great experience at a #snorkeling spotღ'ᴗ'ღ #Kota Kinabalu travel #Malaysia travel #Mantanani Island #Activity #Tour #Island #Boat #Christmas #Winter travel #Safe travel #Gourmet tour #Year-end travel #Winter food #Winter walk #On a snowy day #Resort #Happy New Year #Insta hot place #Life shot #Life shot spot #Next time here #2019 travel #Memorable travel

Tanjung Aru Beach

🌤Sunset means Kota Kinabalu🌤 #Kota Kinabalu is a famous resort for its sunset, one of the world's top 3 #sunset beaches, right?! However, I visited Kota Kinabalu during the rainy season from October to February, and I only saw gloomy skies during sunset during my entire tripㅠ Then on the last day of my trip!! I was lucky because it was the last day, and the weather suddenly cleared up, so I quickly grabbed a Grab and went to Tanjung Aru Beach to see the sunset! I asked the Grab driver to take me to Tanjung Aru Sunset Bar, but he recommended that I go a little further from the entrance because there are no people inside, and he took me there. The stores were pretty, and there were no people, so it was great! There are always a lot of people at the entrance, so I recommend taking a Grab and going all the way inside ٩꒰。•◡•。꒱۶ I went to the sunset bar around sunset time, had a drink, and took a lot of pictures📸 It wasn't the purple scenery I saw in the pictures, but the sky was completely orange and it was so prettyㅠㅠ And when you travel to any country, try buying a small flag of that country! It's nothing special, but if you appear in the photo for a little while, It's so pretty and the atmosphere is great.ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ #Kota Kinabalu travel #Malaysia travel #Vacation spot #Sunset #Sunset restaurant #Winter food #Walking in winter #On a snowy day #New Year's travel #happynewyear #Next time here #2019 travel #Merry Christmas #Life shot spot #Life travel destination #Year-end travel #Vacation travel #Winter travel #Restaurant exploration #Safe travel #Happy New Year
