Malaysian Cuisines on November from My Kota Kinabalu Weekend

Whew, it has already been a week since my last food blog. This is mainly caused by my preparations even before my leave of absence which started Friday – I went to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia.

Yes, I just got back to the Philippines and is still fresh from the airport.

Before I proceed with the day, I would just like to let you know that I’m still alive and eating. 🙂 And due to my recent trip to Kota Kinabalu, expect a number of Malaysian cuisine features for the upcoming months of November and December.

It would be as varied as the Malaysian spices. From the traditional Nasi Lemak (top right photo) to the local Potong Ice Cream.

You’ll also be seeing the Kota Kinabalu versions of common place commercial food establishments like McDo and KFC; and from their local favorite Chicken Curry to Itik Instant noodles (top left photos).

Gulp.

In a recent Jollibee Breakfast Joys breakout party, Jollibee introduced their new Sausage and Egg Pandesal with a surprise performance involving the members of the media.

It came as a surprise when fellow morning diners and strangers begun standing up, singing, and dancing. This was followed by media practitioners from print and TV. Then suddenly, fellow bloggers Eric, Arpee, and Ryan who were with us at the table, also broke out into a song and dance number.

The Jollibee Sausage & Egg Pandesal I was holding almost fell of my hand. However, naturally, I had to put it down for a while as my blogger instincts kicked-in and powered up my camera – I took pictures and a video of the once-in-a-lifetime chance to record a song and dance number by some of the most prominent food bloggers in the country. 🙂

Here’s the short video of fun and celebration :)  :
