asked the Sabahan here

islands - Pulau Manukan or Pulau Sapi or Pulau Mamutik (personally i prefer Pulau Sapi, u can get ferrying boat from sea port)

mont climbing - u need 3 days/2 night at least b'coz u need to climb early next morning. 2 hours trip to kundasang. ---> climd to laban rata ---> next morning (peak)

hotels - there are a lot of good budget hotels around KK town but the most convinient u could try capital hotel or Api2 hotel (walking distance to everywhere. tune hotel also not a bad choice but far)

food - plenty but here is my recommendations

1) beef noodle (local speciality) - LOI KEE, Luyang Foh San Yen)
2) seafood - HOI WONG SENG (besides Promanade Hotel)
3) fish head noodle - near Satelite town (karamunsing)
4) should try out Gaya Street u can find plenty of food there.
5) Rest. Melaka - near Sinsuran for authentic Nyonya food,

till then

cheers!!!

Did you actually climb to the peak of Mt. KK? I'm afraid I'm not so fit to do so.haha.
I'm only going in December but planning ahead. Is tune hotel comfortable?is there any fan? as we've to pay extra for the air cond right?
If it's comfy, then I'm going to book first as it's only RM 40++ including tax. I'm also afraid that the hotels will hike up the room rates as I'll be there during peak season- end of the year.

Do I get to find this food everywhere? or only certain places?any good seafood in KK?
Is Tune Hotel very far?how far? any public buses?

Tune Hotel is not that far but very much inconvinient.

the food i introduced is basically the place i mentioned. stay in KK town itself so u will be "movable"

i hate public buses in KK not organized and not comfortable. take cab will do.

should organize more site seeing trip. good & cheap!

I have some credit left in Tune Hotels. Probably can you do me some favour by letting me book for you, so then I give you personal discount on the hotels... Cos I can't take the money out. PM me or call me asap. It's expiring today.

I reached the summit, before I died. Hehe. It really depends on your health condition and your stamina.

during my school days i had reached the peak 5 times. u need to warm up ur body before climb and do take chocolate during ur climb.

but frankly, year end at KK is a holidays season for Hong Kee and Taiwanese. rather packed better booked everything earlier.

if ur guys want, i can get my sister to help up. she owns a travel agents over there.

i been to the peak for 5 times, anything?

u can do it in 2 day / 1 night. but tiring... maybe u just pay a day visit to kundasang.

hope u have a wonderful to Sabah "the land below the wind"
