The Best Fish & Chips in Town

If you are in Kota Kinabalu, Pete's Corner is the place, numero uno for fish & chips sans vinegar drenched, salt sprinkled, newspaper wrapped. Lonely Planet must have missed out on Pete's Corner, not to Pete's loss though but more to those of us who are fish & chips afficionados.

What you will get at Pete's is freshly filleted fish coated with his 'secret recipe' (that's what Pete calls it) batter and bread crumbs a far cry from the run of the mill assembly run stuff that passes off for the Real McCoy! Mind you Pete does the early morning marketing himself. Fish from the warmer waters (read that as tropical) taste somehow a little better than those in colder waters - check that out!

How do you get to Pete's Corner? Pete's is at Asia City and it's at a corner, ask around, you wouldn't miss the place. Something more about Pete the man, a pleasant conversationalist be it in English, Malay or Mandarin, and if he's not in - he's around the corner. At Pete'a it's more than what's on the menu, you can talk to the man himself.

Take note though, business at Pete's is only from 7am till 4pm, Mondays to Saturdays.
