Hot Cross Buns in Kota Kinabalu

Hot Cross Buns in Kota Kinabalu!? Not exactly but near enough and tasty too. The Western palate can be a little fastidious when it comes to local fare, unless one's innards can go native at an instance but that's more likely the exception than the rule!

If you've no qualms about sitting in a kedai kopi (local cafe) knowing that an orang puteh (white person) is likely to stand out in the crowd , then you ought to give this kedai kopi a runover.
Got to tell you though, that this joint has no sign board but it's not too hard to locate. It's diagonally in front of Jesselton Hotel on Gaya Street - if you're standing with your back to the front entrance of the hotel, it is to your left across the street, by the way there is a tattoo parlour on the first floor above. Don't confuse this joint with the one next door which has an overhead sign board.

You can't really miss the array of 'Baked Buns' & 'Steamed Buns' displayed - the price lists are prominently posted. Indulge yourself! Yes the baked buns does agree with the Western Palate!
