I made it mandatory to bring my family for annual family trip since my dad passed away in 2008. It could be local or overseas depending on the budget and if I can get cheap airfare.
I manage to book a trip to KK for 3 pax at RM187.00 which to me was a bargain (included breakfast and luggage and seat) last year. A decision to bring mom and brother there as they have never been to East Malaysia.

Such a lovely skyview from the plane window.KK town is relatively easy to move around and mom and bro manage to entertain themselves shopping (What? shopping in KK?) and catching the beautiful waterfront sunset there while I go off to see my collegues.
I went to the famous Fook Yuen for their ever famous Roti Kahwin no, not the Damai branch but the one in next to the Sabah Tourism. Didn't like the toasted roti kahwin. The normal one is just heavenly.. soft bread, kaya and slice of butter. I like it so much that I bought the loaf of bread home on my last day.
There is a famous restaurant next to the hotel that I am staying Kinabalu Daya Hotel. The restaurant is call Fatt Kee but then you can see the whole restaurant under Ang's Hotel Signboard. The Oyster Garlic sauce chicken wing is their signature dish. I like it very much. Decided to order the ever famous Sabah Veg and this has become my newfound fav veg. The teowchew style Sek Pan Fish is good too. Fresh and yummy but then the sauce is a little to thick for my liking.
I pre-book a day tour (during MATTA fair)to Kudat on the 2nd day. The highlight of my trip was to see the tip of Borneo. Bro's friends say that it crazy to go 3hrs just for the view and back. I think it's worth it. I do so enjoy the view. The tour include Bee farm,Gong making and Rungus longhouse. Only thing is we didn't get to see gong making as someone died in the village and for 15days there would not be gong making and hitting of gong. I love the coolness of the longhouse and the simple lunch provide is delicious. Fresh grown vegs and ayam kampung. Some of the veg I have no idea what it is but it taste so fresh and good.
The view before reaching tip of Borneo. I reach there at 2pm and it was really hot but the cool breeze made me want to stay till sunset. Unfortunately I can't as I got 3hrs drive back to KK on a bumpy road.
Arrive KK town from Kudat at 6pm and decide to watch sunset at Waterfront and then to Selera Kg Air (SEDCO) for a seafood dinner. Not that cheap but it is fresh. I think the best dish I like is actually the coconut pudding (RM12). I will just go there for the pudding only, the seafood better eat out of town ie in penampang.
The 3rd day we woke up late, walk around Gaya Street Sunday market, bought mom a pario as it is Mother's day and went to Manukan Island. Just spend 2hrs of facing the sea, eating ice-cream and getting lovely sea breeze... such relaxing time. At last got to get back to KK town as I got dinner appointment.
My friend's hubby, Robert is so nice to bring us out for breakfast in Damai on our last day in KK. Went for the ever famous Mix fish noodles. According to Robert, it is norm for KK people to have Mix fish or mix beef or pork noodles for breakfast. My first fish 'chap' noodle. Ok soup not that fishy as the soup has chinese celery and tomates. Fish also fresh. Yummy.
Had a late lunch of Pork noodle and the off to the airport. Not bad. I like it better than our Subang Jaya ever famous pork noodle. I guess Robert is right, to sample all KK food I will have to make another trip to KK. 
So glad mom and bro enjoy this trip. Let's hope next year's annual family trip will be better especially it is with naggy mom.
