Sabah, Malaysian Borneo » Entertainment » Restaurants

Malaysia is a multicultural society, so along with the local Malayan food, cuisines of various ethnic groups are also available. Prices at these restaurants depend upon the location (whether it is 5 star hotel restaurant or a beach side small café) and the menu. Being a coastal state, Seafood is the most preferred cuisine in Sabah. You can get to pick up live fish from tanks and get it cooked in front of you. Other than seafood, other indigenous groups like Chinese, Japanese, and Indians also have their own restaurants. Inter continental food is well accepted and one can find Italian and Latin restaurants. Sabah offers both types of restaurants, inexpensive ones, which offer tasty food at a throw away price to the expensive ones where the menu and service is just right.
