Tepi Laut Makan Street
Makan Street captures the nostalgia of Malaysia’s heritage of simple food stalls set along street and open-fronted shop-house restaurants, each offering tempting flavours and a special glimpse into the cuisines of Asia. By day this beachfront restaurant is transformed into a Pool Bar offering Asian and Western snacks, finger food and refreshing drinks.
Kozan Teppan-yaki
Kozan’s interior echoes the minimalist aesthetics of a classical Japanese Teppanyaki Restaurant with an unconventional architectural design and finishes to give it a modern edge.
"Teppanyaki" is a style of cooking in which the chef prepares various sea foods, cuts of beef, chicken and fresh vegetables in front of the customer and cooks by grilling on a large iron hotplate called a "Teppan". In Japan "yaki" refers to ingredients that have been grilled, hence Teppanyaki. Kozan, meaning mountain in Japanese, is expressed in the logo as a calligraphic symbol of Mount Kinabalu, South East Asia’s highest mountain and Sabah’s most recognizable icon.
Coast Restaurant and Bar
Enjoy contemporary western cuisine in an inviting beachfront setting at this exceptionally designed, award-winning restaurant. At the heart of the restaurant is a marine-themed raised bar, offset by a stunning mural made from capiz shell and mother-of-pearl, and a set of shimmering, fibre-optic jellyfish chandeliers. The outdoor terrace offers an unrivalled place to toast the Borneo sunset with one of our specialty cocktails.
The restaurant also offers three private, thatched gazebos for a truly memorable beachside dining experience.
Hotchocspoons: Hot Chocolate on a Spoon
Hotchocspoons from the Chocolate Company in Europe are the perfect hot chocolate-making device: 50 grams of chocolate are melted down and then solidified with a nice, big wooden spoon inside for convenient stirring. They claim that they come in over 50 varieties, including ones that include a whisky or amaretto shot (genius), strawberry and pink peppercorn, a "kids only" with Smarties (similar to M&Ms), white chocolate, an 85% dark chocolate, and even a seaweed flavor. There are Chocolate Company shops in Luxembourg City, Aachen, Germany, and ’s-Hertogenbosch and Maastricht in the Netherlands, or you can buy them online, 20 hotchocspoons starting at €50.
