Sights & Landmarks
The Kundasang War Memorial is a tribute to the British and Australian military personnel who perished in the Sandakan POW Camp during World War II. The park features lush greenery, tranquil gardens, and a serene ambiance that provide an ideal setting for visitors to pay their respects. The memorial comprises four beautiful gardens that symbolize unity, peace, victory, and memory.
A Great Place to visit this place. What happened during WW2, back in 1940. Names of All the Great Defenders of North Borneo are displayed on the walls. Place well maintained. Do pay visit whilst in Kandasang.

One of the place to visit while having friends come over which is not local. Knowing the history of those war and what's the contribution that had been made and sacrifice and lead to what we have now. The facility seems like hardly being take care. Probably need more income to service and maintain.

A quiet war memorial sitting in the town of Kundasang. Location is easy to find. Place is well maintain with beautiful garden and flowers being planted inside. There is also a small souvenir shop selling handicraft in this memorial site.

Brought 2-61 year old to enter the place, unfortunately there is no exemptions of entrance fee for 60 above I don’t remember the toddler requirements. The monument are were closed. make sure to wear hat and bring umbrella while you explore them cause the place is an open area and no shades Restroom can be found besides the entrance Overall very educational.

I am not sure if the place is going for secret garden feel or haunted garden feel. There is an entrace fee of rm4 but place has an abandoned/ruin like feel. Leaves are everywhere, moss is abundant on the steps so it is slippery and the foliage tends to lean on the wild side. The flowering shrubs are not tended so do jot flower to their advantage. The picture shared here does not convey the muddiness feel of the fountain. All in all, not sure if it is worth the rm4 charge, but if you are a history buff or have fallen relatives here; sure why not visit?

We visited this war memorial that memorializes the death march in World War 2 where 2,400 British and Australian soldiers perished. Unfortunately the place is very poorly maintained despite a small entrance fee being charged. Those in charge need to do more to properly honour the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Kundasang War Memorial is located at the busy Kundasang market. Its basically a memorial garden for those armies who sacrificed during WW2. The garden was maintained through entrance fees and there is a sundry shop selling snack and drinks for you while in the peaceful hidden garden. Nothing much to explore other than some history monument.

Some areas were beautiful and some areas you wished you can lend your hands/ideas to make it more beautiful especially areas with flowers. It's a beautiful memorial war but its that just the limit you can do to beautify it? So simple? Please repair the seats. Make memorial war great again!

Garden style war memorial dedicated to 1800 Australian, and 600 British servicemen who had died in the Sandakan POW camp, and during the death marches between 1943 and 1945. Also to honour the locals who risked their lives to help the POWs. The place is a series of gardens, namely the Australian Garden, English Rose Garden, and Borneo Garden. The Contemplation Garden has marble plaques inscribed with the names of all who perished, and pond that cuts through a bunch of columns. Behind the Contemplation Garden is a lookout point with a good view of the surrounding area. Lots of greenery and flowers here. Also a souvenir shop and a small resting area with a collection of old photos. Malaysians pay a maintenance fee of RM4.

A sombre yet poignant reminder of the past. While the different adventure places of interest are the main draw in Kundasang, the memorial is a nice place to take a step back and remember the horrors of war and its heroes. Do visit and donate graciously to maintain the upkeep of the memorial.

War memorial with a lot of history and stories behind it. With engraved 1721 names of war heroes, this is a true history of war memorial. The garden kept of multi flower and statue of war facts. Good to add knowledge.

Desa Dairy Farm entrance is often compared to the dairy farms of New Zealand due to its cool climate, misty surroundings, and highland landscapes. The farm spans 199 hectares and produces a staggering 900,000 liters of milk annually, mainly from Holstein Friesians cows known for their exceptional milk production. Visitors can explore the farm at their own pace as there are no guided tours despite online ticket bookings.

Absolutely beautiful! Their washbasins' soap dispensers were all empty. Not much to do there other than look at calves and go to the viewing platform overlooking the milking. But the views surrounding the place are wonderful. They should have footpaths into the cattle grazing area.
Chia Zhi Jie — Google review
This is a nice place with beautiful view to enjoy the cattle from afar and up close depends on the cattle as they’re roaming freely within the fenced up meadow. The view with mountain backdrop is marvelous when the sky is clear during good weather. However, it is too crowded and rowdy with tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Having said that, it is an educational place for children and family outing with viewing platform for the milking process, etc. RM5 per entry for locals is reasonable. There is a cafe within the compound with simple food provided, such as fried rice, fried noodle, etc. There is also ice-cream made from the fresh milk from the cattle. Overall, it is reasonably a good place to visit for a short few hours, especially for family with kids.

It’s not exaggerating if I say this is Malaysian version of ‘New Zealand’. Well maintained and organized farm in terms of cleanliness and flow of visitors. The cool breeze, weather and scenery are breathtaking. We can witness mount Kinabalu peak nearest from this point. My favorite is calf feeding and petting zone in the farm. Free parking. Highly recommended if you visit Sabah.

If you want to see clear mountain view you need to arrive here around 7:00+ morning they open from 8:00 this time the mountain is clearly visible in the background but if it's raining then you're out of luck, around 9:00am the mountain start to be cloudy and no longer visible. I have visited this place several time, my very first visit is during my son age 2 years old and visited few time after that now my son already 16 years old when we come here again and we still enjoyed the beautiful scenery, buying newly packed milk ( I love chocolate and coffee flavour) and also eating gelato ice-cream. Come visit this place and have a wonderful memory with your children feeding and giving milk to the calf my children sure enjoying it.

It's a wonderful place that I always wanted to visit. I reached the location at 2pm and it's like in the morning. The cool air, peaceful environment. Everything is fresh there. I love the mountains behind. Highly recommend place to visit. Ps: be careful about the road, some places are not even. Drive safe

The scenery is breathtaking. But I hope the management can take some measures to improve the guide for activity. For example having clearer visuals or maybe a guide person to show people what to do over there. Otherwise we travel all the way there but not much activities except just eat the yogurt ice cream and also the agro activity of feeding cow milk and grass. Probably a big sign of what time is the cow milking activity etc could be placed. We wanted to see that but nothing there.
Kat Han Teng — Google review
The weather is nice and the ice-cream yogurt is not bad. The view is nice and apparently at certain timing you get to pet calfs. But beyond that there is nothing much to do, the smell of cow dung is very strong as well. So you might not want to visit if your nose is sensitive

A must visit place when you are in Kundasang! First of all, please buy the ticket first online to reduce your waiting time at the counter. RM5/session, choose the milking session if you want to see the up-close. I went for the earliest session and went there at 8 AM. Still plenty of parking during this time. Gelato is a must try, so does their fresh milk!
Irfan Hamdi — Google review
Nice place for family day. I went there near noon, hence unable to take the best shoot. The place is close to mountains Kinabalu and fresh air. The milk and ice cream is the best. Better than hokkaido milk I try in hokkaido. Hope can visit again.
Zhang LN — Google review
Beautiful concept of beautifying the farm with flowers and also having a taste of fresh milk and yogurt. I think our timing was not right because we didn’t see the milking of the cow. The place is very neat. Just about 3 Ringgit to enter. The ice cream was very nice especially the blueberry flavour
Missy Queen — Google review
A nice place to visit while at Kundasang Valley. Arrived during lunch time, hence Mt Kinabalu is no longer visible as a backdrop due to cloudy weather. Better to visit in the morning. Too bad many places were closed ever since the pandemic (milking bay, cattle barns.)

Worth a visit this interesting place as you will never thought Malaysia have such a place being in a tropical country. Farm with milk cow, and they did market their produce. Not sure if it’s true but psychological I felt the yogurt taste better up there.

Guess its the most visited place in Kundasang. Well maintained and managed place. Its crowded during the day. Be sure to go early. Enjoy Gelato, milk, yoghurt, cheese. Do remember to purchase the tickets online before visiting. The scenery was nice too at the area. You get to feed the cows.

My recent visit to Desa Farm in Kundasang was an absolute delight and marked my first proper encounter with a farm setting. This charming farm has swiftly become one of my favorite places in Kundasang, offering an immersive and memorable experience for both kids and adults alike. The highlight of my trip was the opportunity to get up close and personal with the cows, witness the farm's fresh produce in action, and even try my hand at milking cows. It was an educational and fascinating experience that left me with a newfound appreciation for the farming process. Desa Farm doesn't just provide a visual feast – the taste buds are in for a treat too. The frozen yogurt, milk, and yogurt produced fresh from the farm are must-tries. The quality and freshness are evident, making for a delicious and authentic farm-to-table experience. While the farm can get quite busy, especially with families and curious visitors, the staff efficiently manages the crowds, ensuring that the line for various activities moves swiftly. The bustling atmosphere only adds to the vibrant energy of the place. The farm is a gem for anyone seeking a unique and enjoyable outing. Whether you're interested in farm activities, tasting fresh dairy products, or simply soaking in the picturesque surroundings, this place has it all. Don't miss the chance to indulge in the frozen yogurt – it's a delightful way to cap off a wonderful visit!

It is advisable to purchase the entrance ticket online (RM5 per person) before you visit the farm. We arrived here at 8:30 am, and it was quite crowded. Fortunately, we managed to find a parking spot. Inside, there is a garden full of different types of flowers, which is perfect for photos. In addition to the flowers, there is a calf farm where you can feed the calves with a bottle of milk or grass, though there may be additional charges. The milk and yogurt are a must-try! I especially enjoyed the yogurt ice cream. We bought a few flavors of milk, and all of them tasted great. Overall, it's a must-visit place if you're in Kundasang.

Its nice to take some photos here and have a chance to interact with the baby cow. The staff is very very helpful and gave me a lot of information about the cow. MILKING PROCESS: worth to have a look. SCENERY: From here can see the top of the moutain kinabalu if its not cloudy. Many tourist coming here. SOUVERNIR: the cow toy is so much lovely. DESA CAFE: The croissants and the pizza from the Desa cafe are worse than I expected. They serve straight from the fridge. The cappucino and fresh milk are quite nice. The cheddar and camebert are okay. The viewing from the cafe is cool and relaxing
Lily — Google review
The picture looks better than the real place. I do hope my comments here would be read by the management because I think this place has good environment and there is so much they could have done to make the place more attractive. There was no proper guide and arrangement of how the visitor should have experienced. Although it was stated activities such as milk packaging, calf feeding etc. were available, we were quite lost of where we should go and what we should see. Viewing the milk packaging from a small viewing panel was definitely a disappointment. Please see how other countries have been doing for different types of museums/ products factory visit etc. They don't even have so much as what you have here but the experience had been great. The architecture and planning of the entire place definitely needs an upgrade. The cars were parked everywhere in the compound when they could have done so much with the place by encouraging people to walk and enjoy the potentially picturesque environment. I thought I'd spent at least 2 to 3 hours here, but 30 mins (including enjoying the ice cream and photos taking) were more than enough.

5 ringgit per entry is still cheap. Still have the nicest landscape view with farm and mount kinabalu. Plus, the cow is everywhere. Main buildings sell box milk from fresh milk, chocolate milk, coffee milk, and banana 🍌 milk. They also sell gelato and some pastry such as pizza and others. There is room to view how to extract cow milk. There's a place too where children and adults can feed hay and milk to baby cows. Very nice experience 👌.

Seeing so many good remarks here, I truly feel that we are unlucky. Many path ways were closed and we weren’t allowed to go in. Just got a chance to see the calves and feed them milk. Otherwise it was a good walk in a fresh and nice climate. Cafeteria can improve a bit as it was pretty empty and no much choices. We just had coffee and left.

Cooling weather as if you are in highland like Cameron highland. The scenery is superb but not many cows there than expected. There is heavy jam as the travel bus blocked the way but no staff can help to direct the traffic. Otherwise the yogurt flavor ice cream is nice.

Sosodikon Hill in Kundasang is a popular spot for a short and easy hike, suitable for people of all ages. The 1465 meters tall hill offers stunning views of the valley and Mount Kinabalu on clear days. It's recommended to wear proper hiking shoes due to slippery and rocky slopes. The trek is not advisable for those with knee issues. Visitors are advised to arrive early to avoid cloud cover obstructing the mountain view.
Beautiful hill and take less than 10 mins to reach the peak. Entrance fee cost RM5. Good to visit before noon, to get better view. Less cloudy, No fog nor no rain. For those newbie driver, do consider before you drive to this place.

First to comment is the drive. The road towards is a bit steep and non tarred. Bumpy as well. However, sedan car is still possible. Not really a hike. Just walk prolly 5-10min up. But the view is magnificent. Entrance fee for Malaysian adult is rm5. Bring an umbrella during sunny day, is quite hot without shades.

Wonderful little hike! We came on a weekday late morning last week of March, it was not crowded at all. Trail was rocky but really beautifully lined with flowering plants. The platform at the top was so fun and colorful, it was windy and cooling up there. The 360 view was amazing! You have to pay for the hike (RM10 per person for non-Malaysian) and pay extra if you want a certificate of completion.

We reached there at 6am and the sky is already bright but the sun is still hiding behind the mountain. By the time we reach the viewing platform the sun is out. I believe dawn is the best time to be there as there is not many visitors and you can catch the best sky light view very clear view of the mountain. The climb is slightly tough for veterans but was ok for me. Entrance fee of RM5 is really worthy for the view we catched. One of the must visit place in kundasang! To get there, follow Google maps or waze directions and park at the hill entrance. There’s a ticket booth right at the Carpark’s entrance. It’s a one way road, and the road heading back to town is a bit rough for small car. Just drive slow and enjoy the view!

The entrance fee is RM5 for Malaysians, and you have to pay at the counter to receive a visitor pass lanyard for entry. It is advisable to visit the hill in the morning. We arrived around 12 pm, and it was very sunny. We got sunburned even though we only stayed at the top for 15 minutes. It took us 10-15 minutes to walk up the hill. The view from the top is excellent and definitely worth a visit.

Reviews weren't wrong to say the road was sooo horrible, even the ride up for a low cc car was abit of a challenge but a beautiful ride nonetheless taking in the view of the valley and the mountain. Be warned to take the road on the left instead of the wooden bridge on your way in! The hike up was quite easy (around 500m it seems) and beautifully decorated with plants trailing up the hill. Good idea to hike early in the morning (say 7am or so) to catch the great mount KK and kundasang ✨ Must visit!

Beautiful view from the deck over the peak of Sosodikon Hill. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to catch the sunrise and the full view of Mount Kinabalu. The hike up was pretty easy, even for kids. The hike took us about 15 minutes. Recommended for any age group.

Get your hiking shoes on! If you are planning to climb Mt Kinabalu do come and do this short trek first. If you manage to go all the way up without any breathlessness then perhaps you are 10% ready to climb Mt Kinabalu. Not the safest of trek with a lot of missing steps and flimsy barriers. It is also located on top of a barren hill so I do suggest you don't go up if the weather looks like it is going to turn for the worse. There is no shelter up there to protect you from the rain and worse of all lightning. But the view is outstanding. Do go if you are semi fit and seeking a bit of danger and adventure.

I love it, the path is so easy even the elder can slowly climb it. Sadly, i didnt arrived there at the right time. So we couldn't see the kinabalu mountain. The road to get there was kind of steep. so beware 🤯 lastly, i personally think it is 10/10, better bring your camera, and go there when the mountain was not covered with cloud. Best time : 6:00 -7:00 am

Exceptional view, it is beautiful! Ensure to put on track shoes as the slope going up and down can be slippery and rocky. If you have knee issue, not recommened. Tickets can purchase there. There is no Queue or waiting time. Just be careful if you drive in to this place as the road is narrow. We went up estimated about 9am but it is too late to see the mountain view as it was covered by cloud. Didn't managed to go early as i have 1 infant and 1 kid with me to handle. If you would like to see the mountain view, please go over before 7am as advise by other reviewer.

At an elevation of almost 1,900m , Kundasang is the highest settlement in Malaysia, and among other things, it’s renowned for its fruit and vegetable market……..so a great spot to stock up on some amazing tropical fruit snacks. I’m also quite sure it’s the only place I’ll ever see giant cabbage statues adorning the roundabouts. Don't forget to snap photo and enjoy the fresh fruit and vegetables because it is really cheap.

Red durian @Kundasangmarket I will give the market place 4stars for variety and items sold from local rice from the hills, vegetables, unique fruits and plants. That would be a different post… This review is for durian. We were looking for specifically RED FLESH durian. Please don’t waste your money unless it is a MUST HAVE or on your bucket list. Wild durians were about RM3 a fruit at stalls at one of the rest areas as it has about 2 or 3 seeds a year back. That was 2021 🤔😱 This time, we tried the red flesh durian. Wasn’t even fully ripe and with only one seed! Inflated price indeed and not worth it. A total disappointment. The wild yellow orange one was better with a slight tinge of cempedak like flavour. Kampung durian taste better! This post is for durian lovers ya…

The whole landscape, the whole building is very aesthetic worthy and when the full Mt Kinabalu is in the view, it's really pretty and majestic to look upon while enjoying your foods at this restaurant. Pricing wise, yeah, its $$.

Simple restaurant beside Kundasang main road. We went there for steamboat at night but no steamboat by then time we went. There were decent number of local dishes and got deserts also. Food taste was okay. The restaurant was simple, large and clean. Price and service was okay. Overall was average. Those who come at night must be careful since the road is very dark and no street lights.

Great breakfast spot with mountain view. They can put pictures of every menu so we know the quantity of food we order. Pumpkin cake taste good & recommended. Nasi Lemak rice bit dry. Bit pricey.

Salam 3 Syawal! Hehe. The view is superb! Went on sunset, beautiful cloud. Clean restaurant. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Have outdoor seating like in my photo. I cant believe i never singgah here, glad i did. Beautiful place. However, the chocolate cake with fresh cream is not tasty. Sorry. Forgot to ask which is their signature cake. Will try again!

Our favourite place for gathering and chilling. Very nice views and atmosphere. Ample seating , have privacy and comfortable while chatting. A bit disappointed with the steamboat price and ingredients, as the price is a bit expensive but less ingredients are provided. The taste of the soup was also different from the last time we’ve tried, much spicier.

Scenic Views, Subdued Flavors. Our stop at Puteri Nabalu in Kundasang, Sabah, offered both delightful scenery and culinary letdowns. After a long drive from Kota Kinabalu, the limited menu left us wanting more. The food, possibly affected by Kundasang's high altitude, erred on the bland side, which seemed uncharacteristic for a country known for its bold flavors. My father's grilled chicken rice set, with its eye-catching purple rice, lacked the zest we expected. I opted for the fried rice set, a surprisingly dull dish for Malaysia's renowned cuisine. Mom's fried bihun was decent but begged for more seasoning. Service was efficient but unremarkable. Prices, however, felt steep given the subdued flavors. We wondered if these mild tastes catered to Western tourists not accustomed to Sabahan heat, possibly disappointing those seeking authentic local flavors. On a positive note, Puteri Nabalu provides an incredible backdrop of Kundasang's highlands and Mount Kinabalu. The restaurant boasts clean restrooms and ample parking. If you're there for the view, it's worth a visit, but for a true Sabahan food adventure, you may want to explore other options in the area.

Nice and cosy place to hang up, big place, very nice esp Dusun Kadazan menu where u can taste and halal. Reasonable price with nice cosy place in small town area.

Good food and drinks. Three stars for atmosphere, too many flies- they could work on that little bit. Food is 5 star and service is 3 star. You can get good size iced drinks (700 ML) which isn’t common around.

Full stars for the amazing food & waitress 🌟 Our first time eating here, been wanting to try based on the reviews. We ordered the bestseller local cuisine : Linopot Daging Salai Lada Putih & we were starstrucked ! We also ordered : Nasi Goreng Ayam Butter Kering & Sambal Terung. Everything were delicious 😋 The service was fast. 3 dishes, 3 drinks = RM45. Wouldn’t mind spending a bit for amazing food because they were worth it 👍🏻 Highly recommended if you’re Kundasang

Surprisingly good food located high up in the mountainous region of Kundasang. All the items ordered were great & yummy (set of purple rice with daging salai masak lemak cili api, veggie, sambal terung & nasi goreng with chicken salted egg). Not a big restaurant but definitely worth the visit. Should try if you happen to be around the area.

Very tasty food, a must eat Sabah cuisine when in Kundasang. Although there were many flies in the restaurant, but we didn’t have stomach ache afterwards. Probably because food was freshly cooked

Some might think price a bit high but the standard quality fit the price nicely. Saw many pp queuing waiting for table when arrived at 1.30pm. Service was good and well packed for take away. It was full house and everyone seems enjoying the food. Eating atmosphere was great! Try it!

Good place to experience local Sabahan food. Linopot comes with a generous portion of rice. The veggie is too salty for my liking. Downside: lots of flies within the vicinity.
Canace Teoh — Google review
Great variety of local food if you want to try, especially linopot (purple rice wrapped in leaf). Staff are kind and patient with smiles on their faces. The food was tasty but the biggest con is that there are many flies at the restaurant. This is typical given that it’s a farming area but just something to be aware of if you’re uncomfortable with that. It also might be difficult to find parking during peak meal times.

One of the best restaurant in my kundasang trip! They serve the best local food here. It’s so delicious and the staff is so friendly! The MUST visit place if you visit kundasang. Strongly recommend to order the purple rice !👍🏻

In terms of the food & beverages, this restaurant serves a traditional Sabahans’ cuisine which is affordable, delicious and tasty as well! Not forget the appetising grilled chicken wings dipped with its sambal for visitors to try. Great services from the staffs, soft spoken and always giving their best smiles. As for the atmosphere, I still not sure enough but for the average, most of the places, restaurants and cafes around Kundasang faces the same thing, which is the presence of flies in a huge amount that need to be coped ASAP. But overall is great! Thumbs up RSK & the team!

Selera Kebun serves traditional native styled Sabahan food. Firstly the service....the server who took our order was fast, efficient and full of knowledge. She took the time and effort to explain the dishes on the menu, how its cooked and a good explaination of the local produce used in the dishes. The wait for our order was short...around 15 mins. The food was traditional and absolutely delicious! Ordered the linopot ayam salai masak lemak, linopot ayam tumis lada and sayur kampung. Each dish had a varied flavour profile which was very tasty and the portions were big. Price wise i would say it was not expensive.....3 dishes and 2 drinks only came up to RM48. I could not recommend this place more. For those who would like to try authentic local fare, this is a good place for it!

When in Kundasang, make sure to visit Ayam Madu Wak Ali for their famous BBQ Honey Chicken Wings. These wings are marinated with a generous amount of honey, creating a delightful and flavorful experience for your taste buds. The secret recipe and perfect grilling process result in unmatched roasted chicken wings that are both delicious and crispy.
The best ayam madu ! So delicious. Will come back here again for sure!

Food very good & delicious. Service is very good & quick. I preferred to take away, cause it's need to eat in massive way.. I mean, we can eat with both hands .. it's as our own style... The great thing about this Ayam Madu Wak Ali is the sauce.. we can't get anything like it anyway .. The sauce is so delicious and so hot ... I'll give 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I don’t really enjoyed eating ayam madu but this, is exceptional! RM3/piece of the chicken wings, RM1.50/piece for the chicken satay Pros - Perfect dipping sauce for the ayam madu and satay, perfect recipe for the ayam madu Cons - Limited seats for dine in, other kind of food is so-so (had nasi goreng ikan masin but was bland in taste), limited parking

THE LOCATION HAS CHANGED. Not in pekan kundasang but not that far also - 650m from the old address. It’s by the road side towards kampung sinsiran. Just a small stall next to a restaurant. It’s quite delicious and well cooked but not a massive loss if you skip. I person should eat 5 wings at least. It’s not so meaty

The actual location is north west from here. It doesn't have the name Wak Ali on the sign board anymore but they still sell ayam madu. Very good, very delicious, have to order yourself from the stall selling ayam madu then they send it to you in the restaurant 👍 Big portion, affordable price, good for local.

Loved the unique dining experience. You have to pay RM 5 for the tickets but when you pay for the food, the RM 5 will be deducted (so it works as a voucher basically). The buses are air conditioned as well! And guess what, the food was good too! The service was also on point.

New experience, great ideas and concepts. Loving the atmosphere sitting lavishly in the old but modern modified buses. They served Western food & some local drinks too. The entrance tickets can be exchanged with food, accordingly. By the way, enjoy the bus slide to add to the fun. Great for photo taking and taking short breaks in between Ranau and Kundasang town.

Not having a good experience here. 1. RM5 of ticket price is charged for every single person. 2. The menu includes a few kind of food only. 3. We have to wait for seats downstairs and the weather is super duper hot. No aircond. 4. There's a metal based slide for kids, but its sooooo hot. 5. Inside the bus, I feel like I'm in a sauna room. The aircond is just blowing the table in front of it. Other seats are just so hot. 6. The food is not good, but not bad. Just average. Really don't recommend eating here, taking pictures and normal check in might be ok

Interesting place to dine in actually. It's inside a bus. Yes you've heard it. They had actually modified the buses and made it into a restaurant. Food wise, sorry to say that I've had better elsewhere. It looks amazing but my taste buds doesn't convince me to have a second thought of ordering for more. If you just wanna experience dining inside a bus. Do head to this place. It's clean by the way. Kids will love it just like I do. Take as many pictures to make your trip more memorable.

Quite a unique place within this district. Food is nice and so are the drinks. Black pepper beef rice bowl is worth the value, large portion of rice and tasty beef. I forgot to mention that you need to pay for entrance but the bus ticket can redeem for the food you ordered . Note : halal

Unique place, glad we found it as we stayed near by in a resort up the hill. It was an accident and we could easily miss it. Simple kitchen, didn’t like their chicken bolognese and chicken rice was ok. Good drinks though and very nice service. The atmosphere totally covered it up!great view, especially in the evening when they turn on the lights and the clouds are coming down the hill. We loved this place and hope to find more places like this on our next journeys.

You need to buy tickets at the entrance, RM5 per person but you can redeem the tickets afterwards, ordering your food at the counter and will be given the bus number. Outdoors sitting also available. Creative and unique concept! Food choice was ok. Taste was decent. Service was fast. Parking space was ok. Quite limited if a lot of customers. Clean, plenty of restrooms available.

Nice ambiance here and good place to chill and chit chat with friends. The spaghetti and onion ring is nice while the teriyaki beef rice and burger is not so juicy. Need to pay RM5 / pax for entrance fee and it can be waived if you order the food here. Otherwise RM5 is for you to come in and take photos.

2.5 stars overall. Spaghetti was a little under cooked. Mushroom soup taste like ordinary canned soup. Beef burger portion was decent and good value with sunnny side up, beef bacon and a generous patty. There were several buses.

The atmosphere here is definitely good however there are flies in the dining area (closed area with air conditioning). The food was terrible tho. Had mixed vegetables aglio olio but what was served was pasta fried with soya sauce 😲 same to the teriyaki chicken aglio olio. The mushroom soup with garlic bread was not bad. The portion was big and edible. Cheesy wedges were normal cheesy wedges, nothing much to comment about

Beef burger is not bad but the accompanying fries were sadly cold. Chicken wings were tasty though! Yam shake is not ice blended but rather just a yam flavoured drink with vanilla ice cream on top. It’s a pity the staff didn’t let us open up the window blinds. So it’s basically just dining in the bus without mountain view.

This is a Muslim Chinese Restaurant meaning Chinese-style food patronised by Muslims. They have a variety of popular Chinese dishes including dim sum (pork free, of course). Ordered prawns, squid, chicken, brinjals and vegetable soup for 5; cost RM108. It can be quite crowded for dinner and slow service is expected. I would rate 4 stars for taste, 4 stars for price, 3.5 stars for service, and an overall 4 stars.
