Eating Out in Sabah: Kampung Nelayan Floating Seafood Restaurant


Nestled in Taman Tun Fuad just 10 minutes from Kota Kinabalu city is the Kampung Nelayan Floating Seafood Restaurant. Since opening its doors ten years ago, the restaurant has earned its reputation as one of the most unique dining experiences in Kota Kinabalu. The restaurant ‘floats’ on a pond and can comfortable seat up to 400 diners at a time.

The restaurant is particularly known for its fresh seafood, cooked to your preference. Among the favourites on the menu are the famous ‘kam heong’ crab (kam heong is a special paste, made of various condiments) and fried garoupa with sliced mango (if you prefer, you can request any other fish to be prepared in this style).

Simply mouthwatering is the shredded egg butter prawns – a delicious dish of prawns cooked to perfection, topped with ‘egg floss’ and creamy sauce. For dessert, you simply have to try the famed ‘coconut pudding’ – best served chilled! The best part is you can enjoy a hearty dinner every night while being entertained by a pulsating cultural performance.

For a more private affair, Kampung Nelayan also offers VIP rooms, ideal for personal functions such as wedding anniversaries, birthdays, engagement and full moon parties. The service here is commendable and the staff are always willing to go out of their way to ensure your dining experience is as flawless as possible. Fantastic ambience with a rustic touch, Kampung Nelayan offers the best of dining and entertainment under one floating roof!

Kampung Nelayan is located at Taman Tun Fuad, Bukit Padang, Kota Kinabalu. It is open daily from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm (lunch) and 6:30 pm to 11:00 pm (dinner). The cultural show takes place from 7:45 pm to 9:00 pm daily. Call 088-231003 / 231005 to make reservations. Visit www.kampungnelayan.com
