D'Place - A Taste of Local Delight

Hello dear @tasteem and food lovers out there. This week I would like to bring you to a restaurant located at Shell Plaza, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. D’Place Kinabalu is a Sabah Local Kadazan-Dusun restaurant specifically serves Sabah traditional delicacy.

It's open from Tuesday to Sunday at 11.30 AM to 9.00 PM.

The restaurant

The restaurant is decorated with bamboos, traditional Gongs and dried paddies that gives out Kadazan-Dusun atmosphere. It's a vision of old local traditional house made from dried tree leaves called Rumbia.

Here's what the entrance of the restaurant look like.

Walking inside the restaurant, you will be greeted by friendly waiters. On your left of the main entrance you can see an aquarium but don't be fooled for it's not a fish aquarium. It's for the live-moving Butod, a Sago worms.

Inside is neat and clean with attractive traditional deco. Tables and chairs all made from solid smooth woods arranged neatly for customers to use.

The Food

Here are the menus available for this restaurant.
