Makan-makan in KK (1) Hinompuka

After days in Kota Kinabalu, we finally got a taste of KK. I had enough of hotel and "globalized food" (food packaged the same all over the world).

Our first break came today through the introduction of Jeanne- thanks! It a little cafe located in Donggongon called "Hinompuka". Hinompuka is a delicious-gooey Kadazan cake made of glutinous rice wrapped in banana leave. For more about delicious dish, check out here.

DIRECTIONS: Bus 13 from KK to Penampang will end at Donggongon. The mall is in between the tamu (market), near the KFC.
