Traditional cuisine at The Place

Last night dinner on Day 8 of our training in Human Rights was marvelous. We have our dinner at The Place, Kota Kinabalu. The food served in buffet style so you can eat as much as you can and it only cost RM45.99 per pax.

Known locally as Butod, Sago grub or Sago Worm is delicasy. You can recognise Butod by its creamy yellow color. This fat worm is rich in protein. To those who dare to eat it, it can be eaten alive!, grill or fried.
