Salut Seafood Restaurant
Travel along Jalan Sulaman highway, after some 20 to 30 minutes from Kota Kinabalu City, one is going to pass by Salut seafood restaurant. Since it is quite out of the way for us KK Lites, this seafood restaurant is like a hidden gem. The price of seafood here is much cheaper compare with the other big seafood restaurants in the city. Tourists can get here by taxi, no buses come up to this place yet. Taxi from KK to Salut costs RM 60 one way, and Taxi from Rasa Ria Resort to Salut costs RM 30 one way.
look out for these Giant Clams
With these giant clams lining up the entrance of Salut Seafood Restuarant, surely this is good Feng Shui. Good Feng Shui equals Good fortune, an ancients Chinese’s believe. Here the good fortune is translated into real life too, as Salut Seafood Restaurant has grown from a small outpost restaurant with some 20 tables to about 100 tables restaurant now. Yet it still maintains the simple out look of it humble beginning, hence the continue of the cheaper price.

deep fried crunchy crabs
Very tasty, one can even eat the crab outer layer body, it is very crunchy. One must eat them immediately when the crabs are served, wait too long the crunchy bite would have gone. 1 kg is about RM 50.
sweet and sour crabs
Sweet and sour sauce is a very popular cooking style found all over Malaysia, and not only does it cooks well with crabs, it also is a great sauce to cook with chicken, fish, and meats. The best way to eat this sweet and sour crabs is with our bare hands, much more flexible than any other tools, and we can lick off all the extra sauce that stick on our hands, yummy.

There is no English Menu or even a menu at Salut Seafood Restaurant, but the captain assures me that they can handle English speak customers. Go for simple and tasty dishes like the steamed fresh prawn, the butter prawn, the crispy crabs, and the steamed fish. One just can’t go wrong with these.

Normally the dry spell is from mid March to the end of May. By June rain is a much awaited occurrence. Weathers is a bit strange these days, so can’t do much with prediction, normally in June until September terrain rain is expected from 3pm to 6pm, but not everyday. Like 3 to 4 days in a week.

hi how to get from kk to salut ya..a bit blur with directions..:)
July 1st, 2008 at 1:33 am
Use Jalan Sulaman to Rasa Ria Resort, signboard showing the direction to Rasa Ria Resort is easy to spot, and Salut Seafood Restaurant, on the left side, is not far after passing the many small huts along Jalan Sulaman, that sell burn coconuts and coconut pudding. Hope this will Help!
