If you ask KKLites to have lunch or dinner at Kota Kinabalu Central Market, many of them will wink at you for even suggesting the place. For a long time now and for many of us, dirty, dark alley, hot and a very run down place are projected in our mind when thinking of or talking about the eateries on the first floor of Central Market. Some of us even swears not to go there ever.

But now all that has changed, and thanks to a Korean couples now we found a grade “A” restaurant right at the north end on the first floor of Central Market. The place was extensively renovated just a few months ago and it looks like something you see in Asian Food Channel (Astro’s programme) “Restaurant Makeover”. Starting with a new name, new design and look, air-condition, fully tiles, classy tables and chairs, plus a new menu on foods, everything here is brand new. Now is the time to revisit the age old Central Market and enjoy a good meal and posh atmosphere at this new restaurant, Opulence Point. This restaurant also has a good view of the fish market and the waterfront below.
