Best (?) Locksmith in Kota Kinabalu.

This is reputed to be the best locksmith in KK (Kampung Air actually). If you need keys (especially car keys) copied, this is the place to go. I went there on 12 June to have some extra car keys made.

My PC power supply failed the next day and I couldn't do any posting for more than a week. That's the problem when the PC (an Acer M7720) manufacturer has the parts store in KL! I had to pay for the replacement power supply unit as it was 2 weeks past the 1 year warranty!!


The locksmith is the nice gentleman at the back. The young boy (perhaps his son?) was being taught by him on locksmithing.

Duck Hunting

Roast Duck Hunting, that is. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve and we are having dinner at my brother's place. So I'm hunting for a roast duck or two. I say hunting as many places are no longer selling roast duck to walk-in customers today. Practically all the production of roast ducks, roast chickens, roast pork, and char siu have been BOOKED!

No luck at Foh Sang. Crowded with "Last Minute Shoppers".


I next went to Kampung Air (It was a "Water Village" in the 60s!). But my favourite Roast Duck shop was no longer there. It was now the "Lavender Lodge".


Luckily the next door coffee shop still sells roast duck. I bought one (second one from the right!).


Not feeling fully satisfied, I went down to KK looking for "Kwong Tung Chai". It's the KK branch of a very nice roast meats shop from Inanam. Note all the "Booked" ducks and roast pork. So I bought one more. You can never have enough roast duck. I hope it keeps well in the freezer!
