A popular kopitiam in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah is among dozens of restaurants and dining establishments included in the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2021 unranked list, Essence Of Asia. The list, released this week, is a new category under Asia's 50 Best Restaurants that complements its main list. It features a collection of "local-hero" restaurants from the continent. According to the website, the collection is meant to "... recognise establishments that represent the spirit of Asian gastronomy and those that have had a positive impact on their communities and local cuisine, whether during the recent crisis or over a sustained period." There are at least two restaurants listed under each country; Malaysia has four, which includes Kedai Kopi Yee Fung in KK, known for its Sabah-style laksa.

8 parks to visit in Singapore besides the Botanic Gardens
Whoa, did you know that tiny Singapore actually has 300 parks and four nature reserves? Now that you do, get out of your air-conditioned cocoon and make a date with good ol' Mother Nature. 1. Toa Payoh Town park Built in the 1970s, this used to be the venue for wedding and convocation photos. These days, residents living in the area come here for their morning tai chi and foreign workers gather in the open spaces on weekends.
