The Tipsy Asi - Eat and Fun at Top of the Hill Restaurant

Hello everyone 👧.

In the middle of Chinese New Year weekend, after visiting 2 of my relatives' houses, I spent some time with my Mum and @butwo at a famous attraction nearby their house. The place we visited was The Tipsi Asi a restaurant at the top of the hill located at Malatin Horse Hill, Penampang, Sabah.

This restaurant was famous for its sunset view and night life. However, when we arrived there, it was too early for sunset.

We visited our relatives' house without having lunch yet. Initially, I wanted to head straight inside the restaurant to have our late lunch first, but my Mum walked the other way. There was a white thing on the small hill that had attracted my Mum. She climbed that small hill and then yelled for me to take pictures of her.

After my Mum finished her fun on the small hill, we walked towards the restaurant location. There was some distance between going up the small hill and going back to the original location near the restaurant where we parked our car, so it was almost like exercising.

The restaurant is decorated with Chinese New Year decorations during the Chinese New Year period. We including my Mum were pleased and happy with the environment of the restaurant especially not noisy due to not many people at that time.

Inside the restaurant

My Mum approved this restaurant

While this restaurant's food and beverages are a bit expensive, it gets high ratings from social media sites for its meals. We ordered food that had been recommended by the majority of people on social media and the cheapest beverages.

The number 1 dish in this restaurant is Pizza Bambangan. As soon as we tasted it, we LOVED it. One set of Pizza Bambangan is not enough for 3 of us to share. It tastes like an upgraded version of Hawaii Chicken Pizza.

Luckily, this restaurant allows cashless payments as my purse does not have enough cash to pay for our meal.

No worry, we can pay cashless

We continued our exploration of the restaurant after we finished our meal. There are many decorations outside for customers to take photos.

The view below is what was mentioned on social media for sunset views. We just stare at this view and only see the sunset in our minds.

There's a mini zoo where you can see tortoises and dogs (no picture taken) only in the other zone. There is a hydroponic garden that just started by the restaurant.

It took us two hours to have fun including having a meal here. Maybe a little longer if we could wait for the sunset.

We will come again or welcome back later

That's all. Thanks for reading my post 🤗.
