Travel Fair

Friday, 20 August 2010

It is a good place and time to collect travel information of different places, and read/use them when you are travelling to that place.

I forgot which ethnic group these respective traditional costumes are from! Anyway, they are beautiful.

Orang Utan (direction translation - people of the forest) - Apes that you can see at Sepilok, Sandakan. Sepilok is a wildlife tourist centre, a rehabiliation centre to the apes there.

Giant Mug and Avocado Milk Shake

My friend ordered the Avocado milk shake and was served with a big mug that ended up shared by the 3 of us. I like it.

Tamu Donggongon

I enjoyed visiting this market, which is only on Thursdays and Fridays. Lots of fresh vegetables and all other kinds of food and items.

Kota Kinabalu - Food Paradise

Tuesday, 17 August 2010

This was what I ordered for breakfast: nasi lemak - truly Malaysian dish!

Mike ordered for country style western breakfast. And of course being in the East it is different from what the West served, based on what is available locally. For people who have not tasted the west, they would think this is how western food is like and they might probably love this dish!

Someone took us to a seafood restaurant that night and I enjoyed the freshness of the seafood. It was also cheaper compared to other seafood restaurants in town.

You would think I would register the name of the restaurant in my head since I enjoyed their food so much. I can't remember the name of the restaurant but I know where it is located.

Sabah Museum

Made a mistake. Should have gone there earlier instead of getting there with only less than 2 hours to closing time, but nevertheless enjoyed the visit.
