Salam alaik!
It’s been a long time since i’ve written a blog post..kinda a rusty..hehehee...anyway, sorry for laying low for this past week.i went for a holiday with my parents to SABAH.yup that’s right, the land beyond the wind!
So, we’ve arrived at Sabah in the morning and went to the hotel to check in. We stayed in GAYA CENTRE HOTEL. It’s a nice hotel. The service is good, the breakfast was omg amazing..hahaa..alright, after that, we went to Suria Sabah, a shopping centre justin front of the hotel. See?that hotel really is awesome. The hotel is strategic since it’s located near suria sabah, Filipino market, centrepoint, jesselton point etc.
Back to the point, at suria sabah, we tried hot plate noodles.not bad if u ask me.here’s the pic
yee mee hot plate noodle RM 5++
Left> hot plate rice RM 5 ++
Right> i don’t remember the name but the taste is quite good. Price RM6.50
Didn’t i tell u about the breakfast in the hotel? Well, the breakfast menu is just like any other hotel but there’s no cereal section. And the pastries are not varied either. but overall, the menu is ok i guess.
From left to right> kuew tiaw goring, sunny side up, baked beans and sausages, rending daging, orange juice, salad
From l to r >toast (guys, try to eat rye/wheat bread, since it’s much more healthier that the white processed ones), cucur udang, pudding, fruits
Attractions in Sabah
We went to the MARKET saw a LOT of dried fish and all. look at the pics
That is GAMAT
I told u there’s a lot of dried fish
ROAR!!!
There’s also the FILIPINO MARKET. For pearls. Need i say more? Haha
RM 20. J
Mom bought that one.and LOTS more.
hahaa..coz it’s q
uite a affordable.
And then, there’s the SEAFOOD. Man, let me tell u, sabah is a haven for seafood lovers.
Can u imagine eating THIS everyday?
yup people, LOBSTER, FISH
and everything in between.
What is that green thing u ask?
Honey, it’s seaweed. Add chilli and belacan, u’ve got u’re self a sambal belacan, sabah style.
Weeeeee
Sabah is also known for SNORKELLING and DIVING activities. My dad and i, we tried the former since it’s much more cheaper (u just need goggles and life jackets, flippers are optional) and we both CANT swim. (Hence, the life jacket). If u want to dive, u have to take a diving a lesson.ahh,maybe next time. And the fee is quite expensive too. Bu
t snorkelling was fun!!!my mom was having a hard time with the goggles so she has to be the camerawoman(pity) but me and dad, huh, we were pro i tell u, PRO! But of course, the life jacket must be on..hehhh.. As far as i know, the main island attractions are pulau Gaya, Pulau Mamutik, Pulau Manukan, and Pulau Sapi.
The instructor tried to take us to deeper waters but my dad declined. However, being an adventure seeker (as if), i asked the instructor to take me there. He took me and i was not sorry. The view was .....BEAUTIFUL!..lots of fishes, coral reeves and oth
er sea creatures. I found Nemo or if i’m not mistaken, a clown fish and star fish etc.
Left>star fish
Those are fishes, not some bacteria ok
Hehehee
For other places, u can go to kota kinabalu park, kundasang (to buy some veggies like broccoli and cornflower), poring hot springs (take a soak in the hot springs) etc.
Well, i can tell u loads more but maybe u’ll get bored..huhu..if u wanna go to sabah, i suggest make it a week long holiday. Or at least a 4 day holiday because there’s a lot to explore in sabah. U cannot do it all in just 2 days. And try to find a hotel that id close to the jetty. Like the one i stayed for example. u can go to many places by foot. U don’t need to hire a taxi or rent a car.
Ok, thats all from me!
cheers
