On our last day in Kinabalu city, my sister and brother in-law brought us for city tour and to taste the local famous food. Our first destination, a place to fill our stomach in the morning.
Fish noodles.
Tom Yam noodle soup.
“Giant Grouper soup.
If you are local or frequent traveler to Kinabalu, you should know this coffee shop that serves the delicious noddles.
Our next destination was Sutera Harbour Resort.
From the resort, we can see the Tungku Abdul Rahman National Park, established in 1974, consists of Pulau Gaya, Pulau Manukan, Pulau Mamutik, Pulau Sapi and Pulau Sulug. The pictures shows only 3 of the island.
This Sutera Harbour is a wonderful place you should pay a visit and to enjoy your holiday.
I believe this is a man-made beach specially for the hotel guests to enjoy.
Sutera Harbour Marina & Country Club with its berth for yacht.
The Pacific Sutera view.
Look at this swimming pool, isn’t it good if you can jump in now ?
Of course, why not have a picture with these friendly and lovely ladies ?
While on our way to next destination, we saw this Sabah Foundation Building, which was once created big news when the “spider man”, Alain Robert from French was trying to climb this building in year 1997.
When entering to the hotel’s lobby, I thought this could be a nice place to shoot for a picture.
Yes, it’s me but not at the lobby yet.
This view is simply just that beautiful and is at top of my list !
Of course, successful corporate guy would not want to miss this !
It was really a hot day. Although it has a nice beach but I still give the thumb up for Shangri-La’s Rasa Ria resort. See the picture that I have taken during my visit to there and you know why I say so.
But that does not mean at this Nexus Resort Karambunai, you can’t find a reason stay here. How about this Tropicana feel and nice swimming pool ?
Spotted these lovely flowers when we were about to leave.
A close-up shoot !
I do not know what is the name of this tree but according to my friend, this tree should not have the fruits on it. So, in case you know, please inform me. Thanks !
Another pretty flower.
Our final itinerary is a very exclusive lunch in Dongonggong. The name is very funny and again it would not be easy to locate this restaurant either if you are not local.
Steamed bean curd or we call it “Tofu” with pork meat.
Soup that was boiled with only Pork Bones, this was the last bowl of the day !
Noodle soup, of course with BBQ pork added in.
Kway Teow or Flat Noodle prepared with black sauce ingredients.
Pork meat cooked with black soya sauce.
Everyone seems busy to enjoy the lunch !
At the end, a picture should be taken to remember this “Mee Sup Pipin”. A house converted restaurant !
Yes, you have the street name but still can’t find it in Google Map.
Finally, time to say Sayonara to Sabah.
Wondering why this picture is here ? This 2 packs of groundnut had followed us from Giant Hypermarket in Kinabalu city up to Laban Rata rest house in Mount Kinabalu and then back to Kinabalu city again. My friends made specially arrangement to hire a porter to carry this 2 packs of groundnut during our climb to Mount KK. So, we thought these 2 packs of groundnut are worth much more than the price we purchased and the taste must be very different from those normally sell at ground level !
):))
We have learned a lesson….never bring too many junk food when you climb Mount KK ! :>>;D:P
Well, that’s all for my 5 days trip to Kota Kinabalu and Mount Kinabalu. Hope you have enjoyed the pictures that I took during my trip there. Welcome to contact me if you need any information regarding the Mount KK climb, I am not an expert in mount climbing but I hope we can share and learn from each other. We always live to learn, right ? Cheers !:)
