AHHHH!!! Nigel is trying hard to hit the GONG~


After we had our breakfast, we check-out. Then we left the resort and headed to our next destination. Oh lala! Traveling around just fun! More picture!!! Yeay!!!

While on our way to our destination (Secret), we stopped at this place where they sell lots
of fresh fruits and vege at a very cheap price! Vege Spree~

HeHeHe! This is where we were heading to from the start!
Introducing you the 'Kundasang War Memorial'

Let me tell you more about this War Memorial Garden kays... According to the history, during World War 2, the Japanese soldier made the Australian (some important feller) to walk from Sandakan to Kundasang in total of 265 km without TAKING A BREAK, NO STOP AT ALL. WHY? Just to open/lead way for the Japanese soldier to walk/march all the way from Sandakan to Kundasang. Few of the Australian died during the way from Sandakan and Kundasang. They called it 'Slow walk through HELL' and 'Sandakan Death March'. So this Kundasang War Memorial Garden/Park is a place where they build to remember the Australian. It's very sad to know that the Japanese soldier were so cruel.



After visited the War Memorial, we proceed to another tourist attraction spot! It's the place where hiker start to climb for the Mount Kinabalu till the middle of the mountain and take 1 night rest then continue to climb in the morning at 2am to reach the peak and see sunrise.

They burn and hangus-kan their coconut wei! It actually taste good with a
very aromatic burnt smell. HeHeHe.

This is how it looks like when the burnt part is chopped off.

They grill it to cook it. Woot!!! More Hangus-ish food to eat~

They serve it with homemade chilli sauce...


We also visited our friends who is living in KK and we went over to their fruit farm as well. It HUGE!!! They have this fruit that called 'Bread Fruit' and they slices it to deep fried... Taste like bread buy look like potato chip. Something that I didn't see b4 in KL.
