The Discovery of Sabah - Kota Kinabalu (Part 1)

HELLO EVERYONE!!! I'M BACK FROM KK!!! MISS ME??? HAHAHA~
I was away from Kuala Lumpur for 4 days since Friday... as u all know, I'm heading to Kota Kinabalu for a trip... Finally I'm back on Monday and I misses KK so much now.
Woke up 7am in the morning on Friday and head to airport, the journey to airport was boring but nevertheless I was excited on reaching the airport. Reached the airport around 8.30am and then proceed to check-in and those "Ma Fan" procedures... My flight was at 9.30am and It takes 2 1/2 hours to reach KK (Thank god there's such thing as MP3 if not I would be bored to dead) but then there's shinny sky and formless cloud to watch... Around 12pm i reach KK airport and we proceed to Marina Court Resort Condominium where we will be staying to check-in. The Condo consist of 3 room with 2 bathroom, Living Hall and a Kitchen, below are some pictures of the Condo.

One of the bedroom which is MINE~ =)

LUNCH TIME!!! We went to Grace Point The City's Secret Garden (FOOD COURT) to have our lunch and surprisingly the place is cooling and relaxing, The place there is so clean unlike the food court in KL... I had my very first plate of food which is a Sabah cuisine, some some fried fish with honey with some special rice and It was yummy! Few pictures to let you see the environment of their food court.





After lunch, we decided to go for a city tour! Oh lala~ I discover that Sabah dislike traffic light... HAHAHA! Why? Most of the 4 point junction are not controlled by traffic light... Guess what??? It's roundabout!!! I guess this save up alot of time for the traffic police to maintain their traffic... LoLs! During city tour we went to Bukit Bendera and on top of the mountain you can see the KK town... Check out the pictures

Top of the world~

Is that it? Of course NOT!!! We also visited the Heritage Village (Kampung Warisan), It's one of the place where they preserve the Kampung-ish looking place for the culture of the Kadazan race in Sabah... There's variety of house over there, like Murut Long House (Rumah Panjang Murut), Lotud House (Rumah Lotud) and many more... Yeay!! I get to be one of the native there! HaHaHa!! Let's go Jakun-ish~


We also visited the Museum of Sabah which is damn cool! They have this BIG BIG SKELETON OF A WHALE! The bones were actually injected with some medicine to preserve it... according to the history, this whale is found dead by the beach or sea side of Sabah and they decided to keep the bones ONLY! There's no picture showing the dead whale.. Which still leave me with curiosity... Check out those pictures!

The skeleton of a Whale...

Rolls Royce... First time seeing this car....
My mum said that only the road tax
will make you go bankrupt.

*Sorry, I wasn't able to snap photos inside the Museum due to camera are restricted.

Coming to an end... but a lil' more kays?? Haha.. Sorry for being draggy. Right! Last but not least we also had our yummy dinner in Gaya Seafood Restaurant. The total bill cost us RM780.00!!! I know, It's shocking right? The food that we ordered are all fresh as in swimming in the tank... But let us see what did we ordered that cost us so much...

We had Lobster!!!

Lobster soup as well...

Steam Fish *In Cantonese - Tong Seng Pan

Steam Prawn

A type of snail *In Cantonese - Tung Fong Lo*

Sabah Vege *Sorry I dono the name of it*

As you can see there's 1 more metal pot in the middle
It's actually a mix seafood pot consist of
abalone, sea cucumber and some some larrr.....

Alright! We have come to an end for the first day of what I did in KK... Will update part 2 as soon as possible... Thanks for reading~ Bye Bye!!!
