Kota Kinabalu Trip
One of the plus being a teacher is that you get long holiday at the end of the year. I went to KK in December together with 2 of my friends. I was thankful to be able to sleep over at my friend’s former colleague’s house the first 2 nights. It saved our hotel costs, thus letting us be able to spend more on our shopping ,haha
I enjoyed the seafood there, and was really impressed with the shopping complexes in the city. I’d only been to 2 seafood restaurants, one of them was Salut seafood. It was kinda far from town, and definitely hard to find without guides. One of the dishes we ordered was snail, I forgot to ask what it’s called. You use a toothpick to pull the snail out of it shell.

I also enjoyed the famous fish ball noodles, bak kut teh and Beaufort Mee. They have kolo mee as well but it resembles west msia’s wantan mee.

I didn’t have the chance to go to all the shopping complexes in this trip. Of course, I couldn’t miss out the new One Borneo. They had beautiful Christmas deco that even my friend, who just went to Singapore, said that it looked better. Tons of people were there and they even had pony ride in front of the entrance. They have this Japanese shop, Daiso on the top floor, not to be missed. Everything goes for RM 5 each, a real bargain indeed XD.

We took a trip to Kundasang and it was really cool up there. You can see the beautiful sight of Mount Kinabalu and even shop at the wet market for fruits and veggies on the way up there.

I love the waterfront in the city, and the clear, clean sea, compared to Kuching’s

Hope I can come back for another memorable trip in the not too distance future
