Day 2 (21st April 2011) – Small Town Story 小城故事

Woke up ‘early’ in the morning in a 24hour-night room where we couldn’t see any sunlight and never know the time without a clock or watch.

After taking bath and putting ‘plastering’ on our faces and bodies, we headed all the way to find – shuttle bus! Due to the characteristic of always wanted to eat, we bought some food in 7-11 and Bumi’s stall (which this word was directly borrowed from ‘Malay stall’ =.=’’) for breakfast. After seeking so much guidance and advices from others, we finally got to find the shuttle bus counter. We were told to wait for a few minutes before getting the ticket and boarding onto the bus. It took about 7km or more from Tune Hotel to the city centre where we were going to spend our first day in.

Firstly, we made our steps into a small kopitiam for brunch where we enjoyed Huangjiu mee suah, Mee Konlo and Fried Tuaran Noodle with seafood. All the food was simple but nice…with the ‘taste of countryside’…

After that, we had a walk in the town which I already forgot where we been to…The only one that I can still remember was Suria Sabah…It was a very nice and attracting shopping complex from the external..However, there were not many shops inside where we only visited a few including 100Yen Shop, a few boutiques and….food court….we shared a bowl of Tomyam from Kuo Man Restaurant….i would say it was very special because it was totally different from what we have in KL…it was not sour in taste but very much like laksa…

Before we wanted to leave KK town, we decided to have a walk in Jesselton Jetty and asked about the price for going islands such as Sapi, Manukan and Mamutik…The price ranged from RM27++ to 40++ which I thought was quite affordable.

Then we headed back to Tune Hotel by shuttle bus again. Once we reached our room, we quickly prepared ourselves and stuffs because Mr Nip gor gor will be coming to bring us for dinner. We were brought to a small restaurant which I already forgot the name. We had grill fish, ‘wo tie’, fried meehun and my favourite fried 薯仔菜with egg. We enjoyed the food while chit chatting about everything. Right after the dinner, we were brought to Tanjung Aru for sightseeing of the beach and the sea….

We were back to the hotel around 10++pm where we met with a big gang of Taiwanese….This was a very long story…to be continue…..
