Kota Kinabalu, Sabah : 88 Marketplace
Serve No Pork

A day to chill with my girls. To gossips about what's about. 


Located at 88 Marketplace, Chiu's is one of the modern fusion cafe that the younger generation would like to have a quick lunch or coffee and cakes.


I had Mushroom Risotto. Just don't felt like having meat.

The portion definitely enough and won't be dissatisfying.


Oh yea. We met Bryan again! ;)

Both of the braised pork was lovely and melted at the first bite. I would recommend this to my friends who would love to dine here. Gravy was delightful and chili sauce was good too! The sauce soaked with both meat was nicely done and everyone loves it.

Prawns that are huge and fresh would be our favourite, right?


东风螺 Tong Feng Lo. It's a type of clam which many loves it!


家乡蒸鱼 Steam Fish

The fermented vegetables 咸菜 taste sour, therefore, the steam fish was taste like home recipe! 

If fact, the bone was being taken off before steaming.


Crabs 螃蟹

The shell of the crabs was soft and it is easily ate by us. No complains, just ease our finger.




Thai style pork leg 泰式猪手

The dish is one of the restaurant specialty and only available here in Kota Kinabalu. Soft braised meat. Delicious.

A hotpot favorite as well. The ladies loves how the restaurant prepared the varieties and all of us could taste and satisfied with all the dishes being served.


It came to an end with seafood porridge underneath the steamer pot. Interesting.

Sabah : Mesilau 

It's a place where believers are there for missionary purpose. However, I could say that people are smart that from one words to another, Mitraville was found and visitors are there for visiting.


 I was there before Mitraville was known by more. Somehow I kept this place in my album for years. I pray for peace and I pray for good wealth and relationship.


Mitraville located at Mesilau and steep road towards the top. I was lucky that my aunt willing to bring us for a visit and prayers.


It was also well known as a place for meditation and calm mind. Yes, indeed. It's really a good place to be away from problems for days just to clear the mind.






I still remember that I was there when I just started my online business, I pray for positive energy and good customers while business as well. In fact, it really works. :) 

I trust that when we have good deeds, it attracts good energy and people that guide us along the way.

Recently I am not being well, sorry if I am missing in action.

Sabah : Kota Belud

It was quite a relaxing week for me to have small trips to Kota Belud, Papar and around KK City. What I could say is, I have quit my job for rest and it would be online days to keep up for myself  and take care of my mind and body health during this short period of time! Maybe short trips to any places that might interest me too! :)
 
Back to my trip that I had on Monday, it took us about 1 1/2 hour to 2 hours to travel by land from Kota Kinabalu City to Polumpung Melangkap View Camp Site.

I have heard about the beautiful scenic view of the camp site and looking forward to see it personally :)


Welcome to PMVCS. 

The trip was organised by Good Country Tours and Travel Sdn. Bhd.and it is always fun to have great companions to travel along.


Camp Site

Polumpung Melangkap View Camp Site equip with cooking area, fire camp area and it is beside the river where we could bath as well.

During usual day, the river shall be crystal clear clean and we could clearly see our magnificent Mt. Kinabalu from far as well. We were unlucky that there were heavy rain and flooded the day before we visited the camp site. The area was affected and we were glad that we made to the camp site anyway.


Where we walk to the camping ground.

In fact, I never experienced camping. I wonder how it would be.


We had our lunch and enjoyed ourselves with other guests while playing some poker cards as well.


Fish Feeding

Polumpung Melangkap also having "Tagal", however, there will not be a Tagal season until further notice as explained by the old woman who was the fish food to us.

Could you see how clear is the river water? We could see fishes in small and large sized swimming here and there, especially from a distance.


Happy fish, happy us! Do not catch the fish! :D

Frankly speaking, I am a burger fans and I love homemade meat patty with creative combination of whatever nice la!

I am still looking forward to the stinking bomb which I have encountered, but didn't manage to had it back in KL. Totally sad after all this years, I love to eat petai! And trying Petai Burger would be something odd and exciting.


I heard about the goodness of DGB and finally out of the blue moon and went there for my second dinner for the night!

Our friend hosted a couch surfing traveller from Slovakia and treat him for a western dinner that wondering maybe he misses his home (Bread maybe?). (LOL)

The image above was the Double Lamb Burger which we had, and such a hot seller that night when we were there. 9.00pm and all were sold out! SOLD OUT!

Such a hot picked burger restaurant.



PHAT DADDY. Loaded portion with sunny side up.

DGB would be one of my recommendation for good burger. And as an advice, please visit them the earlier the better, before they are sold out!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Thailand : Chinatown, Bangkok

We heard that Thai speaks Chinese. Yes, it is.
 
We heard that the seafood at Chinatown is a must have as well.

Like I said before, our recent trip to Bangkok was more to touristy landmarks, I love Chinatown in fact. Loving all the culture and especially near to heart. ;)


That evening while my tummy was upset and because of few sip of bottled jasmine tea that thought of cutting down those heavy oily feeling after having good food for days.

Fortunately, my tummy and gastric manage to be a friendly through that night.

Chinatown in Bangkok was crowded and it get even packed when it is late.


Char Kuey Teow? 

No. It's not Char Kuey Teow. The uncle was frying local delish - Phat Thai. Similar to our CKT, just different taste and ingredients. We felt in love and always had Phat Thai when we visit Thailand.

The uncle wasn't friendly, he chased me away and don't allow me to take photos/ video of him!


Goldsmith.

Could not agree more that Bangkok is quite safe. Even my cousin who work there felt the same way and she prefer Bangkok more than Malaysia. 


Chinatown by the evening.


Chinatown when it's getting dark.


Yeap. Seafood!


In fact, Thailand are well known with varieties of delicious local delicacies. 

The red entrance is where various stalls and seats where we could have our meal and even Durians!


Chinatown is a lovely place by the night and my friend also told me that shopping at Chinatown during the day are cheap too! Sad that we did not manage to visit Chinatown during day time! 

Well, there's always little disappointment that made us re-visit a place in the future. :)

Goodbye Chinatown!

Thailand - Bangkok

It was before Thai King left His citizen to a better place. 

The second trip to Bangkok was mainly for Laos which we were heading later on.


From KK - KL - BKK, it took us hours to fly from one city to another. By the time we reached Bangkok, it was night time and it's time for dinner!

In this write up, I will be conclude places and such that we need to take note! It's a guide anyway. :)


- Day 1 -

1) Terminal 21

A shopping mall which having airport and the places concept. Interesting and amazed with the design! One of the recommended place to shop too!


2) Dinner at Fuji Japanese Restaurant.

It was quit late when we finished our dinner, we went back to our hotel and planned for the next day!



- Day 2 -

3) View from Amari Boulevard Hotel (Sukhumvit)

Good morning and it was the day when we could start our shopping and sight seeing!

It is a four star hotel, however, the are are quite complicated and we could see quite a number of prostitution at that area as well. The area will be a crowd during the night where many will be there, particularly the Arabs love to stay at Sukhumvit area. In fact, this area also well known for its Indian cuisine. The best is found there!


- 4) Massage -

Since it was early, three of us, dad, Mr. Hubs and me went for a foot massage behind the alley after we had a short walk. Thai always having one of the best skill in the world!!


- The Alley -

It's a night clubs area with all the tourist and well, you know. :) Morning will be a dead place to be there.


5) EM  Quatier Shopping Mall (Phrom Phong BTS Station)

Visited 3 blocks of building - Helix Quartier, Glass Quartier and Waterfall Quartier.
I do admire and amazed with the architecture in Bangkok.


- Helix Quartier -

The highlighted design of Helix Quartier are the garden inside the building, from the top to the bottom with scheduled time to water the plants. Besides, did you see the walkway that is unusual where it seems oblique. Yes, it is oblique! We can either just walk forward to go to the lower ground and vice versa.


6) Food Bazaar


We were lucky when we were able to see varieties of local eateries at the food bazaar held when we were on our way to visit Four Face Buddha for praying and Cruise Dinner later.


- Thai Pineapple -

That's a mini pineapple there! Back to Malaysia, we saw there's netizen who were selling mini pineapple and talk about price? It's EXPENSIVE! Well, when demand is high, supply will b expensive. That's the norms.


7) Four Faced Buddha
It was my second visit here. To go there for praying and wisdom protection. Hired four dancers as an offer to Buddha for blesses.




8) Chao Phraya Princess

My mom was unwell when we went for cruise dinner. Arrived at River City and waited for the night cruise. Mr. Lee suggested us for a good dinner and that were our relaxing dinner that night! Good food and music while enjoying Chao Phraya River scene.

- View from River City -

Definitely better than China cruise we went. 


- The Dishes -

Part of what we had that night.



- Day 3 -

We went for local Thai bus ride to Flower Market with Mr Lee early morning at 6.00 am. Ticket price was like cents! Clean bus and that's the local Thai lifestyle.


- Flower Market -

They say that Flower Market changed a lot, less flower could be seen at public streets, the local authority has decided it for local city planning. That's really sad when we knew it. We went to the market between those building to have a look of local lifestyle. 

Like always, it's the way to learn to lifestyle. What they eat, what they sell etc.


9) Flower Market

Old building can be seen clearly here. Monks can be seen early morning to accept offering from the locals.


10) Bangkok Shopping Heaven


We went for shopping spree at Platunam area and from one mall to another, walked so far and we were down with Tuk Tuk later! We moved to 11) Reno Hotel on the same day.

We went back to the hotel and went to Khao San Road as planned.


12) Khao San Road (Backpackers Street)




It's a night life area. Many tourists, especially American loves it. Music were loud, food were weird, and I saw fried SCORPIONS!! That's the first time I saw the real small scorpion prepared to be eaten. That's Thai authentic perception that we saw from TV!


13) Shosana Thai Restaurant

It was a recommended Thai Restaurant near Khao San Road. While it was raining heavily out there, we went for dinner only. And dinner was really good! I love their Mango Sticky Rice, unlike the one I had at other market. Sticky rice was smelled strong.




- Day 4 -

14) Grand Palace

URL : Grand Palace of Thai


I am glad we were able to visit the Grand Palace, a huge palace with own temple, school and more.



15) Chinatown

Post : Chinese Route of Chinatown

From one country to another, there's China Town every where. We went here for seafood dinner and it's really crowded.







 Time for New Shoe!

Accompanied me for the past years, bringing it along with me to many places :) Such a comfortable shoes that sponsored by Adidas NEO. Goodbye for now.

The above places in Bangkok are more localised, visited most of the recommended places in recent two trips concluded my trip to Bangkok. I believe there's more that we could explore especially cafes in Bangkok are recommended as well! 

Well, Bangkok is a good place for shopping. :) Boy, this write up reminds me of my memory for Grand Palace. Beautiful wonders. :)

KK Eats : Inanam Capital
Food : Non Halal.
Price : Individual selection from RM7.50 to RM12.00.


With recent long holiday, my parents brought me for breakfast at Inanam Capital with my aunt who would love to try out new dishes, especially famous one.

A Chinese will always seek for good roasted pork, duck and somehow chicken as well.


It was early as 9.30am and my dad had the Nasi Lemak, but instead of Crispy Roasted Pork (which all recommended this!), my dad had roasted duck and Char Siew (BBQ Pork).

We went there not at the right time where the last portion of roasted pork was taken! We saw the last was given to the table next to us. How sad was it. (-_-)

I heard and read about the good comments of Wo Yen Kee Kopitiam, hopefully my next visit would be lucky to try it!


What I had? I had KonLao Noodle with Roasted Duck. I was full from my breakfast earlier at home, the soy stirred noodle was fine and for sure they have quality roasted duck too.

Sabah Travel : Papar

My mom always said that there's one shop that having one of the best BBQ Roasted Pork and Pork Yam.

I have been here before, but can't really recall how it taste and recent visit to Papar for "jalan-jalan dekat Sabah".


Did I told you that Sabah having all kinds of noodle named after each province, from Tuaran Mee, Tamparuli Mee, Kota Belud Mee and Sandakan Mee. I don't think Papar claimed having Papar mee, but for sure having the best roasted pork here at Papar.


Operated for more than 80 years from older generation until the current generation of the 3rd and 4th. The name Leong Yung Hua 梁荣华 was named after their great grandfather who were originated from China, and why do the shop was named such, its all because Chinese always named after our name back then, no fancy signature, and especially the recipe by their great grandfather as well.


I always wonder what does a small town like Papar could offer for meal. Not many for sure. ;) If you know any other good recommendation here in Papar, do let me know!

Sandakan, Sabah.
Non Halal.

Many said that we must visit XXX Bak Kut Teh or YYY Bak Kut Teh in Sandakan. As for me, I always said that each restaurant having their own unique taste that defines themselves and individual preference are not the same as well.


During my trip to Sandakan with my parents for wedding occasion, an auntie who are also a local and they always go for J1 Bak Kut Teh for authentic savory soup.


Always find that old shop having unique and delicious serving.

A good one no need to be loud, a spread of words would have been enough.


Fresh Lai Mang (Rabbit fish) Bak Kut is a must in Sandakan. Indeed that J1 BKT soup are savory and peppery. 

Normally when we have Lai Mang, each of us would have one to be finished.


Cabbage.

 Only knew that we can have our cabbage with Bak Kut Teh. Normally we will have to order ala cart menu for frying vegetables as side dish in KK.


 Three layered pork belly.


Our varieties for lunch.

Did I told you that Bak Kut Teh we can have as breakfast and lunch? People in Sandakan have BKT in such a way, West Malaysian as well. Us in KK are catching up on having BKT as early as 8.00am. Guess, the local KK won't eat BKT as early as 8.0am, but the tourist will be a yes I suppose.


Prawn BKT.

In Sandakan, people are fussy about food, especially seafood. Seafood BKT is a must in Sandakan, it's because of the fresh seafood that we could have!


Chinese Spinach BKT

I have a lot of good meal when I visited Sandakan each time. And I'm actually planning for another food trip to Sandakan! Hopefully to get a few more friends to share the bills too!

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - Pacific Sutera

It's always tempting to have a good spa session, especially on weekends.

If we opt for a high quality spa session, we might go for it at a high class hotel/ resort for spa and end our day with a glass of drinks while enjoying the sunset of KK.


Chavana Spa

Once again, another local spa session in town.

"Chavana Spa’s décor at The Pacific Sutera Hotel is modern simplicity with influences of its Balinese origin.  Design elements include stonework features, strategic lighting, neutral tones, light timbers, frosted glass and mirrors. Fresh floral aromas will soothe and calm the senses, whilst our unique blend of traditional Balinese music with contemporary tones playing in the background will surely lull you to sleep or a relaxed state of mind."


I remember that I went for Balinese Massage during my stay at Indonesia, Balinese massage was relaxing and doesn't felt any pain at all. :)


Elemis

British brand facial product that is surprisingly good. I tried their trial pack and it was amazing, especially on sensitive skin!


The coziness of the spa, with greetings from massuese and personnel.


Before we start our massage, we were served with tea, just to calm ourselves before the one hour massage with Balinese massage and foot massage.


There's outdoor bathtub at Chavana Spa of The Pacific Sutera. Certainly it would be great to experience the outdoor nature relaxation session.


Sauna



Opps! That's me right day.

The scent of the surrounding simply delicate and calm us.

Laos, officially the Lao People's Democratic Republic, commonly referred to by its colloquial name of Muang Lao, is a communist state and the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia at the heart of the Indochinese peninsula, bordered by Myanmar (Burma) and China to the northwest, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the southwest, and Thailand to the west and southwest. - Wikipedia


After days of touristy destination visiting in Bangkok, the next country that we took our flight from Bangkok was Vientiane, Laos. The airlines that we took was by Air Asia with 1 hour 20 minutes flight from Bangkok (DMK) to Vientiane (VTE).

- Wattay International Airport - 

Vientiane international airport.


- Green Park Boutique Hotel - 

One of the luxury hotel in Vientiane. In fact, we always opt for a mix of cheaper rates and expensive rates room stay when we travel, especially with elder friends and my parents.

Travel suppose to be enjoying ourselves, and not by making ourselves miserable without the local scene and taste. Travel may or may not be expensive, but we only live once to experience most.



All of us were quite happy with Green Park Boutique Hotel. Cozy hotel design with open swimming pool outside our balcony.




- Lao Kip -


- Random Snap -

We had our rest and enjoyed the hotel facilities. It's time for us to have our dinner.

We took the free hotel shuttle bus at 5.00pm to the city centre. It's only eight minutes away! Had a walk along the street of Vientiane while slowly walk to the restaurant we planned to.


- Lao Kitchen - 

We had pure lao cuisine on the first day with recommendation from Trip Advisor. It's the best way to know the local favorites.


Vientiane is a quiet city and not crowded with vehicles, while easily accessible to most of the places.


They are similarities in food serving between Vietnam, Bangkok, Laos, which majority having vegetables, mint leaves and fried food.


- Lao Night Market - 

We always said that to know the culture of a country, go and visit their local stores and market!

- (By Foot) Wake up early to visit Simuang Temple> Returned to hotel for breakfast.
- Free Shuttle Bus to city centre. Took local Tuk Tuk (cab service) to Great Sacred Stupa (Pha That Luang).
- City tour 
Lunch at Cafe Benoni> Return to Hotel for rest.
Dinner at Tyson Kitchen.


- Simuang Temple - 

Wake up at 5.00am and get ready to visit the temple nearby. Buddhist country such as Laos could easily see monks. It was my first time seeing others offering to monks. 

It's a blessing to give monks offerings. Well, we were too early when we were at the temple, the monks just woke up and get ready. 

We waited for quite a while and at 7.00am, they are ready to go the city to accept offerings.






We returned to the hotel for our breakfast and waited for others to visit Great Sacred Stupa.


The local handmade goods.

We hired a tuk tuk for the whole day and luckily the driver was kind to drive us here and there, just like a local city tour. Oh boy, the young man was really kind and should I say as pure as a blank paper.

We were lucky to have Mr. Lee together with us while fluently speaks Thai, a mutual understanding of Thai language made us easier to communicate with the driver. 

Yes, majority Lao understood Thai language.




He was our Tuk Tuk driver who we chartered him for driving us around Vientiane.

Basically, we suggested to him earlier that we pay extra for his service, negotiated a while and there we go. He tried his best to explain and bring us to where we requested.



- Great Sacred Stupa (Pha That Luang) -


Certainly having a hot weather at Vientiane.


- Laos Morning Market - 

Another visiting to morning market.



Lao sticky rice. 

Their traditional delicacy.



We had our lunch at Cafe Benoni before returning to the hotel. 

A western italian and dessert cafe which one of the recommended place for European tourists.









- Tyson Kitchen - 

Returned to the hotel and back to the city again. Walked with the GPS direction guide and here we went for pizza dinner!

Blending with the local Lao taste, Tyson's pizza was special with hint of local and Italian western.

COPE Visitor Centre

Located opposite of our hotel. We went there by foot.

We had a walk nearby Cope Visitor Centre as well, and my parents did bought some fruits to share among us.

It's time to check out and we moved to the city centre.




- Second Hotel : City Inn Vientiane -




Certainly we had a good stay at City Inn Vientiane as well.






We had our lunch at Pho Zap (since 1958), which located near to our hotel.

Pho Zap is also one of the trip advisor recommendation. Serving Beef noodle with the local way, and similar to Vietnamese Pho as well.






- Swensens -

We never refuse ice cream! Three of us went for a short walk and treat ourselves with Swensens' Dessert.

It's a random cafe that we go for a drink. The environment of this cafe was cozy, not a large cafe. 

Most customers were there for desserts and chit chat.


- Kualao Restaurant -
Our dinner were expensive at Kualao Restaurant. A local high class restaurant that won a few prizes from the local government. We had a authentic Lao dish with traditional performance by the restaurant.

 Sabah : Kg. Serusup, Tuaran. 

 It was a sudden trip to visit Kg. Serusup for Tembara River Cruise. Spectacularly, the sunset view was amazing and with lesser crowd.


There were a few pick up points available for local and tourist to hop in without worrying about the transportation from KK City to the said destination.

Namely and pick up location in sequence
1)Shangri-la Tanjung Aru Resort, 2) Sutera Harbour Resort and 3) McDonald, Suria Sabah.

The whole journey took about 1 and 15 minutes from KK to Kg. Serusup.



Tembara Kasih Kitchen

Finally we arrived at Tembara River Cruise for cruise and other interesting activities.


We were being welcomed by the person in charge and local refreshment was being served. At the same time, briefing was done by the guide regards to Tembara River Cruise.



It was my first cycling after more than 15 years of not cycling. Thought that I would fell off the ground while cycling for such a long distance to the beach area.





Along the way, we enjoyed the local village scene with friendly smile along the way. The villages thought that we were tourists from other countries.

It was quite breezy, not warm when we were there, while the road was bumpy that we went through. But it's okay, preserving most of the natural environment is the key.


I was terrified to cycle across the bridge and friends taught me to slowly move the bicycle across the bridge to gather with them.


And we cycled back to the Tembara River Cruise.

It was really fun and we had fun as well. Many of them were laughing and recalled those days when they cycled to school.


That's the cruise that we will be cruising through the river for nature sight seeing and sunset.


I love photography and here also offers great outdoor photography location. For wedding, birding etc.

Other activities may include kayaking, camping are also available.


Tembara River Cruise located next to a fish farm. It was my first to get close to local fish farm.



We have the opportunity to learn the traditional way of crab catching. Tying fish meat to attract crabs.

We pulled the net to catch the size of the crab I caught, it was SMALL. (lol) But better then non and we released it back to the river later.

One side and somehow both side of the river is mangrove forest. If we are lucky, we are able to see Proboscis Monkey and other wildlife. Tembara River Cruise basically prioritized on the activities and nature green of Tuaran mangrove side.



The sunset.


Sunset are great and natural breath taking, that's why Sabah has the best sunset view and I felt honoured that we, Sabahan have one of the best nature in the world.





The best view of sunset slowing get dawn is around 6.00pm.


We went for fireflies and yes, we saw them. My phone wasn't compatible with the small lights as it wasn't the P20 Pro that they mentioned. Oh well.

We went back to Tembara Kasih Kitchen for our local delish dinner and back to KK at 8.45pm.

WHERE DO I LOVE TO E-SHOPPING?

E-shopping also known as online shopping, an electronic way to shop.

I believe that you who are reading this post is an online shopper like me too!

Knowingly online shopping made the world seems smaller and it is no longer a "stranger" to us in Malaysia as well, and it is growing massively through out the year. No matter big or small, personal or company, every business want to operates online.


Perhaps from my clothing of the above image are mostly from online. My shorts, my boots and tops and some accessories, now I can have everything with my finger tips.

I love shopping from home and office, where I could spend my time browsing to search for my favourites at one glance and sometimes within hours because of varieties.

The best part is there are no hassle of driving through the jam and more over, we could purchase cheap and worthy items with promo codes available in store and online.

Eliminating the travelling duration, no fuel to drive, need not to get a Grab car, while we can seek for the best price of one product required, good and bad reviews are stated precisely. That's why I love online shopping so much!

Each time when a parcel arrived, is like unboxing a gift for myself. 

It's always nice to receive "gifts", it just made me happy.

In fact, my friends always praised those dresses that I wore and where do I purchase them? Few of my favourites brands would be classy dresses and work wear from Double-woot and fashionable attires from Zalora. Moreover, I got my own online store as well, known as KKBuy with products sourced online and every where else.


Dress by Double-woot
Limited Edition Necklace by Dearest Grace


Not only fashionable items are available through online shopping, the same goes to buying gadget online from phones, photography gadgets and more. Always go for the recommended websites for trusted seller while online shopping.


Recently, I saw more adverts on Shopee and it was quite impressive on their creative advertisement as well. And I did check on their website too, more varieties from supermarket items, high streets fashion and even Korean beauty products also available. During one casual meet up with my girl friends, I asked her about the pretty earring she put on and it's from Shopee as she replied.

One in every three person, is a user of Shopee. No wonder, it is one of the leading e-commerce markeplaces in Malaysia. Occasionally, I do check out Shopee for things that I need. One glance with varieties at cheap and worthy prices.

Did I say about Promo Code? 

Yea, there's Shopee promo code available from ShopCoupons for shopping at Shopee! Lower price to pay now.


Good to have a one stop coupon code website for us Malaysian. 

:) They say Sharing It's Caring. Have a great week.
