Kota Kinabalu, Sabah 2017 Trip

Assalamualaikum!

Alahai....lama betul lah pwincess tak ber-blog ye....punyelah banyak cite...tapi tak sempat-sempat nak buat entry. Ni pun buat entry pasal mata tak dapat nak lelap memalam buta ni haih... apa-apa pun, pwincess cube blog latest trip kitaorang sementara tengah fresh ni lagi kan. Kesahnya...Encik Mon bawak kitaorang satu family sesaja cuti ke Sabah minggu lepas...kire  hadiah birthday pun ye jugak :)

21 April 2017 (Thursday)

We took an evening flight to KK from Miri Airport and arrived in KKIA 50 minutes later. We hired a Grab car and checked into Grand Borneo Hotel, that was the nearest hotel to the airport. Hotel was decent but there was no lift...so we had to haul our luggage up to level 3 (!). 

Rest for the night. 

22 April 2017 (Friday)

Checked out and waited for our car at the lobby...but our car was delayed. Pity the kids, they were asking for breakfast...luckily there was a restaurant in front of our hotel so we headed there. 2 bowls of soto, 1 plate of fried vermicelli with beef, 2 glasses of coffee and 1 glass of honey lemon cost about RM29...kinda pricey if you look at the portion and quality of food served...oh well. 

At last, we got our car. Sped off to the post office for an errand and after that to Imago Shopping Mall. Our holiday has begun....yeay!!


Asalnya nak beli hadiah birthday kat Imago ... sekali takde stok pula ... terpaksa pergi ke Suria Shopping Mall petang nanti. Habiskan round keliling Imago, sempatlah tick off dari checklist and then kitaorang terus ke Suria. Dapatlah akhirnya...hati sudah gumbira, kita pun check in lah hotel. This time around kitaorang stay di Celyn Hotel, pasal plan nye nak jalan kaki je around situ (pasar, makan seafood, etc). Hotel ni ada tangga sikit before dapat naik lif, so kalau ada luggage besar, nak kena take note. Bilik ok lah .... cuma aircond tu ada bau asap rokok sikit huhu. That night, we planned to have dinner di Nandos Oceanus Waterfront Mall tapi pasal kitaorang dapat parking cun, tak sampai hati nak drive pulak. Aper lagi ... grab car ler jawab nye! RM2.00 je .. best.

Pagi tu lepas breakfast, kitaorang round shopping brooch sikit dengan kedai RM2.50 pastu makan lokan dengan puding kelapa kat Jalan Sulaman macam biasa. Kali ni, gerai yang kitaorang biasa gi macam dah takde, so main terjah je lah mana2. Okaylah, even our boy pun suka makan.

Malam dinner kat tempat seafood berhampiran dengan landmark ikan todak ke apa tu.


Siput dalam cengkerang tu liat rupanya....beli lah try, seb baik dia potong kecik-kecik so boleh tolerate lagi keliatan dia. Latok beli sepiring je ... and tup-tup jadi kesukaan my boy. dia sorang je lah perabihkan.

24 April 2017 (Sunday)

Lepas breakfast, kitaorang terus ke Kundasang. Singgah dulu pasar filipina untuk beli mangga, boleh potong makan di hotel nanti.

.....Hellooooo Kundasang!
the iconic roundabout

Checked into Pines Resort. Ada breakfast and dinner so dah takyah susah2 cari tempat makan. The resort has prepared a set of food for each dayso we just come to dine at the dining hall. (reminds me of my asrama days).


Bilik kitaorang hujung ... tingkat satu. budak2 suka betul lepak kat anjung. Lepas dah freshen up, kitaorang gerak ke fish spa ... we thought it would be fun for the kids to play with fish ... 



Pwincess tetap penggeli ... lil pwincess pun ikut mama ... geli betul dengan ikan-ikan kat kaki. dalam banyak-banyak ikan kelah ... ada tersesat ikan keli ... besar weii .... takut jugak kalau kena sengat. Dah sudah tu, kitaorang gi ladang teh ... saja melawat kawasan ...ada pembaharuan laa dari segi tempat nak snap gambar ... 





Malam tu, terus dinner disediakan kat Pines Resort .... berselera pulak makan panas-panas pulak tu hujan malam tu ...

25 April 2017 (Monday)

Good morning! Pagi tu breakfast kat Pines ... pilih nasi goreng kampung dan nasi lemak. not bad rasanya. Lepas tu terus ke Desa Cattle farm.

Cow Barn at the back

Suka betul the kids feed the animals (susu sebotol - RM1.00)

Anak lembu pun suka jugak....seen here the cattle trying to kiss lil pwincess

Ada juga feed the anak kambing (rumput seikat RM1.50)

Best lah gi desa cattle farm kali ni, especially the feeding animals part. Yang tak bestnya, beratur nak beli susu desa panjang sangat-sangat. So we decided not to join the queue pasal tak silap, my friend ada sebut desa milk ada je jual kat kebanyakan supermarket in KK. Lepas exit from cattle farm, kitaorang saje drive sampai ke atas-atas sana tu ... tapi agak mandom dan tak nampak pun kinabalu peak. The kids pun dah tertido pun dalam kereta ... maybe because hujan jugak lah. Last-last kitaorang drive turun balik ke pekan kundasang, isi minyak kereta dan singgah makan lunch di Intan's restorant & cafe, dan beli buah-buahan potong untuk makan kat bilik. Later in the afternoon, we went out again cari kedai craft to buy some felt for some school project. Singgah Jakel beli kain perca and then went to 1Borneo mall .... balik ke hotel...rest....

26 April 2017 (Monday)

Get ready to return to KK ... bye bye kundasang, till we meet again next time ...

misi mencari susu desa di supermarket bermula ... singgah di Giant tak jumpa ... plan nak pegi ke survey, tup-tup nampak Desa Mart dari tepi jalan ... detour lah apa lagi ....

Dah ada perisa susu baru .. coffee .. if not mistaken it's RM6.30 ... can't beat DARE

They also have Desa Roasted Chickens ... nmpk yummy

They also have other flavours of milk but not packed in a box. Seen here is the yam and mango milk
Next, terkocoh-kocoh nak singgah ke Pasar Dry Food pula, terasa nak beli rumpai laut kering and also avocado. Did I tell earlier, we just discovered about ikan bilis mata biru? All this while, tau ikan bilis kopek, tak kopek, besar, kecik, never heard of mata biru. But I heard so many good raves about these blue eyed gems of late, so we hauled 2 packs; satu saiz besar and satu kecik. They really have blue eyes, man!

So that's about our trip to KK ... happy happy ... dapat celebrate birthday kat sana, dapat birthday present lagi hehe ... doakan rezeki kami sekeluarga melimpah ruah ye...
