My Borneo Story (Day 4)

Day 4 was Wesak Day.

We didnt do much as it was a public holidays.
A holiday for us too. We didnt really go any tourist attraction that day. Haha. Holiday on a vacation. Double the holidays!

Anyway, it was the day SockHua's family flew over from KL. So, we spent most of our time with them. had breakfast together and checked-in at a budget hotel nearby. Although it is a budget hotel, it was new and clean! Worth to every penny. But! It was far from town. If you are renting a car and equipped with GPS. Hotel Bundusan is highly recommended. High-pressured shower with clean, modern bedroom. It is 15 to 20 minutes from the town.

We then spent our day in the hotel watching tv after the great shower. :)

We went to the waterfront at night.

As for night life in KK, you can find a whole row of pub at the waterfront, right opposite Warisan Square. Besides pub, they do have restaurants serving western and local food too. We had Ampang Yong Tau Foo that night and it tasted very much like those from Ampang. Finally, something that carries the exact taste from Peninsular. Besides those in the waterfront, you can also find lots of pubs in front of Hyatt Regency! Night life in KK is quite happening!

If you are craving for seafood, there's no good seafood at reasonable price in KK. The famous Ocean View Seafood is overpriced! Local's advice; "Never enter unless you are really rich."

Anyway, we didnt managed to climb mount KK, visit the hot spring, travel to Kudat to visit the Borneo's most north tip and water rafting. I would visit KK for more of these excitements!!

 Super sour authentic lime juice with no sugar! You get to add sugar to your own liking. Super good. Lime juice@Chawan.

As for food, Lime Juice and Iced Lemon Tea is common in KK. They served with lemon and not lime for Iced Lemon Tea unlike in Peninsular where Teh O Ais Limau is served with lime! Iced lemon tea are available in kopitiam too, at regular price. Lemons are cheaper in KK?
