We arrived in Borneo, a little town called Kota Kinabalu, or KK as everyone calls it. I was born and raised here. I was happily playing tour guide as it was frenchie's first trip to Malaysia ;P
First stop was a full day snorkel at Mermaid/Dugong island (locals call it Pulau Mantanani).
 |
| Stunning island with white sandy beaches and clear waters. |
 |
| Paradise <3 |
 |
| Look what I've found, a giant blue starfish! |
 |
| I call this broccoli island, ain't it cute? |
 |
| Lying on a hammock, gently swinging, zoning out in blissful comfort as I gaze up to the blue skies. |
 |
| Canopy Walk @ Poring Hot Springs |
 |
| Jungle trekking and found the largest flower in the world, Rafflesia. |
 |
| Stopped by lookout to Mount Kinabalu (promised ourselves we'll climb it on our next visit). |
 |
| My childhood favourite, chicken & prawn laksa @ Yee Fung Laksa Jalan Gaya [RM 5/AUD 1.70] |
 |
| Crispy skin juicy roast pork @ Kedai Kopi Kuo Man. |
 |

Cheap and classic tea time snack Roti Kahwin literally translated to 'marriage bread' - toasts held together with kaya (coconut jam) and melting cold butter @ Kedai Kopi Fook Yuen [RM 1.20/AUD 0.40].
