Sabah Trip - 2nd Day

Gonna share loads of food pictures here. Make sure you ate something before looking at my blog. hehe...

Anyway, breakfast was nothing special. It's the same typical breakfast buffet that you will be getting at any of the hotel. So not going to share or talk much about it.

Here, are some of the pictures which I took in the resort. It's beautiful with loads of trees surrounding the area. The place is very relaxing and it's a great place to be just to relax and do nothing. There is a big pool and also a big area for you to play sports and there is also a place at the beach for you to play volleyball.


Beautiful Scenery from my room

Big Field to play sports

If you are a chess lover, there is a gigantic chess set for you to play with your partner. hehe.... This chess pieces are really heavy and you have to really lift it up with all your strength. I had a hard time lifting it up.

I decided to go to town since I had never been to Sabah. Just want to explore the area. There is nothing much to see in Sabah and apparently they are not building the largest shopping mall in SEA. So guys, if you really want to shop, go to Sabah. But I think it will only be ready in a year time.
This building caught my attention as it looks like the building in Cyberjaya. It's the minister's office. Even the street lamps are similar with the Cyberjaya one. hehe..

Minister's Office
It's lunch time. My colleauge was suppose to bring us to this Japanese Buffet place. We took a long walk and guess what, the place was closed for renovation. *sob sob*... Then we went to this place called Little Italy.


Little Italy (from the outside)

It's a beautiful place. The interior design is kinda comfortable and relaxing and I bet it can be pretty romantic at night time.



6 of us decided to share our food so that we can try different types of food. First we ordered the carbonara pasta. The pasta is creamy and tasty. I definitly love it. Better than many other Italian restaurant. It doesn't give you the sickening feeling after having it.


Carbonara Pasta (GOOD)
We also ordered another type of red sauce pasta. Don't know what it's called but it's quite bland. So I didn't like it compared to the carbonara.

Tomato base pasta

The pasta comes with garlic bread and salad since we ordered the set lunch. There is nothing to shout about for the pasta but the garlic bread is good. They are quite generous with the garlic butter. So it was definitely yummy!

Garlic Bread and Salad

This is a yummylicious bruchetta. It's served with salmon. The salmon added more flavour to it and it goes so well with the tomatoes and I find it so good!!! Definitely must try!!!

Bruchetta with salmon

Next up is the Pizza. This is a meat pizza which comes with pepperoni, turkey ham, chicken. It's another delicious food that I had there. The thinness is just nice and the base taste kinda nice.

Meat Pizza
We also try another type of pizza which I forgot what it was. *giggle*. All I could remember that it taste nice. There is mushrooms, turkey ham, olives and pineapple (if I'm not mistaken)


(Unknown) Pizza
We also tried one of the meat dish. This chicken is cooked with red sauce and served with rice, chewy bread stix and vegetable cooked with creamy sauce. Oooh, gorgeous. (now I'm hungry)

Chicken Dish

We were pretty full by the time we finish all of the food but we still want to try the desserts. haha.... We ordered 3 different types of desserts. First is the chocolate mousse. Creamy, chocolatey... I feel like I'm in heaven. But this is best shared with someone else as it will get quite sickening after a while.


Chocolate Mousse

Than there is Creme Caramel which tasted horrible. The texture was tough and it wasn't the smooth Creme caramel that I always had. Disappointed.

Creme Caramel

Finally we had the tiramisu. Oooh, yummy!!! Not to sweet, creamy... Just perfect.


Tiramisu
We were superbly full by the end of our lunch and it was almost 3 at that time. We walked round the town. Like I said, there is nothing much in Sabah. But there are popular with their seafood, salted fish, anchioves....
You can get all those stuff at quite a reasonable price.

Look at the gigantic salted fish
Anyway, after finish walking, we went to catch the bus and went back to the hotel. It's almost 5 by the time we reach back. So were kinda tired. Took a shower and guess what, it's time to gather at the lobby to go somewhere outside to have seafood dinner. I was still feeling kinda full but then how could I resist seafood since I love it so much. :)

First dish is some kind of fish soup. It taste a bit like shark fin soup but then this soup is cooked with fish tongue and another part of the fish. Taste wasn't good at all. I didn't like it.


Fish soup

Then here comes my favourite part of my meal. Steam prawns. Haha... I love it so much. The prawns are so fresh and thank god they steam it instead of cooking in some other kind of way. I usually love the taste of steam prawns. I had so many of it that I lost count how many of these little creature I took. *laugh*


Steam Prawns

Oooooh, another disappointing dish. This is a scallop dish which is cooked with some black sauce. It's so salty and the sauce cover the taste of the scallop. Shouldn't cook it this way. Bad choice...


Scallops

Here is the fish which is cooked with some spicy sauce. Again, the sauce covered the taste of the fish. Didn't like it at all.


Fish in some kind of sauce

Here comes another yummy dish. Lobsters!!!! Hehe... Well, the lobsters are cooked with cheesy sauce. Kinda nice and the texture of the lobsters meat is kinda tough. Hmmm, if I have to pay for this dish, i wouldn't order. I rather have my prawns. hehe...But anyway, this dish is still good.


Lobster in Cheese Sauce

Than we have this stuffed chicken. It taste kinda weird. It's suppose to be served with mayonaise. It seems that the mayonaise has been sitting in room temperature for hours as you can see so much oil in the bowl. *YUCKS*


Stuffed Chicken served with Mayonaise

This is also another yummy dish. Steam Crab. The way they display the crabs is kinda obscene. hehe.... Anyway, good... Freshness of the crab can be tasted.


Steam Crab with Rice Wine
This is some kind of weird vegetable. I felt like I was eating sticks. It's cooked with sambal belacan. Nice to have when you want to chew on something. hehe...


Some kind of vegetable

And here comes the desserts. It's coconut pudding. Nice and refreshing especially after a full meal.


Coconut pudding

Oh, by the time the dinner ended, I was superbly full. I was already full before I started my dinner. hehe... I could barely walk after that. *smile* We went back to hotel after dinner and just hang around by the pool side till late and there goes my 2nd day in Sabah.
