Day 1 @ Kota Kinabalu

Finally, i have some time on my hands and stremyx connection at home, that i can resume blogging (with pictures)... though stremyx itself had been pretty slow, these few days... but i'm certainly sure i won't use dial-up connection again... So, here's Day 1 and the other days which i missed.... so the story is kinda like patchy.... filling up the jigsaw puzzle.. do excuse me for that...

So, i took the afternoon flight to Kota Kinabalu. When we arrived there, it was already time for dinner.


I was welcomed by May Luu's (Mogujing's) uncle family. I met Aunty Sa Kim, Ah Gong, Zhu Zhu and Mira, the servant. They were all very nice people, especially Aunty Sa Kim... She was so soft-spoken and welcoming... i am so glad...

yeay! MoguJing drove us around...
forgot to take picture of the 4-wheel drive...
very keng one o~

During dinner, we met up with Bobo, Alice (Bobo's sis) and Susan... We had dinner at Hilltop Restaurant. It was an open-air-mamak stall like- steak house... not the usual steak house we usual see will air-con, music and all... so, i was quite surprise when they showed us the menu...
looked like a coffee shop





reasonable price


i had peppermint lamb chop. I thought it was quite nice. The others had mixed grill and honey lamb chop, which i thought was just okay... perhaps not good enough... borderline, hardly...
the servings were HUGE,... i had trouble finishing mine... and mixed grill was like double my portion... crazy... i wonder whether any of their customers ever finish their food... the price, very reasonable... but i rather they improve on quality, and service...


the peppermint lamb chop i had
quite big portion, got 3 slices leh!
a close-up

the honey lamb chop honey had


the mixed grill MoguJing had...
got lamb, beef, chicken, hotdog... only for RM23!

Oh yes, i'll like to recommend a very nice dessert stall to you: Yoyo!
The pearl bubble tea there is superb!!! i never had a cup of nice pearl tea since the one i had in Shi Men Ting, Taiwan. I think the pearl tea in KK can challenge that, even. The other pearl tea i have had around peninsular were hopeless.... any recommendations from peninsular?
anyway, back to Yoyo... you MUST MUST MUST try the chocolate pearl milktea and Yam flavoured pearl milktea!! A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!!
The awesome YoYo!! yippie!

even the tissue box is cute~

my favourite chocolate bubble pearl tea~ yuhoo~~


yam pearl tea?


the many assorted flavour pearl tea~

ice-kacang

many-many-many-many-many huge tasty red beans inside...

of love

Today, i heard a story which was not a story of falling...
of living in the dark end of winter turmoil..
instead, it was a love story..
of a couple who did not live happily ever after...
but they live, loving each other..
