Sabah (kota kinabalu) Trip

We get 2 free tickets from one of the lucky draw quite some times ago to Sabah KK....and so we are here .....Well...below picture is the hotel that we stay for 3 night (NOVOTEL). I personally feel that this hotel is excellent...i like the design, the comfy bed, the transparent toilet, the big LCD screen with astro....n bla bla bla....conslusion....NICE hotel..
This hotel is just next to one of the largest shopping complex in KK which is One Borneo. Although its a little bit far from kk city, but there are free shuttle bus every hour from one borneo to city and city back to one borneo. So , its quite convenient for us to go KK city to look around. Below is the picture of the shuttle bus....

The so call "philipino street" in the City Centre which mostly sell handcraft product made by philiphino. The handicraft consist of pearl necklace...( KK famous in island so they produce a lot of pearl) hehe.....Then there is a street selling a lot of dried seafood like ikan masin, ikan bilis,....etc...
This is where we had our very first dinner in KK.....i believe all of you know that Sabah is well known with their fresh n cheap seafood. Well, there is a lot of "famous" restaurant serve seafood....but we heard that its quite expensive if we ate in those restaurant cause most of those so call "famous" reataurant use to "kan chai tou" one...especially those tourist...One of the kind men told us that thers is a place where u can get nice n cheap seafood....thats here...see below picture....
This is what we order for our dinner.There is Chesse Lobster, Steam Fish, "O jian" (oyster fried egg) and ,,,,erm...i dunno wat is that call...well is a kind of seafood also la..hehe.....Guess what,,,,Just two of us finish all the things,,,,wuahaha...The lobster is super nice....n most important Fresh....yummy**
We try to ask one of our tour guide what else is famous n nice to eat in Sabah and she he told us something called "Roti Kawin" and we decided to go and have a try the next day. Aiks,,,,,in the end,,,,i found that it is just "Roti Bakar" that we use to eat in old town......lol....(za dao) ...we find till so hard....in the end it is just roti bakar....haha.....so funny..
This is the night market in the city centre which also open bythose philiphino selling mostly pearl made necklace, ring, ear ring,,,,n etc...
In the boat shooting off to Pulau Manukan and Pulau Sapi. This is one of the famous island in Kota Kinabalu.
See,,,,soooooo many little fish her...
This is our buffet lunch in the island..
Having my breakfast before shooting off to the hot spring.....
WAu...see the mount Kinabalu....so beautiful....but i never think of climbing it...cause i know that i dont have the stamino to do it...hehe....so..jut have a look down here....hehe
Finally,,,,,,we reach the so called hot spring.Im quite dissapointed after visit the hot spring cause its is not like what i imagine.NOthing special here,,,,just climbing up to cross the canopy walk...n thats all....haha......drive so many hours there just to walk through the canopy walk....aiks..
This is the Hot Spring water.....you can just put ur leg inside the little pool and wash ur leg with the hot spring (natural) water.....but i decided not to do so because i feel that got a bit not hygiene...
The Canopy Walk.....quite scary...
