Revisiting Old Familiar Places......

Thanks to Jun Shi for the opportunity to revisit familiar old places.

Pondok Timpohon - Where climbers start their ascent to Mount Kinabalu.
No visitors to the National Park would miss having a quick tour of the little museum.

Along the way to Poring Hot Spring, we found this enterprising native lady who set up this road side store to solicit visitors and tourists to gaze the rafflesia which happened to bloom in her land.

The rafflesia we saw "back then" was at a different location - Tambunan Rafflesia Centre
Poring Hot Spring - At the spot where people left their foot prints!

After a dip at the Poring Hot Spring, we made a detour to the Sabah Tea Plantation at Nalapak.


We didn't miss visiting Gaya Street Sunday Market! We mingled with both locals and tourists and enjoyed the vibrancy of the Gaya Street.
You won't believe what we bought in Gaya Street that morning, cotton! Real cotton which we have been looking for all over the shops and outlets in KK all this while but failed to get. We need it for our specially hand-made pillow!

Food wise, we managed to try out two of the three introduced by Jason in Astro AEC. Other than the roasted coconut, we ate the Tuaran Mee at the founder outlet (Lok Kyun) in Tuaran and the Fish Paste Noodle at Kok Ming.
