A Trip To Semporna

Lets go somewhere..

This is the most famous place in Semporna, called Dragon Inn. It's a floating chalet. If you are from Sandakan, you may take about 6 hours to reach here.

Sabah Craft .....

The most popular craft from Sabah is pearl & crystal accessories. For those who like colourful & fashionable accessories, crystal would be the right choice. But for elegant style, pearl is the best. Pearl & crystal has its own attraction with different price range.

Breakfast at Beach Cafe

Good Morning...
This morning we went to Beach Cafe for our breakfast. Just about 10 minutes drive from home. It is located at Bandar Indah. This new cafe open for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Special menu for breakfast is Nasi Lemak. During weekends, they serve Nasi Minyak. Having dinner here is also great, because they have a wide variety of food from Malay to Western food.

Tadzmera Cafe

Last night, we had our dinner at Tadzmera Cafe.. It's a malay restaurant. Located in the heart of Sandakan City. One good thing of this cafe is their customers can use internet for free here! I enjoyed my Nasi Goreng Kampung with fried egg (which local people called "telur mata sapi" ) and my husband tried Fried Kuew Teow. They have a good variety of Malay & western food.

Why Sandakan ?

"What? We're moving to Sandakan?"..that was my first words when my husband told me that he's going to start his new job there. Sad but happy....Worry but excited......But let it go with the flow and I'm sure there must be SOMETHING GREAT there which i dont know. Well...it's true!! We're happy to be here...
