All the pictures in my post below are provided by my sister :DOn 7 Dec 2009:
We had lunch at "鸿记" after we arrived at Kota Kinabalu. According to KY, the "yu fu+mee"（鱼腐+面） sold in this restaurant is very very popular. After tried it, I like it so much:) The "yu fu" is made of fish meat and egg. It is very soft and fresh.. Something that I never try before :) The soup is made of sour vege and tomatos, very nice too, help stimulate appetite :) The mee there also very special and nice, thicker and nicer than normal wanton mee..haha~ The restaurant located at Damai, I highly recommend this restaurant, because the mee is really nice nice nice^_^
After visited Yayasan Sabah, we went to OneBorneo (very big shopping centre in Sabah). This shopping centre is almost the same with shopping centre in KL, with variety of shops :) In OneBorneo, KY bought us his favourite eggtart that only sold in Sabah. People who visit to OneBorneo can try this eggtart..crispy and with very thick egg filling..but a little bit too sweet :p
After shopping in OneBorneo and went to University Malaysia Sabah(UMS) to find my friend hui pin..it was already dinner time.. KY brought us to seafood restaurant as seafood is very cheap in Sabah. On that night, we ordered crab as one of the dish. 1kg crab cost RM18 only..really cheap.. And the seafood there very fresh. We only spend RM60++ for 4 people in that seafood restaurant :)After dinner, we stayed at "Star Inn" located at Penampang. Erm, that Star Inn is really very lousy..There are some pub located nearby the Star Inn, so we can hear the very loud music clearly, which play until 3am...=_="

At 6am, we already set off, as that day we'll go to Sandakan (It spend 8 hours to travel to Sandakan from Kota Kinabalu by car, really far.. O_o) Before we started our journey to Sandakan, KY brought us to eat Telipok mee as breakfast at a restaurant located at a town near the Kota Kinabalu mountain. I enjoyed eating mee in Sabah so much..(I'm a person who always prefer to eat mee than rice,haha~) All the mee there are so nice~
On the way to Sandakan, we stopped at Kundasang and visited the War Memorial Park there. In the park, there are a lots of colorful flowers and plants :)
Then after visited Kundasang War Memorial Park, we tasted a pure strawberry ice cream at a cafe in a hotel located in the mountain area on the way go to Sandakan. The strawberry is a bit too sour for me x_x
Then after 8 hours' journey on car, we reached sandakan ^_^ KY brought us to try the famous satay and fruit ABC in Sandakan. Unfortunately that the satay was sold out, so didn't get to try it. The fruit ABC is also something special :) 
After that, we went to seaside of Sandakan, and watched sunset there ^_^ 
At night, KY took us to English Tea Garden (a high class restaurant/cafe with romantic environment). You can choose to sit outside (in the garden) of the restaurant/cafe to enjoy your meal ;)

We went to the morning market in Sandakan. I was almost fainted there.. The seafood there is really "very fresh", still alive..! Really cruel to buy them and see them being killed there..Saw them being killed make my mood so bad..
At noon, KY brought us to eat "century egg dumpling+mee"(皮蛋角+面） at Sandakan. The dumpling is filled with meat and century egg..nice... I can say that every place and food that recommended by our very profesional tour guide is nice..
Then, we visited to Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre. Orang Utan is being protected in Sabah and this centre is a place where young Orang Utan (which are orphan) are being fed and trained before they are released back into the forest when they become indenpendent and strong enough. The feeding time of this centre is 10am and 3pm. Feeding time is the time that we can see the orang utan.. So for people who want to go this centre, must choose the right time, otherwise won't be able to see the orang utan there..
After that, KY drove another 8 hours to send us back to Kota Kinabalu town..it's a long long journey on car again.. On the way went back to Kota Kinabalu town, we went to the foot of Kota Kinabalu Mountain. It's cold there (around 16 degree celcius).. nice.. Felt so relaxing there...I like the nature and environment there.. We shall preserve the nature...
On 10 Dec 2009:
In the morning, we set off to Kudat. It takes around 3 and half hour to reach Kudat from Kota Kinabalu town. Kudat is a small town, on the nortern tip of Borneo. On the way to Kudat, we bought jagung, kacang merah (famous..must buy and try!) and coconut biscuit there..
When arrived at Kudat, we went to the market at Kudat and then to the tip of Borneo..After that, we drove back to Kota Kinabalu town.. (another 3 and half hours journey x_x) For dinner, we ate the chicken wing with sausage (the bone of chicken wing is removed and replaced with sausage) and fried dumpling (锅贴), nice nice.. (Erm..all food in sabah that i tried in that 5 days all nice, haha~) We even thought of running a restaurant that sell all these nice Sabah food in West Malaysia :p
On 11 Dec 2009:
In the morning, KY brought us to Philippino market in Kota Kinabalu. It is a place that sells souvenir and dried seafood (like seaweed, seacucumber, dried fish, dried prawn and etc)..My mum bought a lot of dried seafood there because very cheap :p
After shopping at Philippino market, KY took us to the beach of Kota Kinabalu before sent us to Kota Kinabalu Airport to take our flight on 3.30pm :)
Ending:
Enjoyed this Sabah trip very much..This is the 1st time I travelled to East Malaysia..The environment in Sabah is very simple and natural... During the trip, I felt so relaxing to be surrounded by the mountains and forests there.. Life can be so simple....
During this trip, so happy to be able to meet my dear friend--Hui Pin too, nice time spent with her there (visited to Sandakan with her and had long chat with her at night) ^_^
Besides, during this trip, I also discovered so many nice dishes in Sabah that I never tried before ~
*Satified*
This post will help me to keep my wonderful memory in Sabah..haha ^_^
