【沙巴。亞庇美食】開順茶室 美味福州干捞面 ♥(✿ฺ´∀`✿ฺ)ノ Foochow KonLou Mee


这间店也是开了最少二十年以上,网路上很少介绍,都是本地人才知道的美食,它是在 FohSang 吃了一次,就会很想念。

This coffee shop probably age 20years and above. Can't really find it in the internet probably because it is mostly patron by locals.
It is situated in FohSang. Once tried, you will never forget it.

一份RM7,加料另计

Rm7 per plate, extra charges for additional fillings.


它家的面条全是自制,软硬适中!
“超推荐干捞面(猪杂或叉烧,春卷,云吞)”
( ˘ ³˘)❤ ( ˘ ³˘)❤ ( ˘ ³˘)❤ ( ˘ ³˘)❤

The noodle is homemade and it has just the right texture.

大家來海鮮餐廳 Welcome Seafood Restaurant


來亞庇必吃的平價海鮮,遊客,本地客滿瀉。。
必點海鮮,螃蟹和東風螺,
(聽說西馬的名稱叫 “kong kong”)
像蝸牛的生物,要用牙籤剔出來。
鹹蛋黃炒螃蟹,甘香蟹,奶油,通常點菜人員都會介紹,
如果喜歡吃出螃蟹鮮味的朋友,就要拒絕這些煮法,
不然你一定會因為吃不出鮮味而對KK的海鮮有誤解!
我和家人就超愛這三種煮法  (*^▽^*)

a MUST EAT for both local and international tourists.
The price is reasonable and the food is good!
Some of the popular seafood: Crab and TungFungShell.
(I think West Malaysian called it KongKong)
It's like a type of snail which you need to use toothpick to pick the meat out to eat.
For crab lovers, there are a few types like the Salted eggyolk, KamHeong, and Butter. You can get recommendations from the person who takes your order. However, if you want to taste the real freshness of the KK seafood, you should not order these flavours as this may prevent you from tasting the original freshness in the seafood.
I just recommend these flavour because me and my family loooove these flavours!



其他的必點菜式有醬蒸魚,清蒸魚,招牌豆腐,蒙古豬肉都還不錯,青菜方面,每次都點馬來風光 
(因為每次都是那麼好吃!)
還有必叫的飲料 " 桔子汁 " !
還有還有,炒麵非常好吃 (⌒▽⌒)
濕炒麵

乾炒麵
Other than the above must-order, there are other dishes like variety of steam fish, Welcome Tofu, Mongolian Pork, and etc. 
For vegetables, we mostly would order Kangkung in Belachan because it is always so delicious! 
Another must-order: Calamansi & sourplum Juice. A very refreshing and pick-me-up drink!
 oh oh oh and another one, fried mee. totally!!

蒙古豬扒 

蝦醬炒通菜Sambal Kangkung

清涼解渴解熱的冰凍橘子汁,酸又甜,非常適合炎熱的亞庇 (>y<)

Checklists for Climbers登山备忘

永远不要小看攀登神山 Mt Kinabalu,它虽然不是世界最高峰,也不是最困难的一座山,但如果你轻看这登山的一段路,那将会是一段蛮辛苦的路程。
因为是热带雨林的关系,大部分登山路途都会遭遇小雨,大雨。。停停下下,所以列了以下的物品,建议携带:

Never underestimate the hike up Mt Kinabalu. Although it is not the highest mountain in the world, and neither is the most difficult mountain to hike but it definitely would challenge you physically, mentally and emotionally. Since this mountain is located right in the centre of a tropical region, you will be going through wetness from drizzles to heavy downpour in the whole journey up. So be well prepared with the following items so not to regret and end up with overwhelming experience.


- Long Sleeves Shirt/Warm Clothes
- Change of clothes
- Suitable walking shoes – sport/gym shoes/hiking shoes
- Second pair of shoes / pair of sandals
- Gloves / hat / mask
- Extra Socks
- Rain and wind gear, rain coat, thick wind breaker, rain cap
- Towel
- Toothbrush, toothpaste... etc
- Tissue Paper / toilet roll
- Sun Block & Lip Gloss
- Insect Repellent
- Mosquito Oil (optional)
- Headache Tablet
- Plasters (for cuts / blisters)
- Deep Heat Lotion (for muscle cramp)
- A couple of plastic bags (for wet clothes etc)
- Binoculars (optional)
- Camera (with extra high-energy battery)
- Water proof bag for camera
- Torchlight & Fresh Batteries
- High Energy food (Chocolates, nuts, raisins)
- Water bottle
Note: Don’t bring a backpack too big. If you drive to the park at
National Park using own cars, you can leave unneeded things at
the cars before  climb.

永远记住,登山是享受过程,并不是比较谁最早登上最高峰。
Please remember that the process of hiking is as much an enjoyment as being the first one to reach the peak.

攀爬神山,只需要2天1 夜,下面的Kinabalu Park 的住宿是属于在公园区内,它有几种不同风格的休闲屋。

以下是Sutera Lodges的价目表。(点击放大click to enlarge)

Below are different types of accommodation you will be staying during the trip.
The one in Kinabalu Park is located within the park with a variety chalets.
