KK Trip Day 4: Island Hoping

Due to unforeseen circumstances, finally Day 4 was the day for Pulau Manukan & Pulau Sapi. Glad that the day was good. At least no rain to spoil our plan.

Jesselton Point again. (A terminal for ferry and island hoping)

while waiting for our boat

 Ready to bound to Pulau Manukan. Our first island.

We rented life jacket, mask and snorkel at the Jesselton Point. 3 items for RM 15 per pax. Since we went to 2 islands, it was a wise decision to rent it first as we would need to rent twice if we did it at both islands. Randomly, I chose Aparu for our trip. We had to pay RM 7.20 per person at Jesselton Point for Terminal/Jetty Fees. The expenses for 2 islands were RM 28 per person.

 Me with life jacket. Oops, the wind was so strong. No offense for my hair~

Safely reached Pulau Manukan. A notice for fish species.

 We needed to pay park fees at RM3 for each person. Money sucker. Paid so much just for Island Hoping.

 Ready to snooker!

The water was so clear and blue.

 It would be more fun and fascinating if both of us knew how to swim!

  

Pulau Manukan was a lot of fun compare with Pulau Sapi. I did not have Pulau Sapi photos as photos taken at Pulau Sapi were using Cecilia's camera. There was less fishes to see at Pulau Sapi. The scenery at Pulau Manukan was a lot better and attractive than Sapi. At first we planned to go back to KK at 4pm, but we went back earlier as it rained and there was nothing to do at Pulau Sapi. We were tired at the first snorkeling. But we had to call Aparu company to arrange boat for us to go back to KK. The wait was tiring and boring. I think 1 island hoping is fairly enough. 2 islands or even more are too tiring for me.

 On the way back to hotel from Jesselton Point, finally we could stop by to snap the photos of this abandon art.

Little Italy initially was  included in my plan. But eventually I did not go as I spent a lot of money for the past few days. No more money for classy food. 

For dinner, we went to this Hong Kong Recipe at Warisan Square.

 Cecilia's Longan milk. A recommended drink by the staff there. Cecilia said the drink was good.

 My Nyonya Fish. Good too. The rice portion was enormous.

 Cecilia sweet sour pork with egg and rice. She said this was good too.

Then we walked to Central Market and Fish Market, just opposite Warisan Square. There were so many cheap veggies, fruits, dried stuffs, fishes, meats, foods and drinks. Many stalls were selling the same stuffs. I think it goes with similar price too. It all depends which one you wished to purchase with.

 I wanted to hunt for Avocado juice. Avocado Juice can be found everywhere in Sabah. I simply pick one stall.

 RM 3 per cup. A little bit too sweet. The owner had put so much condensed milk. It would be better if it was less sweet and less milky taste.

There were so many stalls selling the same junk foods. I picked the most friendly lady boss who kept asking us to try all the samples.

 Left: Kuih Cincin (RM4). Right: Emping Blinjo Pedas (RM4). Up: Fried Sweet Banana (RM 6). My all time favourite. 

There were variety of junk foods in different size of packaging. I think I had picked the medium or small packaging. When I wrote this post, my kuih cincin was totally finished. Fried Banana left half packet. I should buy more. Especially kuih cincin and fried banana. Sob!

Cecilia bought this fresh green seaweed. Full of sea-ny aroma. Only RM 1 for 1 medium pack. 

I told my mom about it when we were back to hotel. She asked me to buy but since it was last night for us at KK, I did not managed to buy it. There were lots of dried anchovies, seaweed and salted fish sold at the Philipino Market.
