    one of those snacks you tried just before the rice wine on the vid is called Kui Jala. I make it at home back in England now with the special sieve which I bought in a random store in Sandakan. Sabah is amazing

    I want to visit to Kota Kinabalu because it's one of the cheapest place for us Filipinos since it's one of the nearest Malaysian places along with Sandakan, Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan might be my first international places I'll go/travel since these are the cheapest and the nearest Malaysian places for here in the Philippines

    Gateway to Bornes should be Kuching Sarawak because you reach there first rather than Kota Kinabalu Sabah which stand at the end. Ha ha!
