Searingly
hot Malaysia I find myself in the beautiful and inspiring island…Oh Sabah…Sabah…Sabah!
To be more particular, it’s Semporna by the way. This place has given me new
appreciation of Malaysia outside KL.
We
stayed in Dragon Inn Floating Resort. The view = spectacular! This place offers
a very distinguished resort experience. All the rooms are built on stilts and have
an amazing view of the ocean and sunsets.

Actually
there is almost no reason for anyone to come here except for the world-famous
diving spots in Sipadan, and to some extent, Mabul and Kapalai and the
extensive seafood offering especially lobster. Lobster goes for RM50-60 per kg! Yea…yea you've heard me right. So…calling all seafood's lover, pack your bag now! I’m lured in
by everything I can see. The beach, the resort, the starfish, and the stunning moment
of sunsets definitely cannot
fail to draw gasps of wonder from everyone who sees them.

| Palm size starfish hey! |
The
local food offers not much different from the one offered in peninsular of
Malaysia so I’m telling myself, just focus on Lobster and other bizarre food. My
goodness, when I said try…I really did try everything from lobster stew,
lobster dip, boiled lobster, bisque, and many more lobster recipes. My tummy... kababooommmm! (exploded)
Oh..oh..yea…I
also tried most of their fresh seaweed called Latok! I have been told by one of
the local lady in the market, it’s good for skin. One bite and my skin turned
to smooth & radiant. Bye2 SKII, I don’t need you anymore J

This
one taste a bit salty and has a very strong smell of the ocean.
Sea
Urchin: Slimy and a mix of salty and buttery taste.
Sink made by cockle shell. Can you imagine how big this cockle is?
It whetted my appetite for more of Borneo and I'll be forever yearning for more Lobster till my next trip!
