Sabah Eats - Kinarut : Homemade Cheese by Langkah Syabas 【沙巴食】 自家做的Cheese (中文视频)

Kinarut, Sabah. 沙巴。

Sunny day and let's us go to the beach! Erm.. Sort of. ;)

Here we are with a very short foodie vlog (Chinese speaking) for the first time after Foodie Blogger TV show. Will be doing once in a while to build up those confidence in front of the camera. haha :D

好吧！那就拔起了背包就走吧！ 路程大约15 至20 分钟， 我们就到了位于Kinarut 的 Langkah Syabas. 我们坐 在面海的餐厅， 喝着那杯果汁， 真的好想时间停留一阵子好让我们歇一歇。 真的真的觉得好累哦！

那天到了Langkah Syabas 也做了一件事！ 提醒了自己记得录一项短片然后播上视频。 你们有眼福了！在此我也不说了， 好让你们听听这家Cheese 的特色， 来自英国的外国老板。

- Our Choice -

Drove away from town and finally a quiet place for two of us along the breezy beach. This is life that is not necessary in reality for some, just laid back and enjoy those times being away from busy.

- Video for the day #VLOG -

It was a random decision that pop out from my head and just do it I must say! :) Do enjoy the  very short video above!

- Kinarut -

Langkah Syabas is located along the beach and it is not an extraordinary place for some wedding couple to have their wedding reception here. :) Once I took their package, despite of the hot weather and elderies from our list, it turn me off and search for the best we could for everyone. Aw~ I miss our wedding somehow. :)

- Lime Juice -

A refreshing drinks that I always go for. Its really the best drink for hot day.

- Cheese with biscuits -

 

I love to have homemade food, especially supporting local production for most. I love both of the cheese served - Brie and Camembert. Both having different taste which Brie is slightly bitter while Camembert is not. Which one i love the most? I love Brie!

- Club Sandwich -

A very normal Club Sandwich that served by Langkah Syabas. I was wrong and I should have ordered the toast bread instead.

KK Eats : Ah Chee Tom Yum 【沙巴食】 亚庇 ： 阿志冬炎

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. 沙巴， 亚庇。

So, the famous Seng Hing Tom Yum stall has moved to a shop in town. It was blocks away from the previous one and finally have the chance to try out!

终于找到了我想吃的冬炎！ 这家档口现在也拥有了自己的店面。 不错哦！

- Tom Yum 冬炎 -

It was great to have good Tom Yum after spotted Ah Chee at his new shop!

吃到对的冬炎真的心满意足！ 终于可以吃到曾经在成兴那碗美味冬炎。

 Tom Yum 冬炎 -

Fresh seafood would be preferable to all of us. Combined with the taste of spicy broth and milk, it was slurping goodness.

新鲜的虾是我的首选。 与香喷喷的辣味冬炎也是我们最喜爱的！

- Laksa 拉沙 -

Besides Tom Yum, Ah Chee have added a few more dishes. We tried their Laksa, eventually ingredients were fresh, however, the Laksa taste was flat, nothing to praise in fact. And that's one of the dish that they have to improve, I still love the taste by Yee Fung Laksa. :)

除了冬炎以外， 阿志还加入了几样美食。 我们吃过了他家的拉沙， 可是味道不怎么样。 有点淡， 汤底还不入味呢。 也是还很新， 汤底还没变成陈年老味。

Sabah : KK Floating Mosque/ Blue Mosque 【沙巴游】 亚庇 : 水上清真寺

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.沙巴， 亚庇。

It was a random day trip to have a visit at our Floating Mosque, bringing relative from abroad to have a city tour in town and it was a brand new experience to see ourselves wearing "Tudung" for the first time. Gosh! 

- Kota Kinabalu City Mosque aka. Blue Mosque/ Floating Mosque -

The actual name for the second main mosque in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah is Kota Kinabalu City Mosque. The citizen and tourists are well known with the name "Blue Mosque" and "Floating Mosque". 

Just to let you know that our first main mosque and also known as the State Mosque is located at Sembulan.

- Inside view of Blue Mosque -

Rented the gown and had a walk in the mosque. Very clean and simple building structure inside the mosque. The above is where the Malay can walk around, it is like their lobby. 

We were lucky to see a young couple getting married, smiled widely for both family. 

The rules that we (the non Muslim) need to follow, we are not allowed to walk at the main hall of the mosque, we only can take photos and walk along the pre set walkway.

- Closer view of the Blue Mosque -

- A view from Far -

 The mosque is open for public daily from 8.00am to 5.00pm, except Friday. Friday is the day when they did their praying and Friday is know as their Holy Day.

That's all for those who wondered how does the internal view of Blue Mosque looks like. Interesting. For your information, wearing the gown and "tudung" was weird and people can't recognise who are we. Completely looks like a Malay.

Additional information, the men will also be renting gown and the "Haji" hat before they can enter into the mosque. Unlike before, men and women who wear modest, covered both hand and leg

Cheers!

KK Eats : Damai - Joe Sun, the New Cafe in Town! 【亚庇食】 达迈 - 早晨！

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. 沙巴， 亚庇。

Most of us are interested to find out about the Chicken with Waffle when it goes viral among us in Kota Kinabalu.

Same goes to me, I like to eat waffles. :) Last Sunday, out of a sudden and since it's public holiday on Monday, we went for a glorious breakfast on that Sunday. It out to be..... (cough cough)

今日介绍人人都想品尝的 Joe Sun 松饼鸡肉片。

- Chicken and Waffle -

Large portion for one person. Both of us ordered two meals, Chicken and Waffle was one of it and Egg Benedict as well.

Add on with  salted eggyolk sauce and vegetables. I like the combination, but frankly speaking, the waffle was soggy. To the extend that made us unhappy with the taste, too "wet" when we had it. They might consider to change the flour they are using now. The outer layer taste nicer which was bits of crunchiness.

- With the air plant -

It is rare to see me tying my hair while taking close up photos. ;) Yea~~ You are lucky to see me here!

 - With the air plant -

It was fake! Just an advise, they might think of long term cleanliness that fake plant will bring lots of dust! Need to clean those once in a while. And certainly I like the clean and simple design of their cafe.

- Egg Benedict left, Chicken and Waffle right -

简单来说， 也许那天是我的第一次， 也是我的最后一次赏试这家咖啡厅美食。 他家松饼让我伤心哦~ 为了松饼还有那盘夸张鸡肉片， 我也到此一试。 :)  

如果他们有进步了， 告诉我！ 我会再去品尝一下。

- Egg Benedict -

Egg Benedict, vegetables, sauce, soggy waffle and dried fish flakes. Egg was just nice, waffle was soggy.  :( Joe Sun must improve the waffle!!

- Long Black and Flat White -

Joe Sun serving coffee that taste more to sour. Not a typical coffee that I like. :) Just a personal preference, don't worry. For health conscious customers, Joe Sun serving tea and pressed juice too!

他家咖啡是偏向酸的味道， 我是不爱喝酸的咖啡啦！ 这也是个人喜好而已。 ;)  中而言之， 每个人都有不一样的经验还有味觉， 这家咖啡厅你也可以来试一试。 价格方面还ok， 都是大同小异哦！
