It’s our first visit to Kota Kinabalu. In every trip to other places, I like to see their local specialties as well as the food there. Walking around KK town, we found out that there are so many things we share in common and yet, many more not. The town was quite developed but still you can find slow growing paces or underdevelopment in it.
The market of Kota Kinabalu… It’s a very interesting place where you can find different types of goods sold. Fresh veggies, fruits, snacks, dried food and even clothes on the second floor…
A vegetable stall in the market…
Look! Dried seahorses… believed to have strong medicinal value…
Dried seafood… and look at those large dried scallops…
My best friends… chillis…
I found these colourful chocolate pastilles in the market. Can you still remember them?!
Some local delicacies found along the way… The small stalls actually reminded us of Jogjakarta / Bali… This is what I mean by underdevelopment within development…
Guess what are these? They are tapioca powder. I’m not sure how to eat/cook them though… 😛
Skillful tailors in the Philippino market… Notice that most of them are men… I think I only spotted one lady tailor while others are all men…
Colourful bands sold in the handicraft centre…
Do you know this was made from real frog? Yikes!!! Who dare to use it?
Creative corals and shells… The stall owner actually forbids photo taking… This was a result of pure ignorance… bluek!
