On 12th - 14th Sept, me & Loong went for an adventurous trip back to our hometown. It was so fun! All we did is eat, eat, eat. Haha.. What else do you expect in a seafood land right. We never got enough time to test all the food in Sandakan! 🤣
Here are some photos to summarise Day 1:
 |
Jambatan Tamparuli |
 |
Tamparuli River
|
 |
Mark's Lodge (Photo from Google) When we arrived, I think the whole hotel only has 4 or 5 guests. So empty. Half of the building is under renovation. We stayed at 1st floor. |
Hotel room looks ok but the TV only has 2 channels. Sports and TVB. I guess guests here never complain about TV channels before. So they didn't add more channels.
Be prepared to be bored at night because Sandakan is literally a cowboy town at night.
Even desert shops like 7 Heaven closes at 9.30pm. 🙄
 |
Headed to Sim Sim 8th Bridge to eat seafood for dinner. I used to hangout at this bridge with my cousins when I was young. I miss the memories a lot. Now it has become a tourist spot. |
 |
Purple disco lights welcoming you. More disco lights to shock you later. Makes you feel like you're in Thailand or Tokyo. 🤣 |
 |
Yea... State Election is coming. Undilah YB Frankie Poon. 😁
|
 |
Loong also took a photo on the bridge to proof he was here. 😆
|
 |
Ah finally our fish came!!!
|
 |
MMM! Can't resist to eat the fish! |
 |
Fried fish with sweet soy sauce.
|
 |
More sweet soy sauce! 😆 Gigantic prawns cooked with sweet soy sauce! |
 |
BURP... So satisfied... You can't see the fish anymore cos I have ate every single bit of it. Wuahaha... |
 |
Before we go, I spotted another "Tokyo" restaurant next to the purple restaurant. Very cool lighting for photography. 😝 |
 |
Promoting Restoran Sim Sim but we actually didn't went in to eat. Sorry boss. 😝 |
 |
Then around 9.30pm, we headed to Crowd99, IJM, because we couldn't make to to 7 Heaven as they are closed. IJM is the current "youngster's nightlife" place in Sandakan. (Photo from Google) |
 |
Meow. Loong loves cheese cakes.
|
 |
German-something-something-cheesecake. I forgot the name. 🤣 |
 |
Dragon fruit juice
|
 |
Here comes the starring of the night. Mango yogurt ice cream & waffle. So delicious! All these cost RM40.20 include taxes. Price is kind of comparable with KK price range. |
And to end the night, lets watch in awe as cars queuing at McD as if they have never tasted it before.
Welcome to Sandakan. 😗
