Telipok mee - fried noodle (chinese-style) with roasted pork, fried eggs, char siew slices. It is still the special chewy noodle we can only find in Sabah but no where else.Telipok is a town located about 15km north of Kota Kinabalu, within 5km of towns of Tuaran, Menggatal, Sepanggar.
Early morning of the 2nd day, We had our breakfast at Town Telipok before heading to the Mount KK nature park.
The same Hakka-style tomato and salted veggie soup with alot of hand-made fish balls, pork balls, fish spring rolls, all are local specialties.
Passing by the famous Tamparuli Hanging Bridge when we were heading for Mount KK.
There was this famous Kandazandusun Song named - Jambatan Tamparuli refering to this bridge itself.
As Mount KK is the most famous tourism attraction of Sabah, there are many many big and small shops and stalls selling local handicrafts and souvenirs along the express-way toward Mount KK.
One of the biggest is this Gerai Pekan Nabalu.
Look! the gingers are so big!
Kampung roosters running around. Most of them are beautiful ones
Rows of stalls selling food, drinks, snacks, souvenirs, etc.
Looking down from the look-out tower. If it was not that cloudy, we could have actually see the Mount KK from here. 
Local lychee
Locally grown longan
I like this Orang Utan stuffed toy, the small baby hanging to its mummy =)
Wind Chimes made of bamboos 
As our car was climbing higher and higher along the expressway toward Mount KK, the climate was getting cooler, and along the way we could see all sorts of blooming flowers and plants.
We also droppped by the Strawberry cafe.
Felt like we were in a little warm cottage in the cafe.
I had a feeling of "what a waste! If only this cafe was being taken better care of", looking at the poor maintenance and slow service perfomance.
The counter in the cafe.
Strawberry Ice Cream - taste was quite good, all this cafe needs is a bit more improvement on advertising and quality service
Dried strawberry snack
The other part of the cafe is a hotel.
Entrance fees of Malaysian - RM 2, RM10 for foreigners.
A little cottage selling plants. At the entrance.
The Memorial is made up of four beautiful gardens - the Australian Garden, the English Garden, the Borneo Garden and the Contemplation Garden and Pool, to represent the diferent nationalities.
Locals say Kundasang is the place where you can find most fertilizers, where you can buy most vegetables and plants.
At a bus stop made of just wooden stool and zinc plate roof.
Located top on a small hill. From here, we can outlook the Sandakan Harbour and sea.
The sun is about to set.
Stopping by in the old town of Sandakan, we had a thirst-queching mixed fruit ABC (Air Batu Campur). This thing really saved my hot day! A must try in Sandakan.
Beautiful sunset at Harbour of Sandakan.
