Started planning since September 2013, and today is finally THE DAY! The girls are going to Kota Kinabalu; not to conquer the Mount Kinabalu, but to eat, drink, play and have fun there, haha.
We were lucky enough to grab the promo ticket from Malindo Air during last year at RM110/ pax for KL-KK round trip. And since the opening of KLIA2, Malindo Air had moved their terminal to KLIA2 as well. Indeed, this was my first time to KLIA2. And I was amazed with the improvement (if to compared with the old LCCT, haha). So many of outlets to shop with and also nice eatery places, as if i was in a shopping mall rather than an airport :p
This was my first time to fly with Malindo Air as well. We noticed that the seats are much comfortable and legroom are better than AA. And guess what, we got to enjoy the personal tv as well. Though not much choices of movies/ entertainment, but it's better than zero :). One thing to remind all, please remember to bring along your earphone as Malindo does not provide free earphone, though they do have the earphone chargeable at RM15/ set up for sell. Meanwhile, Malindo serves light snack and mineral water. Nothing fancy but a pack of Munchy's cracker and mineral water in cup. But again, it is better than 0 :)

We reached KK airport and were being greeted by our tour guide, Mr. Xin who was waiting us outside at the arrival hall. The first stop was the famous Fatt Kee Fish Noodles. Located inside Jin Jin Restaurant, Fatt Kee is one of the stall resides here. Different with the fish noodles in KL, Fatt Kee has the tomato soup base. And you may choose whether to add milk in or not. And you have options for mixed fish, fish head, fish skin etc for your noodles or mee hoon.
This was definitely one of the best fish noodles i ever had. The lights sourly taste from tomato brings good aroma and it is indeed a best match with the milk to bring out a smooth texture of soup. And not to forget the fried Tau Kee. Pretty worth to try as well.

| Tomato soup base + milk with both fried and non fried fish meat. Heavenly good taste! RM13 |

| Fried tau kee RM3/pc |

| Clear soup with fried fish meat RM11 |

| Clear vs Milk. Still prefer the 1 with milk :) |
After this super satisfying lunch, we headed straight to Kundasang. On the way up, Mr. Xin brought us to the Tamparuli Suspension Bridge. Nice view from the bridge, but Tze was quite nervous with the suspension bridge though, hahaha.

Spent about 30minutes there, we cabuted and proceeded to one of the most wanted place to go, haha - Desa Dairy Farm. Once we reached the entrance, we can't wait to get out of the car and non stop taking photos. The entrance fee is RM4/ adult. Fair enough the price.
Going in, saw a whole bunch of moo moo cow on the green field. At once, i thought i was in New Zealand, haha. Don't blame me on this as you will surely to have the same feeling if you are here.
We walked into the shop and processing plant. And we were amazed that the cows are smart enough to queue up taking turns for milk compressing. Here, we got to purchase the fresh milk and gelato too! Nice and worth trying.

| 500ml fresh milk RM3.50 |

| Gelato RM5/ cup |
Ok, finally after the whole day travel, it's time to rest and check in to the resort. We have our stay in Kinabalu Pine Resort. Surrounded by the pine trees, now i know how the name comes from :p
We were happy enough with the room as it is located the the top hill. Though abit tiring walking up with our luggage, but the superb scenery and view from our room's balcony was truly amazing! The whole peak of Mount Kinabalu is just infront of us!

| Enjoyed the fresh milk and fresh air and fresh scenery |
Dinner was included in the package as Kundasang is quite a quiet place at night time and hardly to find dining places around. Food was simple with sweet and sour fish, mixed vege, chicken and corn chicken soup. Taste was so so only so don't have too high expectation on the food quality.
We were really tire and we all fall into sleep as early as on 9pm, haha. Kindly see my next post soon for our day 2 activities in Kota Kinabalu. Stay tuned!
