BUTOD ! SAGO WORM

Aaaaaaaaargggggg!
Now THIS IS DELICIOUS!
To lots of Dusun, this is a real treat. It can be eaten raw(meaning alive) or fried!
This worm feeds on sago palm and it's hard to get these in markets nowadays. The best place to buy these is at the Donggongon Tamu on Thursday and Fridays.

TIGER ORCHID (grammatophyllum speciosum)

         
The Tiger orchid (grammatophyllum speciosum) blooming at Poring Hot Spring a week ago.  This largest orchid plant in the world can grow upto 3 metres and weigh few hundred kgs!

It only blooms every 3-5 years apparently, so, look out for it when you visit Poring Hot Spring, Kinabalu Park for the next 2 weeks or so.  The flowers stay in bloom for about a month.

Captivating View From Manukan Island

                Panorama View from Manukan Island

Was here couple of days ago with my guests and it never failed to amaze me how beautiful it is and how blessed we are to live here in Sabah!

Manukan is of the 5 islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Park and it is only 15 minutes boat ride from Kota Kinabalu. The other 4 islands are Gaya, Sapi, Mamutik and Sulug. Locals called it coral islands as they are surrounded by corals. All the islands are opened for visits except Sulug island.

Apart from Snorkelling, you can just soak in the sun on the beach or join the numerous attractive water sports available such as parasailing, jet ski, banana boat, kong boat, flyfish, sea walking and scuba doo.

To get there is easy : Go to one of following jetty/marina :
Jesselton Point
Sutera Harbor

My advice is never ever get into a boat not at the above jetties! You might find yourself abandoned at a remote area on of the islands!

Ciao and have a great time on the islands!
