Siew Hua and Auyn Chyi at the indoor dining area. 

At the outdoor dining area, there are two gazebos. There is also speaker to play musics in each gazebo. 

There are about 4 dining tables placed at the outdoor dining area. Though they are not covered, the giant trees at the side providing sufficient shade to the diners. 

Alright, we were seated at another end of gazebo which can accommodate larger number of people. 

See the wide spaces. Accordingly, you can play the English croquet lawn game here. However, I am not sure whether if there is any charges. A small house at the left of the picture is the peacocks' home. You can take a picture of them if you successfully 'persuade' them to spread their feathers. 

Inside the picture is the Rotary sponsored Observation Plane where you can have a view of Sandakan town and the harbours. Well, you get a higher view at this tea house.

Apple Crumble served with creamy custard or vanilla ice cream @ RM 13.50. It's cool at the top while hot at the bottom.

Complimentary sky juice flavoured with cucumber. FYI, the drinks here are quite expensive but the cake is worth its price.
