Introducing The Bee @ Jaya One, my first time experience to dine in here.

Cranberry Juice @ RM 6.50. Sour but have some sweet taste.

The Bee's freshly made house lemonade @ RM 6.50. Extremely sour!!!

McDonald's Sandakan finally opened!

McDonald's Sandakan finally opened its door bringing the only second town in Sabah other than Kota Kinabalu to have an outlet. For many especially the locals, it have been a long wait. As for me, I been monitoring the progress of the McDonald's construction every single day when I passed by the site. It's good to see how an empty land had turned to a brand new favourite fast food restaurant. 

I have been always a fans of the McDonalds's Breakfast and McDonald's lunch. The food here in Sabah is not cheap and above the normal price. Hence, the menu here is comparable of those other local foods thus bringing a new choice for the consumers. 

Kedai Kopi Thiam & Minuman @ Mile 9 Sandakan

Located at Mile 9, another spot for dining with the special UFO and beef noodles. 

Beef noodles @ RM 5.50. Though it's claimed among the best, I still think it vary very much compared to KL. Eg. taste, the organ parts and the a bit dilute soup. 

Sanbanto Pork Lover Cafe @ SS2

Are you a PORK lover? If yes, then you should give a try to this 'premium' pork by Sanbanto located at SS2. When we say about premium, we gotta to pay premium price as well. Let's check it out.

Gurney Drive Food Court @ Penang

Cravings for Penang food? Where else other than the Gurney Drive Food Court aka the food paradise of which you can find all the cheap  and tasty signature foods of Penangites.

We took no delay to start order the food from various stalls in this food court. You can sit at any tables and make orders from any stall. During the peak hours, it is somehow difficult to get a seat and the staff might not be able to deliver your ordered food in time due to the crowd and too many customers. 

Penang Famous Tang Yen (tong yuen) aka Glutinous Rice Ball @ Penang Road

Pusat Makanan Laut Pasir Putih Baru @ Sandakan

Seafood is synonym with the Sandakan town as one can find cheap and fresh seafood compared to the West. Hence, I would like to introduce a favourite spot for eating seafood, Pasir Putih Biru Seafood Restaurant which is located far end of Sandakan town. 

Talking about freshness, the raw seafood are obtained from the daily catches by the Filipinos (I supposed). Hence, you get to choose yours pick.

I would say that this gathering was sort like introductory week for me to this group of friends. They all had known each other earlier as they reported to work earlier. This BaLin Roofgarden is located at 8th Floor of the NAK Hotel at Sandakan Town. Previously, I never thought such a peace city would have such place to drink. 

It's always fun and pleasurable when a group of friends sat down together, chit chatting, eating or drinking etc. I'm glad that I had such opportunity at this alien place of Sandakan. Thank God for shading me and provides joyfulness to me. 

OCTOPUS Sushi & Thai Restaurant @ Wangsa Walk Mall

Back to the post, this Octopus Sushi & Thai Restaurant is located at the ground floor of Wangsa Walk Mall. The restaurant is quite spacious and offers menus similiar to the Sushi King but I guess it is cheaper than the latter. 

It is a good place to hang with your friends and spent hours of chatting here. Why? You'll will know in a short while. 

Hainan Chicken Rice @ Hock Seong Choon Kopitiam

Our first station at Penang was this Hock Seong Choon Kopitiam located at Penang Road. Not many people are aware of this shop unless you are Penangites.  

If you observe carefully the setting in this shop, it utilises the olden  chairs benches and tables.
