More from our anniversary celebration at Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

For this trip, we stayed at a hotel a stone’s throw away from Tanjung Aru Beach, which boasts of the most beautiful sunset in the whole of KK. But given our hectic itinerary, I only had one afternoon available to take a picture of the sunset. Our city tour took us longer than we expected, and by the time we got to Tanjung Aru beach, I had already missed the sunset by 5-10 minutes. Still, we got to catch a bit of the golden colors.

The sand at Tanjung Aru beach is pretty white and fine, ALMOST comparable to our very own Boracay! But I didn’t see a lot of people taking a dip in the waters.

Whenever we travel, Mike and I are always excited to try street food. We love hawkers! So, it was such a plus for us that when we traveled to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, we booked a hotel a mere block away from Tanjung Aru’s hawker. As soon as we checked in, we went straight to Tanjung Aru Beach for our hawker dinner.

Lotsa lotsa fruits and for cheap too

Cheap fruits equal cheap fruit shakes

Tanjung Aru’s Hawker Place is as bustling as any of the hawker places we have been to. There are lots of Pinoys too. Make sure to try the delicious chicken wings and @$$, buttered crab and the really cheapo but yummy fruit shakes.
