Kiram Village Cabin! Somewhere that I miss!

Hello guys, today showing you the pretty Kiram Village. The place where we stay when we are in Kundasang, very super near to the Mount Kinabalu! 

Get amazed with the pretty pictures ba..not forgot to tell, the weather is so cooling during late night and early morning. I think it is as high as Genting so you can merely imagine how was the weather! As it is too cold in the morning after we wake up so we warm ourselves with cooking fire! Lol..

The one you see at the back is Mount Kinabalu!

This white chalet can fit in exactly two persons! Cute lo! It is named Broccoli Cabin.

Morning breakfast! Roti Telur and Teh Tarik! Prepared by the village owner but of course you have to pay, no breakfast included for one night stay. Lol..but is only RM2 if I'm not mistaken!

Upside down beetle and do you see cat sleeping beside at the corner! My God, this place got so many insects even you are in the house, you can accidentally step on a small beetle in the house and even bee flying, cat will jump in from the window and etc.

Wah..beautiful daisy!

I don't think I can ever see another beautiful Daisy like this in Penang even during the flower festival happening this month in Botanical Garden. Lol..

Calla Lily!

This is the other chalet that I mentioned just now. Girl's dorm! Lol..

This is the house that the cats jumped into cz the day before we cooked crab for our dinner. Haha..

DSC00602

The hallway.

DSC00604

We cooked with limited resources cz we don't have enough of salts, drinking water and so on. Lol..but very fun la..use what we have and cook what we can!

DSC00605

This part they can even make it as a room! o.O Cz beside is toilet already and no door for this "room", only a curtain covering it.

Another quad room with 4 single beds.

Beautiful flowers around Kiram Village. 
All this credit to the owner of this village. :-)

Roti telur alone is not enough, ordered another plate of maggi goreng for breakfast! Lol..Their maggi is very nice lo, the noodle very thin, not like the usual one that we have here.

DSC00615

My first time seeing counter like this. Haha..but is another kind of experience! I like it! Is absolutely their hard work and details that the owner put in to decorate this place. To me, it is way much better than those 5 stars hotel reception!

Just in case you want a chalet facing right in front of Mount Kinabalu then this place is definitely the right choice! Call them up or browse through their homepage for details.

DSC00634

Their are more chalets at the back facing Mount Kinabalu.

DSC00637

Up there is another resort, my friend told me is even expensive. Not sure about the price. If you are interested, may google for more info. :-)

Just to show you how near we are to Mount Kinabalu! I miss you Kundasang! Traveling so far to this place is totally worth of it!

DSC00639

If you are looking for accomodation in Kundasang and want to have a relaxing getaway then choose Kiram Village for your overnight stay. It is at affordable price with beautiful scenery!

Last but not least, bye bye to Mount Kinabalu! I can only see you from the pictures now..:-( But I have videos with me so I can play it anytime I want when I'm missing it! I love Kundasang and this Sabah trip!

DSC00651

The view is breathtaking! I can't believed I am seeing it with my own eyes..never expect one day I will visit to Sabah..thanks for the Utar graduation trip for making it come true! Love you guys..

Kopitiam and Rumah Terbalik in Tuaran, Sabah

Third day we were driving to Kundasang but morning drop by somewhere else to have breakfast. 

First stop for Sabah type of Pork noodle, they called it 生肉面. They told me KL have it as well but not as good as this. :-)

I like the noodle but some of them prefer the soup. I think both also nice la..worth a try. Figured out Sabah got lots of handmade noodles like this..every shop have their signature noodle. This is uncommon in Penang.

Anyway I love the chili, shop like this must have exceptional and extraordinary chili to accommodate the noodle, sometimes is not the noodle that nice in fact is the chili. Haha..

Magnificent duck meat I should say. Lol..not a duck meat lover but this fit my taste. Love it!

Next stop, we were hunting for custard bun in this coffee shop. 

 photo DSC00355_zps0d98626d.jpg

Unfortunately the baked one is not ready yet so at last we pick the steam bun. Anyway I like the Q-ness of the bun and they have variety of fillings. I chose butter and char siew, both also not bad. 
Sorry I forgot how much it is exactly, around RM1 to RM1.20 I guess. 
They are famous for the baked custard buns anyway, but it starts selling at 11.30am.

Bread baked freshly on the spot! We rarely see this in Penang Kopitiam.

Everything is terbalik here but I rotate my picture so looking like we are floating upside down but kinda fake la..lol!

Group picha! We got a complementary chocolate drink cz we purchased the ticket with student card! Haha..student rocks! 

 photo DSC00415_zpsae085819.jpg

Frankly speaking, I don't think I will come again. Lol..cz nothing inside, just that everything is terbalik. 

And some of my friends feeling creepy inside, haha..anyway I am very simple-minded so didn't noticed anything difference inside the house.
