Family Trip to K.Kinabalu & Kundasang : Part 2

Sambungan citer tentang a minor lost to Kundasang

So we did a good lost since we were able to fill up our hungry tummy at Tuaran. But, only after we full, we realize instead of having ZURAIDAH as the name for the restaurant, the owner is actually a Chinese. When hubby told this to Lina’s (my fren) hubby, he said that there are a lot of Chinese Restaurants in Sabah using Malay / Islamic name and some force their workers to wear ‘tudung’…

What an annoying trick…

So,

After Tuaran, we heading to Ranau to reach Kundasang. It’s happened to be no Kundasang in the signboard. So the journey Tuaran – Kundasang took about 1 hour journey from Tuaran. Since we drove kancil, so it might be a little bit slower. 

 Small Temple @ Tuaran

3:30pm

Subhanallah…Subhanallah !!

Cantiknya. Indahnya. Ajaibnya…..(pinjam kata2 GadisBunga yang juga had her vacation there on the same time)

Walaupun berpuluh-puluh churches along the way which a little bit disturb my feeling, but I still feel stunning with the scenery in Kundasang.  Hati dibuai-buai dengan keindahan yang tak terkata. Hubby mengingatkan “Kalau ini Aspen kata indah…what would the heaven look like…”

MasyaAllah…Subhanallah

4:00pm

Check in Mt.Heritage Hotel & Spa which formerly known as Perkasa Hotel. 

Ok, a little bit about this hotel. I can say the room is very comfort for me and my family. My mom chose to sleep on Sofa Bed with Along while the Trio: Hubby, DeqYa and I cuddled on the King Size Bed. There were 2 televisions with Astro Channel.  There were also fridge, kettle, hair dryer and bath tub. 

RM360 / night as offered in internet inclusive of Breakfast and Dinner.

But!!

Aaa..makcik TERKONO here.  When they claimed the BF and Dinner are inclusive, I never thought that they will charge me for another pax!! Since I did informed them earlier that my group consist of 3 adults, and they promoted that Suite Room and menjanjikan kemanisan bla bla bla…bila check in pun terus je kasik meal coupon stated 3 PAXs!! So…I thought what I thought la kan….

Alih2…waktu nak check out, they charged me RM 403 instead of RM 360. WTF…kan?

Itu satu hal…

Rupa2nya, dalam meal coupon tu, although it stated there for 3 pax..but it should only be RM25/pax for dinner, and RM18/pax for breakfast. So…if we order something which is more expensive, we have to pay for the balance. 

In my case, we didn’t know about this yet. We did asked the waiter but he so confidence tell us that we can order anything on the menu…no need to pay.

Alih2, after Dinner…I had to pay another RM55

And only after that, we realized…the person that served us the menu is actually a Christian.

Astaghfirullah…

Patutla kami langsung tak lalu nak makan.

Memang tak luak…tapi adalah jugak secebis dua da masuk ke perut….

So, my advice…if you stay in any hotel in Kundasang, better not to include breakfast or dinner. Lagipun, roti bakar 2 keping + Telur 2 biji + Peas = RM 22.80

Ok2…takpe2, itu citer tak best.

Tapi citer best…right after Solat Jama’ Takhir di bilik, kami terus keluar ke Kinabalu Park !!

5:00pm

@ Kinabalu Park.

Conservation fee is RM3 / adults

Mula2 masuk memang lost. Tak tau nak kemana dan nak buat apa. Nak ke Botanical Garden inside the park, alih2 tutup kul 4:00 ghupernya. So, hubby bagi cadangan yang drastic and critical…hehehehe…

“Jom kita ikut trail panjat gunung…”

Tanya my mom, “Boleh ke mak?”

“Eh….boleh!!!” Wow!! My 65yrs old mother!!! Walaupun dah terbayang-bayang abg dan kakak2 Aspen akan maki2 Aspen sebab heret emak…tapi I believe this would be a great experience for her as well, so we decided to follow the Pandanus Trail which drag us to 590m above the sea level. 

But we felt a bit disappointed because when we end that trail, we still can’t get the view from any of the top points. However, we all were so happy and satisfy with the experience. 

All of us memang dah berpeluh2 and kepenatan, tapi…suhu yang sejuk dan udara yang sangat2 segar mengalihkan focus. 

Paling tak percaya my little Along. Dalam orang kata dia lembik, kurus…dia yang paling kuat dan laju dalam cabaran ini. Hehehehhe…DeqYa jangan citerla, berdukung 80% of the challenges. Princess Baby ayahla katakan…

 

7:00pm

At room…Di luar hujan. Cuaca jadi sangat sejuk tapi emak kata, still tak sesejuk Cameron Highland. Ada betulnya. 

Hubby and I amik kesempatan berjalan berdua-duaan kat luar. Tak lama pun…balik2 da kena sound dengan Along “Ibu ngan Ayah tinggalkan Along!!” Erm….alahai
