PANTAI BATU LUANG, KUALA PENYU

Aloha! Been awhile since my last post on places kan? So on this post I’m gonna blog on one of now viral beach in Sabah…at my hometown. Kuala Penyu!! Kuala Penyu…actually quite many locals doesn’t now about this place but they will know if you say : Ala dakat sana Beaufort bah (Not far from Beaufort)…then they’ll go…ohhhhhhh…

First Kuala Penyu was viral about the Tempurung Seaside Lodge but I’m not gonna blog on that. For those rajin follow the IG KKCITY you guys definitely saw photo on

BATU LUANG BEACH kan???

I called it the hidden gem. During my childhood we often went to other beaches like Sawangan and Mansud.  Kuala Penyu isn’t that big no matter where you go you will go back to the same point haha aka will not get lost plus with the help of WAZE nowadays. We go round and round last time and saw this… kinda Bali look alike to me hahahaha or I call our own Krabi kononnya la. Yep its Batu Luang!

You can search on stories about this beach; its really interesting …they have some difference in the story but ended up quite the similar and even my mom told the same story. That one you should google up the Blog who post on this hehe. You will end up with more interesting stories of Kuala Penyu.

Even though we discovered this beach few years back but we only get the chance to stop the car and really went there last June. What so funny is instead of taking the route from Kayul there we actually take the route from the town hahahaha…we did passed by this beach but we arent so confident about it so we just go on and on and ended up at? Menumbok hahahaha can go Labuan already….should have on the Waze. You can take the junction on your right side if you are from Kayul (the turtle roundabout) not far from Rumbia Information Center (Another must visit place at Kuala Penyu-NO I not yet went there just my other family member-so sad kan).

It just takes you few minutes to reach there from the junction but of course 2 hours from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Penyu la kan or shorter if you didn’t stopped by any place or drive quite fast (BUT PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY OK?).

When try on Waze you either type BATU LUANG or PANTAI BATU LUANG. Google Map can do too! But last time I used Google Map (Pantai Batu Luang) while my other family used Waze.

For me, this place is magnificient for photoshoot but please make sure to not pollute this beach kay??? Appreciate the mother nature. So heres some photo we have captured using phone hahahah! Oh during sunset there will be quite some numbers of tourist..we went earlier and did not wait for sunset. For the green algae view (I just called it algae randomly haha) I think you should wait for the right weather la.

Enjoy! Oh before I forget...the car only stop at the hill side and you need to go down to reach the beach BY FOOT kay? 

ARMY NAVY BURGER + BURRITO KK, IMAGO

When posting about this I remember my cousin said

Girl (the name they called me), kau sudah cuba Army Navy ka? Macam sedap o…

She asked have I tried Army Navy food as it look tasty.

I replied her; tempat apaitu ahaha…(I have no idea where is that place)

She go on further saying; Bilang food blogger (She mockingly said how should I did not know about this place ahahahaahha since I love food)

I told her I seldomly go Imago. Yes its at Imago next to Tavern and not far from Morganfield’s and the famous Souled Out. I heard that this food place was originate from Philippines?

Its kinda like Mexican food? Correct me if I am wrong hehe. Asal nachos mesti Mexican d kepala. Yep nachos..burritos…tortilla…suddenly I remember my game (Dinner Dash haha).

So here goes my review…

Order is at the counter..you can pick the more saving set/combo added up with the sides/ala carte. For me the price is reasonable and affordable =). You can have a look at the menu in the photo I have taken.

The staff were friendly and efficient so thumbs up!

We tried the combo of chicken burger with fries & combo of beef burger with fries as suggested by the staff with ala carte of nachos haha. The drinks for this combo is either Coke or Libertea.

In summary…I LOVE the NACHOS! Crunchiness maintain! The burger was moist and taste good but does not give me the WOW…BUT perhaps their strength will be the nachos etc. It taste great! I might be bias because I love Bell’s burger (Food Truck) and Madben’s burger hahahaah! So you guys have the comments! But the nachos..you should try. When I have a burger…I am very particular on the patty and sauce.

The libertea taste like ice lemon tea to me but it complement the combo! ^_^

Will come again next time to try other menu. But not in nearest time as I rarely go Imago because we always have no luck with parking hahaha unlike my other family.

Photos below….

Tamparuli Food

Hello! FYI, even though my hometown is Kuala Penyu for now I am staying at Tamparuli but will soon move out hehe. So here some food you can look for here.

The famous kuih bulan c angkol baine hahahaha

We really love his kuih bulan aka I guess apam balik? I will let the photo speak for themselves.

You can request without peanuts or a thinner kuih bulan too-Angkol(uncle) will know!!

It has been since her childhood said my 33 years old food buddy! So lama already! You can look for him at the town at the local Pasar where you can find other local delicacies too …the Pasar is just nearby with the FAMOUS TAMPARULI SUSPENSION BRIDGE / JAMBATAN TAMPARULI!

We certainly love the thinner version with peanut! 

Another food we just had here was the Pizza at the new shoplot not far from the route to Ranau (Pineapple roundabout/Bulatan Nanas). It was early Sunday morning that we decided to have breakfast outside. So we found this food place and was actually about to order the AYAM GOLEK (a type of chicken dishes) but they not yet prepared it so we had their PIZZA…

Ada Pizza O Kami bilang hahaha…

Comments??

Crust was perfectly done…but the topping will be perfect if the chicken was perhaps grilled to brownish maybe?? OR ratio of chicken and cheese be measure back? But loving the crust definitely!!! Drinks was perfect too! We had Teh C Ping and Kopi O Ping. Next time will come for the Ayam Golek hahaha. No matter what we finished every slices hahaha! 4 slices each for us. Me and my food buddy.
