Colourful drinks..

I don't usually drink colourful drink...

Colouring.. But once in a while is still acceptable..

Coconut drinks

This is the "MUST EAT" kuih!!! Yummy!!

Not sure what is the name but it is a significant food of Kota Belud..

Actually you can find it almost every where in Kota Belud..

Here are some tricks to choose the best kuih to try:

Always choose for those that are freshly cooked rather than those already packed in plastic.

It's always taste better when it is still hot~

There are 2 choices of taste: Gula Melaka and Pandan.

I think Gula Melaka taste better for me.
