Sabah Food & Seafood

Every night, accept for the first night in Sabah, we have seafood dinner. This was the first time we have so many fresh seafood in a week. Sabah is known for the fresh seafood. Cheap? Not really. But it's absolutely fresh.

This restaurant is recommended by Chris. It was packed with local and tourist of the 2 days we were there. I think can consider as the cheapest one among the shops in KK town. 

Fresh, fresh fresh. 

The prawn, must have in KK. 

We were too busy to take food photo. So these are all the seafood that I have in the collection. 

KK's apple. Hubby bought one but we only have a bite. 

Some local fruits, no idea what's called.

Jagung bakar. 

Pomegranate - Didi's way of eating

After I peel the fruit, I just placed it in front for Didi. Usually he'll just use his hand and usually I'll just sit beside him and eat together as not to waste the fruit. He will make most of them on the floor.

Anyway, this time I just placed it for him so that I can continue my house work. After 10minutes, I popped up to look at Didi, to see how much left over. Surprising, Didi has poured all the pomegranate to the high chair table and placed the bowl on the dining table. He started to pick up the fruit using his mouth. It must be slow for Didi to pick up the small seed using his hand, I guess. Using mouth, it's faster. Another new exploration for Didi.

King of fruit

On Tuesday, when Koko got out from the car after I fetched him from school, the first question that he asked “Got durian today?”. I was wondering why he popped up this question when there was no sign for any durian around.  After I told him there is none, Koko didn’t ask anymore. Then while we were having dinner, suddenly Hubby popped the question to Koko “Do you want to have durian?”. Both of them have the same instinct. Hubby is a huge fan for durian. He can have durian for every weekend during the durian season. Finally, he found his partner to share with. Usually I’ll eat with Hubby, but I’m just not a huge fan of it. Hubby always wants to train Koko and Didi to share his interest, so that 3 of them can enjoy it at the same time. 

Koko is smart, he doesn't wanna hold the durian. Just wanna eat.

Didi was enjoying the durian.

Pomegranate

Pomegranate – a new word for me. I just know it by the name ‘Siuk Liu’. Everyday, we have a free fruit from the company. Pomegranate is one of them. Didi loves it very much. He can take the whole fruit by himself. Some may fall down on the floor or on the table but most of them will go into his tummy. Can the seed fully digest? I think nope. I can feel some of them from his stool. Feel through my hand when I was helping him to clean up. Didi hasn’t started the toilet train yet. Wait, a couple more months before start to train him. Will come naturally eventually.  Lazy mummy now…

Oh on pomegranate. This fruit is good for constipation- with the seeds and full with Vitamin C. During my wedding, my mom has been asking me to look for the leave of the pomegranate tree. The tree must bear red flower. The leaves will be placed together in the basket which carry the ‘peng kim’/ dowry. What it is for? I don’t know. It’s just a custom to follow. Usually I never question my mom on all this custom and traditional way of handling thing. I never know about it and I guess I’ll not be able to pass it down to my boy too.
