Recent Trip to Labuan

Recently I took a weekend trip to Labuan, visiting my grandma and relatives. Of course, to rest after a long and hactic working year. I haven't taken leaves for few months and now that my CEO has resigned, it's much easier to take leaves and I can plan my holidays better.

During my trip to Labuan, I saw a fruit that I haven't seen or eaten for more than 10 years! This fruit grows in jungle but I heard from my Aunt that nowadays people plant it in the orchard. We called the fruit Buah Talap. It has a very fragrant smells when it ripe and the fruits are aplenty and so sweet. I remember when I was young, we siblings would eat one whole fruit ourselves. This fruit has season too. So only certain time of the year we can find Buah Talap sells in the Pasar Tani. You can only get it from Pasar Tani.

So, I was so overjoy when I saw this fruit again in Pasar Tani, Labuan. What else, I bought 2. Unfortunately, they are not ripe yet. So I ended up brought it back with me to KL. 1 day later it was ready to eat.





Another place worth mentioning is the shop selling ABC. I can't remember the shop name but it's near the market and Utama Supermarket. The ABC there have variety of choices and hugh portion. Ingredients use are of big portion too. Not like what we get in KL..all ice and colouring...



The place is always full. Below is one of the ABCs I ordered. I went there twice.
