Mamutik Island, Sabah

We have been to Sapi Island, been to Manukan Island too.

So, this time, we try a smaller island - Mamutik.

Indeed, this smaller island has a super clear sea water, a great place for snorkeling.  Clean, white, sandy beaches too.

Unfortunately, when we were there earlier this month, the weather was super hot and it is also the jellyfish season.  Lots and lots jellyfish floating in the clear water, scary.  But according to the life guard, it is not really a big deal, if you got stings by the jellyfish, just come over to the life guard booth, they will spray the vinegar (cuka) on the effected area - that's is the only cure.. interesting!

And also according to the guard, when the water gets hotter, all the jellyfish will return to the deep sea.  True enough, around 10am there are fewer jellyfish around, and we can start our snorkeling activity.

We left the island around 1pm, cannot stay for too long, its just too hot during.  We were told that they have not had any rain in that area for 3 months.  

Wow, Kuching banjir tapi Sabah kemarau pulak.

Mummy:  No, sayang, you can get the infected if you get near to someone who got infected.

Kuching Food Truck | Hungry Dino

Now that we have food trucks in Kuching,  why not take the opportunity to try out these  food prepared by our young generation.  We not only have 1 but 3 food trucks in total around Kuching at the moment.

So, here's our 1st food truck experience in Kuching.  The Hungry Dino.

They are located at Jalan Laksamana, near Maybank.  Opens from 7.30pm.

*update Sept 2016, they will be at Kai Joo Lane night market every Friday and Saturday.

The menu..

We had..

Aglio E Olio - RM7

Chicken sandwich and pulled beef sandwich - RM8 & RM9 each.

You can choose between the white or the black charcoal bun, but my kids don't like the look of the black bun, so we choose the normal white bun.

Overall the sandwiches are a bit dry and the pasta a bit bland.
Maybe my expectation was too high due to the 'Eat Street' show on 'NatGeoPeople' channel.  But, it all good, and we will come back again for sure.

The search for another 2 food trucks continues..
