W.P. Labuan & Brunei Trip 2013
Date: 10 (Sunday) - 13 (Wednesday) February 2013
Date: 10 (Sunday) - 13 (Wednesday) February 2013
Woke up late today since I had to wait for my friend to finish work in the afternoon before going out around Labuan Island. Don't feel like going out alone anyway. Destinations for the day were mostly on the other side of the island.
Surrender Point Memorial
Located at the West side of the island, near Pantai Layang-layangan. Pantai laying-layangan is a 2008 UN Beach. In other words, it was awarded to its cleanliness and view. Surrender Point is the location where the Japanese surrender North Borneo to the Australian at the end of WWII
Nearby is the Peace
Park, a Japanese garden. The garden is quite big and a great place to take a
stroll or jog.
Sunset view
This side of the island
is the best point to see the sunset. We purposely chosen the time so that we
would be able to see the sunset. There are a lot of places to view them along
the way, either at the beach or at the wave breakers along the beaches. I had
my view at Pantai Batu Manikar.
Anjung Ketam
Being in Labuan won’t be
completed without eating seafood. This time our dinner is located at Anjung
Ketam, Tg Aru. There are few other restaurants along the road but I think this
place is one of the most popular one.
Ordering is typical at
other seafood restaurant. U choose ur sea creatures and they’ll cook for u. I ate
my favorite food – tempura squid, chili crab and some veggies. Pretty simple
but very filling. Compared to the place I ate at Labuan town, the taste is
almost similar. But take note, there are minimum weight when ordering. E.g crab
has to be at least 1kg, squid has to be at least 250grams.
By the time we're done, it's almost 10pm. Being in Borneo, 10pm here is practically more like 11pm so it's straight to the bed.
