What to do in Sabah - PART 1

Hi,

As a Sabahan, a lot of my semenanjung friends will ask this question. Sometimes, I get a bit blur too. (Obviously, I grown up in a boarding life for the past 10 years) My siblings is the most trusted people I will ask since some of them at occasion do drive tourist/family/friends around. They knew good spots too! As I am married to KL man, I always wanted to entertain him and bring him around Sabah, well although he did amazing job in researching/following Sabah famous blog/insta and that makes him more knowledgeable than me. 

Desa Cattle Dairy Farm Kundasang Sabah.
Also known as Sabah own New Zealand land together with the black and white calf. (Lembu NZ)
1) Drive: 
I suggest you guys to have a local driver instead of driving on your own due to the road and loads of big loaded lorry and trucks. It takes roughly 2 hours drive from Kota Kinabalu.
2) Time:
The best is morning drive. So by the time you reach the town of Ranau, you get the chance to see the beautiful Mt Kinabalu. And of course the nice, windy and cold air is a plus!
3) Food:
If you're a big eater then pack your own! I bought Mama Homemade Nasi Lemak all the way up. At Ranau town also have KFC. Don't worry.
4) Fuel: Don't load your tank way to full since you gonna drive up the hill.(Berat nanti).
5) Fee: To enter the farm will cost you RM5(Adult) Free for under 7(Tell them this,Budak belum sekolah)
6) Products: They sell cow milk (plus Chocolate), Goat milk, cheese, yogurt, gelato/ice cream (plus chocolate), waffles, sausages, pizza and other merchandise (T-shirt,fridge magnet and keychain)
7) Activities: You can walk around the farm with a proper walking path. Wear shoes instead of slipper since you gonna dip you shoe in biochemical area to have a clean shoe before entering the barn area. You can feed the goat (RM1.50 per stack of grass) and give milk to the cow (RM1.00 per small bottle). You can watch the milking process too from the viewing room at higher ground (covered area).

Till next post. Hugs!

love,
