Hello everyone 👧. In my previous posts, I mentioned my trip to Keningau to [attend a friend's wedding](https://ecency.com/hive-141359/@tampilyne/journey-to-my-friend-s), [my staycation in a quiet homestay](https://ecency.com/hive-141359/@tampilyne/my-experiences-of-a-homestay), and [my visit to Taman Bandukan Riverside Resort](https://ecency.com/hive-141359/@tampilyne/family-trip-at-taman-bandukan). The next day, we traveled back home from Keningau to Kota Kinabalu via Tambunan route. Our driver has changed from my Sister to @butwo. We want to visit or stop at many places on our way back home. This road trip will be handled by @butwo, who is the right person to be in charge of driving. This is because he knows the route to the location we want to visit while travelling back home. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVB5o5rFMSk5cmnUxPfSdXuuMj29EswsTkaCAfjU8x6wB/1.jpg) Our first stop was at [Sinalau Bakas Rompon, Tambunan, Sabah](https://www.google.com/search?q=Sinalau+Bakas+Rompon%2C+Tambunan%2C+Sabah&tbm=lcl&sxsrf=ALiCzsZWa78_sU1s_EjGJd-g0bDpMOld7Q%3A1668408984970&ei=mOZxY_XZOtrn4-EPzN2XoAQ&oq=sinalau+bakas+rompon&gs_lcp=Cg1nd3Mtd2l6LWxvY2FsEAEYADICCCY6BQgAEIAEOgYIABAWEB5QAFiCCWCmFmgAcAB4AIABigKIAecGkgEFMC41LjGYAQCgAQHAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz-local#rlfi=hd:;si:5594724683711879937,l,CiVTaW5hbGF1IEJha2FzIFJvbXBvbiwgVGFtYnVuYW4sIFNhYmFoSK2d0pSZroCACFpDEAAQARACGAAYARgCGAMYBCIjc2luYWxhdSBiYWthcyByb21wb24gdGFtYnVuYW4gc2FiYWgqCAgCEAAQARACMgJtc5IBCnJlc3RhdXJhbnQ,y,ZVTZATxZvHo;mv:[[5.57315927731903,116.2832921320562],[5.572799322680971,116.28293046794379]]). This place is famous for its local traditional food and drink, especially *Sinalau Bakas*. We call smoked barbequed wild boar as *Sinalau Bakas*. One of my Dad's favorite dishes, my Mum purchased 1 kg of it to eat at home for dinner with family at night later. My Mum also bought *Tuhau*, which is spicy wild ginger paste from this place too. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQ3ELt4MDn12yga5ANG3whHgREeyHxKPxXtKaedRVo7fw/2.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWMsWK8wS4hx9x12beA7rqsXvvSvTPDcm5hFERUCmGxSL/3.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeEXVmbbQP6ckpHULC68FfWo4DkBJEXfFMLH6hKx4VEHh/4.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNz8TXpD1WzLGSpi75G3CZ9hoDGdkhpCuYh6F3ggc1r8u/5.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSpZHRWrQiP6Gd9xwQKyp6bHPUVuMhyUWjcoJL9TDMQK8/6.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWsvTDRBXYjfTxuwoR1mVZD2ZoYjTxjwwrMy4TqW6Wpa1/7.jpg) The rice wine below is called Lihing. We usually use it to make Sup Lihing or rice wine chicken soup. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZQbXuEyAKygjBrSWTdR3JSKn4z1hgfUdYrjBhCYPBhZH/8.jpg) During the lockdown period in the year 2020-2021, many people were forced to stay inside and took up gardening as a hobby. Plants that were ignored before suddenly became popular, and some people willingly went to the roadside to steal them to plant in their home gardens or sell on social media platform. Nowadays, most people do not work from home, and they have no time to maintain their gardens. These wild plants now survive from people plucking them out in the wild.

I saw two dogs approaching @butwo as we waited for the *Sinalau Bakas* that my Mum bought to be prepared by the seller. @butwo showed his hand to the dogs to see what they would do next. The yellowish brown dog showed her belly to @butwo, while the black dog did nothing. We continue our next journey after collected the *Sinalau Bakas*. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRhqcNJ55CPeBi8gx2V8favEztsbU7iUAWDBCgUAqBPuA/11.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNMXCnvZpiZXGLsRNrCJtuKmFizDp4xqGkmzEGhYVRckm/12.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaHXtFeJvzt18Aw4JKEKEvSypH1STBPh24hkYTbkc1SR1/12.5.gif) We will have lunch at our second stop, [Tambunan Town](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pekan+Tambunan/@5.6684104,116.3659116,19.07z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x323c80e136352213:0x7eae81767c501176!2sTambunan,+Sabah!3b1!8m2!3d5.721291!4d116.410779!3m4!1s0x323c86d49f507c43:0x9e761b5dc2a74e82!8m2!3d5.6685876!4d116.3662801). We entered a Jawa Muslim Restaurant for lunch. We ordered Iced Chinese Tea, Mee Rojak and Soto Ayam for our meals. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTr9929zKSiQJ9hkmz1UAtyiGvJ1N5RdcCEZV289Xq7c1/13.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTbw42eP9w8Gy1yMzZvXmF2hZ5VQJfocJse73YeUuj8jF/14.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdHMt4D84atr5vCgc4Zgu5g3zQMBWTD7aCvsWN2Sd5FsE/15.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNsfHpPxUJjQWQHNKEy1knVZqYJaTBvgicJBgGbvAiM4D/16_18.gif) During our lunch, we heard a drunk man singing. We found this drunk man relaxing at the bus stop and holding a cup of *Tumpung*. *Tumpung* is fermented rice wine, or *Tapai* drinks as we call it. Overconsumption can make some people drunk. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbFUzFHwNrhsVAX7LTbyRhUBw69rGbUTSYuw382sT8DMm/19.jpg) We continued our journey after completing our tour in Tambunan Town. The next route was a hilly one. This fog-filled hill route had three heavy loaded lorries on it, which caused many cars to drive slowly, including ours. Luckily, @butwo was the driver. He was the bravest of us four when driving to overtake another car in fog. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYnUHkAbMxgmuig84RZXZbJkuR54PgmfyDhyjzVZXCDu2/20.gif) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdCyDchfdVXCBGdJHSDqFbCJyWehULaSADti562GdkUZE/21.jpg)

Third stop, [Gunung Alab Motel and Restaurant](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Gunung+ALAB+Motel/@5.8234989,116.3187804,14.52z/data=!4m16!1m7!3m6!1s0x323b794ec3d164e1:0xdb2ddd2c9bd490e1!2sGunung+Alab!3b1!8m2!3d5.83!4d116.3413889!3m7!1s0x323b7ebac07f6a89:0xb072c8c7e5b7e7d1!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d5.8131518!4d116.3382015), a rest stop around the highest peak of Tambunan. We stop here for a toilet break. I visited here before and the pastries sold here were very delicious. It's a must for us to buy pastries when we stop by here. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTgGFC2YMrWyWqvqes6iSuEgmn6b8Uc6PYwhb5YBMxhAB/24.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPQKSfT3q7RingVA5vhyGdowZ5J3ENjgRy9YXTX2nuhwo/25.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbMYteAR4rPH7eJAS5kb5jAikpr8JRKN15drJA75WLs6x/26.gif) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcrXAAYjw58TgYSNyQ5Spi4L7g35BkzAXBFNbiWMYkhTV/27.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbDqPKqnpPRvx5XqC4twsTzF2rj1HJcjmMfWwhBxNeg4y/28.jpg) Here's another black dog walking towards us or @butwo. @butwo always attracts animals to him with his charm. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaGmR7nVTTgBM17rqEvcaJq9bzwsRvQegdpzcH2banBkV/29.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSYoHzDAFmnqc2iAba9dmEaigZTTUvAvEJrZrbNBvnYe1/30.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmfNTQM1koHq9TuMsR1Cw97s42TgB919jkWVmietbYmADJ/31.jpg) Uh Oh. It's raining with heavy fog. We must always turn on the car light when driving carefully on the fog-filled road for safety. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPJTwNb13BQTxpEvHAcrFtPgwZkV1Jov8wWfyxCmfZ9tW/33_34.gif) Passing by a building that brought back happy memories when I was young. Gunung Emas Highlands Resort is one of the places my Dad likes to take me and my family for family outings. During my visit, there was also a mini zoo there. Currently, this building is not in use as a business. The rumor I heard was that the former business owner had passed away and no successor had taken over the business. Such a waste. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmc6w8YvsXQDxhMcQh243PAJu15VK7R4K6QL9Wu5YuDPRZ/35.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQEVMjU824Fhf2XVM65JQgsS4Gn6zYnghLQMAQ53PBXev/36.gif) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZjYBrc5WwRtnFyhJZGGX1JAnKBc45UPfS3q5aPNjvHqs/37.jpg) We have reached the peak of the hill and we are facing a problem here. This road was disconnected one year ago as a result of erosion caused by frequent rains. We can use this road now, but it's very muddy and uneven. Driving here is kind of torture for a car. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmapyZT1LPKbQz9vzPhfWDsVn6jGYNeyuVyTnsV91UMnsp/38.gif) We had planned on stopping by another place in Penampang, but my younger brother who works at Pulau Pinang sent us bad news. He video called my Mum to tell her, he was in a minor car accident that injured a motorcycle rider. He asked for immediate financial assistance for medical fees and compensation for the rider. This matter ruined my Mum's mood for further outings. Therefore, we just went directly back home. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQt7MCkMngwTsnfdqN4H8kazQpKqo2Y9NMdv7XLNUVBBZ/39.jpg) I was welcomed by my dog, Uku Chan when I sat on the couch in the living room for a rest. Before I sent my Sister's muddy car to car wash services, I played with Uku Chan as he blocked my way to another location.
