Kaamatan Holidays
We have a 2 day holiday here in Sabah, to celebrate the Kaamatan (Harvest) Festival. Yesterday, my big brother, my boo and I went to Pasar Besar in town (to the Fish Market) to buy some shells to cook for dinner. But no such luck. Only bought some fish and veggies.
Unsatisfied that they couldn't find the shells, we then headed all the way to Tuaran to find them. It was a beautiful day after all, and we enjoyed the drive there..
We headed on to the fish market there but couldn't find the shells there either. We then had Tuaran Mee for lunch, and bought Lokan (cockles) and Coconut Pudding on the way back..
It was interesting to see how the Lokan are being cooked. But we just bought it raw and decided to cook it at home for our big dinner.
Once we reached home, we then got all the stuff ready for the dinner.. This is what we had.. Notice how we didn't have Tapai (local rice wine); instead we had Baileys Irish Cream, sponsored by Sarah, my brother's friend. Even mom liked it!
That's about it! I'm gonna enjoy the rest of my day now. I'm out.
