First Time In Sabah 🇲🇾 Explore Kampung And Food

We arrived by ferry from Labuan in the state of Sabah where we will be for a short while. We decided to stay in Menumbok, the village where the ferry lands and leaves from and sleep in some homestay. Let´s go out and explore this kampung a bit and try some of the food as well.

Thanks for sharing and showing us the walk about in that Menumbok kampung...just a typical kampung. Great to try some local food there. First time seeing those kuih. Well, thanks again for posting, Sir. Happy exploring Kota Kinabalu !

[@yvesthesleeve]

Cheers, my pleasure

[@oliverJJ0781]

Somewhere in 2010 if I not mistaken, I went to Menumbok to oversee a salvaging operation around 1 nautical miles from the shore. And also happen to know someone who catches lobsters for living there. During that time, there's no tap water supplies and they rely on well waters

[@yvesthesleeve]

Interesting

It's great here

[@MardhiahJames]

I think lamban almost look like pulut panggang, the inside probably fish floss or meat floss, like a very dry Rendang

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes maybe

[@cicievie]

Menumbok is only for ferry thats all. homestay either at kundasang or kota kinabalu, but recently i found out there's agreement between china and korea about homestay at kota kinabalu. they cant do homestay at kota kinabalu anymore because of that agreement

[@yvesthesleeve]

If you continue watching you will see there are quite a few homestays in Menumbok...

[@cicievie]

@@yvesthesleeve ya i watched all. but comparing to homestay at Kundasang, theres alot

Hello Sir, and welcome to Sabah, where you get to see many beautiful beaches as I did when I was in audit trip 4-5 years ago. You also might get to see many western and Korean tourist there. I think I said it many times already - I will plan to drive from Kuching straight to Tawau alone next year hopefully. Right now, 'hunting' for more money first.

[@yvesthesleeve]

There are lots of people who do that trip from Kicking, I met a few.

[@terencelee880]

@@yvesthesleeve Oh good. Bcos road is easier to access compared to old decades when it is only trunk road and quite dangerous

[@ninjaturtle6106]

Kampung Food are naturally cheaper bcos their business is run on their own property so no rent to pay.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Ah I see, makes sense

There are thousands of villages like this in Sabah and Sarawak and most of them are 90% local

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes I like those

[@alifhashim3752]

Sabah has officially been recognized as the poorest state in Malaysia recently. Used to be Kelantan, but Kelantan has overtaken it recently. Therefore you can see poverty everywhere.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Interesting to hear

[@ld-n1648]

@alifhashim3752 Excuse me, but you’re wrong. Please be updated on the latest statistics, and not on super old data. GDP per capita for Sabah in 2023 is rm36,020 while Kelantan is the lowest at rm16,567. 9) rm36,020 Sabah 10) rm32,199 Terengganu 11) rm25,967 Kedah 12) rm23,126 Perlis 13) rm16,567 Kelantan

[@ld-n1648]

Menumbok is just a typical small fishing village/very old fashioned town area, with a population of only around 4000 people.

[@alifhashim3752]

​@@ld-n1648Please check the latest Poverty Data from the Statistics Department of Malaysia. It clearly shows Sabah has the highest poverty rate in Malaysia. I cannot copy and paste here. So just type poorest state in Malaysia to get the statistics.

[@ld-n1648]

@@alifhashim3752 That’s because Sabah has almost 1 million stateless people (mostly illegal foreigners & refugees from neighbouring Philippines & Indonesia). They are contributing majorly to the state’s poverty rate, and they are Non Malaysians, who have been living in Sabah for decades. They are the ones living in the hundreds of water villages all around Sabah, while many local Sabahans and NGOs are contributing in helping their communities. I’m not denying the fact that there are Sabahan locals who are also living in poverty, but it’s not the majority. Sabah population is only around 3.6 million, with 1 million being stateless or illegal immigrants. Overall Sabah poverty rate is at 19.7%, with the stateless population (being around 27% of the total population), contributing to that rate.

Well, it always depends what kind of a deal you make, but it is often just a room, or a shared place, but sometimes also a full appartment.

Which part of Sabah are you? It looks like typical Sabah kampong area.

[@yvesthesleeve]

It is Menumbok, I say it several times in the video 😀
