"Chili Padi" is a hot favourate in Malaysia because of the fruity taste and extreme spiciness.
Tea or coffee with some local snacks served before river cruise.
Rain clouds hovered over the river when we started the cruise.

An inbound ground operator named his company as Chili Padi Tour SDN BHD and operates the Proboscis monkeys & fireflies tour in Kampong Tamau near Kota Belud, about an hour and 25 minutes drive from Kota Kinabalu. We did an inspection tour to sample their products.
The restaurant at the river bank.
This long-legged, s-necked egret.
There were only a few proboscis monkeys, but we were lucky to get a glimpse of this dominant male.
We had to cut short our cruise because of the rain.
Buffet dinner before proceeding to watch fireflies.
Fireflies watching was about 15 minutes drive to another river from the restaurant. From the boat, we could see thousands of fireflies synchronizing their flashes. There was nothing like cruising along the river in the night to capture the beauty of this natural wonder.
