Tuaran town is just 34 km from Kota Kinabalu. It's half an hour scenic drive via the "Sulaiman highway" passing through the countryside.
The landmark of Tuaran town - a nine-storey Buddhist pagoda.
We were lucky as there were still plenty of durians, langsats, mangostins and other fruits for bargaining in the afternoon.
Then, we came across this local family selling Chinese youtiao((油条) and pancakes
Crossing the the Mengkabong mangrove river.
Greeted by these "horses"before driving into Tuaran town.
A small town with a population of about 50,000 and it's worthwhile a visit especially on Sunday, where the weekly "Tamu" market is held.
It's RM3 per kg for the mangostin.
Langsat was at RM2 per kg.
Plenty of common local fruits - on the left was the "Cempedak", an exotic fruit of Borneo. It's almost similar to jack fruit but with a much more honey flavour. Jungle durians in the center and "bambangan" a local fruit, always refer to as wild mango.
The daughter was making the peanut butter pancakes.
The cheap pricing was tempting, so we brought some langsats, mongotsins and durians and headed home.
Enjoying the fruits at home.
