Tawau, East Malaysia: Sunday June 19

This is new venue that the ship introduced, since the port of Semporna is now considered a safety risk. It is the 3^rd largest city in Sabah and located on the South- Eastern coast of Malaysian Borneo.

 

We walked along a market specially set up for Ramadan (Bazaar Ramadan local open market) to allow the Muslim population to purchase their food supplies for the evening after fasting all day.

 

Amazing dishes, local homemade delicacies and special drinks were being sold in specially constructed stalls and cooking tents. The smells and foods were most appealing.

 

We then visited a small local chocolate and cocoa-processing factory that discussed their world-class agricultural, production and manufacturing methods providing material to a global customer base including Nestle, Mars Corporation together with local products under their Hoko brand.
