#kotakinabalutrip ### **First Impressions: "Wait, Is This a Postcard?"** Rolled into **Kg Pukat**—a sleepy stilt village near Kota Kinabalu—where wooden houses perch over turquoise water, fishing nets dry in the sun, and the air smells like **salt, seaweed, and last night’s grilled ikan**. No resorts, no tour buses—just *real* Sabah coastal life. --- ### **The "Oops" Moment** Tried to walk the narrow plank bridges like a local. *Failed.* Cue me wobbling like a drunk flamingo while giggling kids zoomed past barefoot. 🏃♂️💨 --- ### **Hidden Gem** **Sunset at the jetty**—where fishermen mend nets and the sky turns cotton-candy pink. Bonus: Buy **fresh-caught squid** (RM10/kg!) and grill it on the spot. --- ### **Local Bite** Auntie’s stall by the dock sells **"sambal ikan bakar"**—fish so fresh it might still flip if you stare too hard. Eat with hands, lick fingers, repeat. --- ### **Blunt Review** ✅ **Authentic AF**—zero tourist traps, just *kampung* vibes. ✅ **Photography heaven**—rustic boats, colorful houses, cats napping on nets. ✅ **Super close to KK**—20-min drive, perfect for a half-day escape. ❌ **No fancy facilities**—this is a *working village*, not a theme park. ❌ **Tide-dependent**—low tide = less photogenic (check timings!). --- ### **Quick Itinerary** ⏰ **3 PM**: Arrive, wander the bridges, chat with fishermen. ⏰ **5 PM**: Sunset photos + snack on fried *keropok* (fish crackers). ⏰ **6:30 PM**: Dinner at **Salut Seafood Restaurant** (10 mins away). --- ### **Final Verdict** **🌟🌟🌟🌟 (4/5)** For: **Travelers craving raw, unfiltered Sabah culture**. Skip if: You need WiFi or fear fishy smells. **#NoFilterNeeded #KampungVibes** **PS:** Bring small cash—most vendors don’t do e-wallets! --- **PPS:** Pair with a **Mari-Mari Cultural Village** visit for the ultimate *"city vs tradition"* day. 🏡✨

The moment you step in, you’re greeted by blooming faux sakura trees and rustic wooden huts, complete with traditional décor and family-style seating. The “Rendang Atuk” stall was bustling with smells of nostalgia, while the old bicycles and coconut carts felt straight out of a kampung movie scene. It’s a beautiful tribute to our roots, all under one roof. #MidValley #KampungVibes #CulturalSpring
