Apparently kelapa bakar (roasted coconut) and coconut jelly are some of Sabah’s specialties. We stopped by this stall on our way back from Nexus Karambunai for some fresh coconut juice and home-made coconut jelly. The kelapa bakar looked curiously tempting but I wasn’t in the mood for adventure especially after a heavy meal so we skipped the black, wood-burnt coconuts.

The jelly taste pretty much like our home-made version of agar-agar gula melaka with coconut except this one is without the gula melaka and slightly richer with coconut milk. I actually find it to be a little bland without gula melaka eventhough it’s sweetened.

The stall also sells lokan panggang (grilled clams), lokan mentah (raw clams), rice, soto ayam and home-made crackers. We bought the crackers to munch while on our journey to the airport. Good stuff.

This picture was taken at Tanjung Aru beachside. Peter’s friend drove us here for drinks just before I checked in at the airport. A pretty convenient way to serve coconut juice!
