“Visiting the bustling Sandakan Central Market provides a contrasting change of scenery to Borneo’s rainforest experiences. There’s a variety of food stalls serving Malay, Chinese and Indonesian food. Sample kolok mee (egg noodles in dark soy sauce, with garlic, pork and barbecued beef), and salted terubok fish and bird’s nest soup, which is a delicacy in Sarawak.”
