Travelogue - Food and Restaurant

Dine together in Sabah (while acting edition)

Greetings reader. Today, I have quite the special restaurant/café that some of you chocolate fans would especially find very attractive or even a straight out must go that I'll be sharing with you guys today. This special place is located in Tawau, Sabah and it's none other than Teck Guan Cocoa Village & Tawau Cocoa Café!

Here is a photo I took from the interior facing out with Infinix Note 30

Also, let me in you guys on a little story. During my first time coming to this Teck Guan Cocoa Village & Tawau Cocoa Café, I was with a small group people. We were on a task to film a short story video relating to customer service, which was our assignment at the time. Initially, we only planned to record and then go home, but we genuinely got distracted by the beauty and charm of it. Long story short, we ended up exploring around and share a small meal together.

Here is a photo of me standing in-between their signature "I ❤️ Tawau"

As for the food, it's actually is pretty good. We didn't order much, just the "Banana Coco" which cost around RM12/Serving. It's basically bananas that are cut to slices before served with toping together with a chocolate dipping. It's surprisingly sweet and delicious, which make a must try for you sweet lovers out there!

And finally, I'll include the location here so you guys can easily find this modest but charming place as well. Have fun sharing memories and delicious course together!

The cinema was officially reopened under LFS management in November 2012, continuing its legacy as a cherished entertainment venue in Kuala Lumpur.

Ticket price range from RM12 to RM 60.
