Tawau - Sabah Negeri Di Bawah Bayu.

Have you all ever heard about "Tawau" before this ? Let me tell you a bit about this country.
This is a little bit about the demography and history about Tawau. Here we go, Tawau is the administrative center of Tawau Division, Malaysia and the third largest town of Sabah after Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan. Tawau is located at the south-east coast of Sabah which faces the Celebes Sea to the east and the interior mountain ranges to the west. The main town area can be divided into three sections, i.e. Sabindo, Fajar and Tawau Lama or Old Tawau. Federal House, where most government offices such as the Immigration Department and the National Registration Department are located is found in Sabindo area. Fajar is the commercial area, where major banks are here such as HSBC and Maybank, BSN, Public Bank, are located. The Tawau District Court is also situated here.

Tawau has a lot to offer to local & foreign tourists.

I am sorry to say but you have underestimated this coastal town of Tawau. If you wish to indulge in  the cool mountain stream, flora and fauna as well as the symphony of jungle creatures orchestra, Tawau Hills Park  is place for you. Tawau Hills National Park or Tawaurians called 'TABLE' has picnic areas, a vast camping site, and cabins, mainly visited by local residents during weekends. From Tawau town, take a cab , 30 minutes drive to get here. Located 24 km from Tawau town, the park is accessible by road transport. The Tawau River flows across the park and tumbles over several attractive waterfalls. The Table Waterfall has created a natural flowing pond for swimmers. Shelters, toilets and changing rooms are within vicinity. Entering this park is actually walking into the oldest virgin forest in the world.

Just when you thought Tawau is just a gateway to the world’s top diving destination. Tawau Harbour is used as a transit point to many neighbouring islands, such as Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai & Mataking islands. Sipadan Island is the only oceanic island in Malaysia. It is rated as one of the best diving sites in the world. Mabul Island is a small oval shaped island of 200,000 m² ringed with sandy beaches. It is perched on the northwest corner of a larger 2 square kilometre reef.

There were A LOT of interesting places that we can go but I just can write and copy a part from the interesting places. 

Seafood ? & yes there were local cuisine for Tawau. Seafood stalls at the Sabindo hawker centre is located along the waterfront of town centre. At night, numerous stalls set up around the town. Many stalls sell Malay's foods like tasty chicken wings, nasi campur, variety of sate such as sate lembu, sate ayam, sate hati and sate empedal,'Terang Bulan', many types of fried foods such as 'goreng pisang', 'ubi goreng', 'cempedak goreng' and 'sukun goreng', variety of Jawa foods like mi jawa, murtabak jawa, gado gado, bakso and a Makasar specialty food 'Coto Makasar' and 'Sanggar' ( Bugis's name for fried bananas), ABC and Cendol and many types of Malay's cakes such as 'apam', 'kuih talam' and etc.
