THE SUMMIT CAFE
Read moreIf you're curious or adventurous by nature, and your taste buds are itching, then this is the restaurant for you. You're guaranteed an exotic culinary experience. Very popular, this is one of the few places where you can try Kelabit cuisine, an ethnic group from central Borneo. Choose from the many dishes on the buffet: ginger chicken, tripe in sweet and sour sauce (for the more intrepid), pounded fish and, above all, the famous bario rice. Arrive before 11:30 a.m., as dishes go fast.
SABERKAS NIGHT MARKET
Read moreIt's 5 a.m. and Mirir wakes up, but only on Thursdays and only at the end of the day. Much livelier than the city's other night markets and just recently renovated, this is a must-see spot. You'll find yourself strolling among the many tempting stalls in a festive atmosphere. Satay skewers, sushi, desserts (including apam balik), the choice is varied. Handicrafts and fresh produce are also on sale. For barbecue fans, don't miss the "smoke house", where you'll find several stalls selling grilled meat or fish.
