We continued on our way to Semporna, stopping for lunch at the little town of Kunak. We found an excellent restaurant, well-patronised by locals, by the name of Fook Seng, definitely worth the detour of a few kilometres off the main highway. We had a delicious whole steamed fish and a plate of Chinese vegetables, accompanied by rice, soup and tea.

The most interesting place to stay in Semporna is Dragon Inn, a large resort complex built entirely over water. The comfortable air-conditioned room had gaps in the floorboards where you could look down and see the sea-water below. We wanted to eat at the resort's restaurant which is quite well-known but it was booked out for a wedding, so we walked into town to find a local meal and decided to have lunch at the restaurant before we leave tomorrow. It was an interesting time to be at Dragon Inn as it was the eve of Hari Raya, and this turned out to be the place where all the locals gathered to celebrate the end of Ramadan. We had to make our way past crowds of revellers, many of whom wanted to shake our hands or take photos with us, to get to the accommodation area, which, fortunately, was open only to guests of the resort.
