The seller was kind enough to wrap it all up in a box. Phew, that solves my problem of bringing it into the cargo! Just bring that box and checked that in at the airport. Total damage for 8 kg worth of seaweed? Just RM75. Trust me, you won't get that kinda price back in the peninsular Malaysia for 8 kg of high grade seaweed!
Ok, I thing you should bring back from a visit to Tawau in Sabah is (among other things) ... seaweed. Yerp, seaweed. I'm not an expert in nutrition or anything like that but just do a short search in Google and you can read a lot about the benefit of consuming seaweed. I can tell you that seaweed is a highly nutritious food! Why don't go and grab some while you are in the vicinity of Tawau, Sabah. Where to get seaweed in Tawau? Well, of course at their Pasar Besar (big market). Everyone in Tawau knows this place and any taxi driver can bring you here if you are interested to get seaweed. Once you arrived, head on the first level. There, you can see a lot of stalls selling varieties of seaweed. Yerp, seaweed here has a few grades. Apparently the dark green one is of the highest grade. Grade AAA and of course is a bit more pricey than the rest of the lower grade seaweeds. How mush does seaweed of Grade AAA cost? Well the price tag is RM12 per kg. But one can easily get RM10 per kg without much bargaining (or should I say no bargaining at all?). So, I bought all the varieties of seaweed for my mom back home. The seller was kind enough to wrap it all up in a box. Phew, that solves my problem of bringing it into the cargo! Just bring that box and checked that in at the airport. Total damage for 8 kg worth of seaweed? Just RM75. Trust me, you won't get that kinda price back in the peninsular Malaysia for 8 kg of high grade seaweed! So, the next time you visit Tawau in Sabah, don't forget to bring back seaweed as a gift!
