Me and a friend, Willy, went to KDCA’s (KadazanDusun Cultural Association) Hall or better know as Hongkod Koisaan (Unity Hall) at Jalan Penampang around 12PM. The highlight of the festival is the Unduk Ngadau or Beauty Contest which is held inside the Hongkod Koisaan.

Usually I attend the Tadau Kaamatan to see the stalls and watch the cultural performances held outside the Hongkod Koisaan. The events starts at the morning with traditional sports competition… not sure what are all of them but to name some, they are like mipulos (arm wrestling), migazat dukug, etc… When we arrived at the Hongkod Koisaan, most of the games have completed… we only manage to watch the mipulos for a while but it also quite pack with people… so we can’t get proper angle to take photos.

Then we went to take some bites… have not taken proper breakfast that morning, so it was brunch. We were looking for ‘hinugu vogok’ to eat but could not find any. We asked one of the Rela, and he said maybe they are no longer selling vogok this year… duhhhh… Vogok is traditional food for KadazanDusun bah… well probably they scared of H1N1… Anyway, since we can’t find our traditional food, we decided to eat western instead… KFC… to punish whoever bans those meals!!!

More photos…
