Labuan, is a duty free island in Borneo. Well known for oil and gas industry as a hub, cheap booze, cheap tobacco and seafood.
But, if you ever come to Labuan, other than seafood, you must try the Ayam Baris. It is actually bbq chicken wings. Baris means in-line in English. The name is because of the wings arrangement when they were bbq-ed. It has the sweet and savory taste.
Too much seafood will cause gout, so you better eat ayam baris instead of munching on seafood everyday of your stay in Labuan.
You can come to Labuan via direct flight from Kuala Lumpur or via flight from Kota Kinabalu or Miri. If you fancy sea travel, you can reach Labuan via Kota Kinabalu or via Menumbok or via Limbang or via Brunei.
