November 10, 2008 By: olombon Category: Eating Out, Korean

After years of waiting the KK Times Square Shoplots which is situated next to the Sutera Harbour Golf course along the Coastal Highway has finally been completed. Like most part of Kota Kinabalu City, it is built on a reclaimed land. Decades ago this area used to be a swallow sea bed, and it was not unusual to see fishermen walking along the beach during low tide catching crabs and clams. Presently, the KK Times Square Shoplots has a unique feature that all the shops are walled with tall big glasses. Giving all these shops a lot of exposure expescially at night, when the lights from the interior are shining brightly. In one of the corners of KK Time Square Complex there lies BBQ House, a true Korean Restaurant. BBQ House is run by a Korean owner, and is one of the first shop to open its door for business at Times Square.

October 07, 2008 By: olombon Category: West Coast

The west coast of Sabah is blessed with many beautiful beaches, while the popular ones have made it to the travelling books, there are still many beaches yet to be covered by the mass media. One of these less visit beaches, even by the local standard, is Melinsung Beach, which lies 28 km south of Kota Kinablu, and only 8 km away from Papar town. This 3 km long sandy beach is connected to a shallow sea bed and is constantly washed up by the gentle waves from the South China Sea. The tall Pine trees along the beach seem to go on forever, creating a great perspective view, and some drift woods scattered along the beach giving it a more rusty look. On a clear day when the big blue sky open up ones are easily enchanted by the beauty that nature provides. The unobstructed horizon also offers an unforgettable sunset view. Melinsung Beach is a much sort after addition, for those who prefer a serene, quiet, and peaceful beach. (more…)
