Quick Short Trip to Sabah, Kota Kinabalu

Quick Business Trip to Sabah 🧳🌅 Just back from a short work trip to Kota Kinabalu (KK) — even with a packed schedule, still managed to enjoy some amazing views and delicious food! 📍 Had my event at the KK Convention Centre — spacious, modern, and the sunset view from there was beautiful. Also caught the sunset at KK Waterfront — chill vibes and a great spot to wind down after work. 🌅 If you have more time, I’d definitely recommend heading to Tanjung Aru Beach — the sunset view there is next-level and totally worth the visit. 🏨 Stayed at Cititel Express KK — clean, comfy, and super convenient. Ideal for a business trip. 🍽️ Food highlights: • Borneo Fried Chicken – crispy and super tasty • Malay BBQ fish & sotong – smoky and flavorful • Fresh local seafood – always a win in KK • Kedai Kopi Kim Hing Lee(生肉面) Meat soup noodles – warm, hearty, and full of flavor! (Non Halal) 🛍️ Also had time to walk around the local market — lots of local snacks and souvenirs. A fun way to experience KK’s laid-back vibe. 📝 Next time, I’m definitely planning a proper island trip — maybe Sapi or Manukan. Didn’t have the chance this time, but it’s on my list! KK = business, beautiful sunsets, and amazing food. Can’t wait to return #malaysiatravel #staycation #travel #thingstodo #seascapes #familytravel #beachlife #seafood #chill生活 #enjoylife
