The sunset over Kota Kinabalu is world-class, especial
ly when viewed over the rooftop terrace of the Promenade Hotel. I didn't spend much time in KK, as the Malaysians call it, but what I saw of it was reminiscent of one of our urbanized cities in the province such as Bacolod or Davao.
ly when viewed over the rooftop terrace of the Promenade Hotel. I didn't spend much time in KK, as the Malaysians call it, but what I saw of it was reminiscent of one of our urbanized cities in the province such as Bacolod or Davao.During our one night in KK, we had a fabulous seafood dinner at Salut with my boss and people from the research agency in we working with. Then I stepped into party mode. We tried Bed along the waterfront, but the crowd was made up of young, lousy dancers and the entertainment was a really bad (I'm sorry for this) Filipino cover band. Our last stop 
was Shenanigan's, an Irish pub/club at the Hyatt and that's where we found more fun partyers and a really good R&B group. We also met a cool Malaysian restaurateur and photographer, Suchen, who invited us to his newly opened wine bar & restaurant, XO Grill, in Jalan Gaya. We made it there the next day after lunch at this superbly exotic restaurant called Ocean's Seafood right beside the Promenade Hotel. Lobster, tiger prawns, 
crabs and mantis prawns...no wonder I broke out in an allergy right after lunch! It was worth it though. At XO, we had a glass of wine (that was a tad warm) while Suchen told us about his trip to 18 countries in 3 years, saving money working in a bar in London to make the trips, the collection of photos he had amassed at the time which he would be publishing as a coffee table book. Such an interesting life.
