1 Borneo Kota Kinabalu Sabah

1 Borneo! Have you ever heard this name? If not, never mind because I’m going to tell you what it is. 1 Borneo is the latest and the largest shopping mall in Kota Kinabalu or I can tell you that it is the largest in East Malaysia. Besides shopping mall, there are four hotels which is Tune Hotels, Novotel 1 Borneo, Mercure Hotel Kota Kinabalu and Best Western Courtyard Hotel. There is also Condominium build at the back of the shopping mall known as “Supercondo” .Look at the picture below.

Not 100% done yet.The behind part where still under construction is the Supercondo

Since my 1st year in University Malaysia Sabah, 1 Borneo is already under construction and today although not 100% done but the shopping mall is already open. I already visited once and it will be a new place for us student to look for entertainment. Furthermore it is located in front of my University. It is about 5KM from my University’s main gate and public buses are provided form my University to 1 Borneo.

There are 4 levels in this shopping mall. Ground floor is mainly for restaurant and Giant Hypermarket. Inside the mall, you can see all kind of shop selling various types of things. Well, I won’t introduce all the shop but there are few shops that I would like to show in my blog although they didn’t pay me for advertising them.



Bee Cheng Hiang 美珍香. Ok, what so special about this shop? There is nothing special actually, just that we always heard this name in most of the Singapore Jack Neo’s Movie. So, for me Bee Cheng Hiang should be the most famous shop selling “Bak Gua” in Singapore and what we have in 1 Borneo is the first branch in East Malaysia.(Don’t know how many branch in West Malaysia).For sure I’ll bought some back during coming Chinese New Year.




This shop “Crocs” with a crocodile symbol is selling footwear that not only for us human but also for giant. Look at the picture below, see the giant size footwear.








The only part that makes 1Borneo different from other shopping mall (beside KLCC Aquaria) is that it going to have a water a SEA WORLD. Yes, its going to have meant now haven got. Now you can just see the painting of the poster.



1 Borneo Handicraft and Cultural Centre is decorated like a cave in the jungle.

During my first visit, after survey all the restaurant in the 1 Borneo, finally I decide to take my dinner at “Chicken rice shop”. Why? Of course the first reason is budget. But what attracted me is that they are having a contest for celebrating their 50th outlet. To get the chance to win prizes, I took my dinner here.

Below are some picture I took in 1 Borneo Shopping Mall.
