Hari Raya Aidilfitri Open House At Istana Kota Kinabalu Sabah

After visited the Likas Sport Complex, I went to the ISTANA where the Yang Di-Pertua Negeri Sabah Tun Satuk Seri Panglima Ahmadshah Bin Abdullah stay. The Istana is located in the city of Kota Kinabalu but it is build on top of a hill.

This is the entrance of the Istana and we are not allowed to drive into it. So have to park our car outside and walk on foot.

The main gate of the Istana. Still a long way to go. The Istana is at the top of this hill. I wonder how much petrol being consume a day when our Yang Di-Pertua Negeri Sabah and his family went in and out his Istana.

Finally we arrive. Well, the Istana is not as big as I imagine. The design of the Istana is also not so luxury. Bad news is that we are not allowed to go into the Istana. The Hari Raya Open house is held and the back of the Istana.

So we need to take this route to the back of the Istana.

Very Obvious, the food here is provided by the Promenade Hotel and also Bravely Hotel seem thier vehicle was here. Both of these hotels are rated 4-star in Kota Kinabalu.

The car in Istana. Wonder do Yang Di-Pertua Negeri Sabah Drive this?

Another bad news when I arrived in Istana is that they were packing up. Mean no more food for us.

Never mind, I walk around and take some picture. Enjoy the picture below.

The compound of the Istana is not as big as I imagine. But the view and the air here is really good.

A dry Swimming pool.

From the Istana, you can see part of the Kota Kinabalu Town. What do you think with this view?

Hari Raya Aidilfitri Open House In Likas Sport Complex Kota Kinabalu Sabah

Selamat Hari Raya to all my readers.Yesterday is the 1st day of Hari Raya,I have been to two places for free delicious food.There are the The Likas Sport Complex and Istana Kota Kinabalu Sabah.For this post,I’ll only post briefly about my visit to Likas Sport Complex Kota Kinabalu Sabah.

This is the Likas Sport Complex Kota Kinabalu Sabah where it is build for Sukma (forgot which year).

The Hari RayaAidilfitri Open House by the Ketua Menteri Sabah, Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Haji Aman and Menteri-menteri Kabinet Negeri Sabah is held here.

You can see that Ketua Menteri Sabah is busying shaking hand and kirim salam with all the visitor.

Inside the sport complex, it is crowded with people.The food here is mainly provided by most of the hotel and restaurant in Kota Kinabalu.

Due to the long queue for food, I had decided to go to the stall outside 1st.The stall outside got less people compare to the indoor stall.

Free mineral water and drinks… Free delicious food..The Satay really tasty with the Kuah Kacang

Then I spotted this….

Veda Blu ice cream car. This means that Veda Blu is here providing free ice-cream. Without a moment waste, I went to search for the stall.

Although I found it easily but the stall is packed with people. So in the end, I didn’t join the queue.

The indoor stall is still pack with people.This is a stall from Le MERIDIEN where it is a 5 star hotel in Kota Kinabalu. The foods here look nice and many people queue for it. After all, not every day you can eat the food cooked by 5-star hotel cook.

This is the stall from Lembah Impian Country Homes Resort.This is the menu of their free buffet.The queue here is long to so I can’t manage to take the picture of the food.

Next is the stall from Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa. This is another luxury resort beside Sutera Harbour Resort I had posted.

The stall next to Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa is Seri Melati. Well, I’m not sure about the background of this stall.

Then I come to the swimming pool side where there are also some food stalls here. The people here is less compare to the indoor too.

Here, again I had spotted Veda Blu and this time the queue is shorter. So I joined the queue and took two ice-creams. One is peach if I not mistaken and the other is Avogadro flavor.

This zone is special prepare for golden citizen and also for handicap. This really show that we are celebrating Hari Raya together.

As a conclusion, all the food here are almost similar but it is from different cook. So more or less the taste will be different too. I did not manage to taste all of it due to the long queue.After visited the Likas Sport Complex, I went to visit the ISTANA. This will be my coming post!

SMM Grand National Dota Tournament 2008

SMM Grand National Dota Tournament 2008 in Sabah had just passed last week. Recently my post always out of date due to the bad connection and also I’m busy with my course work. Anyway for those who know nothing about this tournament, you can still read some of it here.

This tournament is held all over Malaysia and open for all Malaysian’s Dota lover. The winner from each state will represent their state to compete with the winner from other state. For those who don’t know what is Dota, it’s really hard for me to explain but I can tell you that this is a simple computer game which can bring you lots of fun. The poster above showing some detail for the tournament. So you can enlarge it if you are interested.

The Tournament in Sabah is held in Cyber X which is a cyber café located in Damai, Kota Kinabalu.Below are some of the picture I took.

The cyber café is crowded with competitor and also supporter. Everyone is trying their best to win the game.

This is the first time I when to see Dota Tournament outside my University. I didn’t take part in it but just go to be supporter for my University Team call “I’m not Clan” .This team is our University Champion and they are going for this Tournament.

He is the manager of “I’m not Clan” and also my lovely course mate.

Here are the players in “I’m not Clan”. This picture is taken during their 1st match. They won this match easily. Well, “I’m not Clan” manage to go until semi final. The winner for this Tournament is a Team from Tawau “VZP” which got a very good skill and team work. Congratulation to them. As for my University team, they really did a good job.

After watching their first match, I went to walk around Cyber X and took some of this picture.

Cyber X is really big, the part I show in the above picture is for the tournament. The part showing in the picture below is for public gamer. The environment here is very comfortable.

Here are some of the Dota Character’s collections. This is only for display. Sorry for the reflection.

The Tournament is really excited and every team got a very good skill. After watching some match, I found that there are still lots of strategy can be used which I never thought of. Learn lots from this tournament about Dota.

Western Cuisine

J J western Cuisine is one of my favorite western food’s stall in Kota Kinabalu. It is located in Damai somewhere near the food court. Although it is not a high class restaurant with a very good environment but it is still my favorite. This is because the food here is delicious and the price is reasonable. The quantity given also satisfies me.

This is Lamp chop. If I’m not mistaken, it’s around RM13++

This is chicken chop. The price is around RM10++

From the picture you can see that the quantity is not less and it is very tasty too.
This is the western food stall I use to visit when I’m in Kota Kinabalu.So when I go back to Kuching, which stall I used to visit? If you are interested to know, visit my friend Crazyfool’s blog about the stall name “SUPERGRILL”. Just from the name you know how tasty the food will be. So if you are from kuching, don’t miss it.
