As promised, party planner Renaissance of Borneo delivered one of Kota Kinabalu’s most high-profile parties on Thursday, 17 December.
With subtle lighting, the KK Waterfront’s biggest night club, B.E.D. (Best Entertainment Destination) was transformed into a pastel-coloured playground, which accentuated the size of the venue and gave impact to the theme, Elegance in White.
Chivas, as one of the main sponsors, had a Welcome Drink Station set up at the entrance and party goers were greeted with a shot of Chivas and a mixer of their choosing.
True to Sabah’s party spirit, those who attended Elegance in White stayed true to the theme of white and the venue slowly filled with beautiful people wearing a manner of all-white and partly-white outfits.
DJ Ash got the crowd going with some bopping tunes before DJ Fine China took over the reigns to put his own particular spin on the party.
Although Elegance in White perhaps fell a little short of the descriptions in the press releases, it was an overall success and Borneo looks forward to future events organised by Renaissance of Borneo.
Ice Bar, unlike what the name might suggest, is one of Kota Kinabalu’s hottest nightlife venues, filled with beautiful people up for a party any time of the year, but especially on New Year’s Eve.
But not just on New Year’s Eve. Nope, Ice Bar, in the habit of pushing party limits as they are, will be throwing a massive party that stretches over 2 nights, both New Year’s Eve and the 1st of January, making Ice Bar’s party the longest, the last of 2009 and the first of 2010!
What you can expect at this massive Sabah New Year’s Eve & New Year’s Day celebration is 6,000 megawatts of bass power, 3,000 party people wanting to say goodbye to 2009 and hello to 2010, 16 hours of partying hard, 13 DJs for your entertainment and 9 dancers.
The tickets are RM70 each, and aside from the quality entertainment that Ice Bar’s got lined up for this New Year’s extravaganza, you’ll also get a free drink, a party pack and entry into the lucky draw for some awesome prizes.

But please, don’t believe me. Moon Bell Restaurant in Kota Kinabalu will provide you with all the proof that you need know that once you’ve eaten northern Chinese, sweet n sour anything from that Chinese takeaway back home will pale in comparison.
Moon Bell Restaurant shines on KK’s main road, opposite Wisma Merdeka, halfway between the Hyatt and Capital Hotel. It’s open for lunch and dinner every day of the week, except Mondays, so plan your culinary itinerary accordingly.
The menu is not as elaborate as some of the Chinese eateries here in KK, but that’s a good thing, as they do a few things, and do them well. And do they ever.
All the meats, except pork, are represented; duck, chicken, lamb, beef and seafood all feature with at least 4 dishes to choose from in each category. Once you’ve made the difficult decision of choosing a mouthwatering dish, you’ll realise after tasting it that you will have to choose another, and another.
Is the spicy tastes? The rich aromas? The way seemingly ordinary potato sets the juices flowing like when Remy in Ratatouille pops different types of food in his mouth and imagines the flavours like fireworks on his palate?
Yes to all of them. It’s true of Moon Bell’s food, you can’t go there just once. It’s the type of food you crave. The type of food that makes you sit up in bed at 2am, smack your lips and say to yourself, “I can really do with big helping of Moon Bell’s Stir Fried Lazy Crab.”
It happens.
There are, of course, alternative ways to get there too, of which you can read in this article posted last year.
The Chinese New Year holidays are past, but the memories remain. One of the more memorable Lion Dances Sabahbah.com encountered this festive season was at Kota Kinabalu’s Waterfront, where we saw a spectacular Chinese New Year Lion Dance at The Loft.
