Sabah 1st Monumental Bird's Nest Concept Ballroom - Promenade Hotel

Last Thursday, I've attended an Appreciation Dinner at Promenade Hotel, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

I went there with my elder sister for representing our Travel Agent Company, everyone of us had one door gift before we entered to the Hall. =)

The purpose for that night was to introduce the Master Chef from Guang Zhou, China and the newly furbished Sabah 1st Bird's Nest Rafflesia Grand Ballroom.

Pic: The exterior of the Grand Ballroom. It's look similar with the Olympic Bird's Nest (Beijing National Stadium) but not with rounded corner building.

Pic: The new furbished hall was beautiful internally and externally. As for the lighting, it's will change according to different festival theme. Red for Chinese New Year, Green for Hari Raya, Pink for Valentine Day; Deepavali etc...

The colour for that night was the four main colour of Malaysia's flag. I can't get the whole picture, unless I took it from up above the stage or the ceiling. ;P


Pic: We had quite a fun time with all the musics, life band performance, singing and dancing performance for that night.


Pic: Master Chef from Guang Zhou creatively prepared nine (9) - course Chinese Set Dinner for all the representatives of Travel Agent, Sabah Tourism Board, Secondary Schools, Corporate partners and many others that I can't recall.

The first dish was 1 Malaysia Combination. It had a mix of seafoods, beef, mushrooms etc.

The soup was full of braised chicken that we can't finish!!

Pic: Kota Kinabalu's very own Emcee who have been invited for almost 200 wedding dinner or events. He can sing, tal and entertain people with laughter. The management had invited him for a song or two.


Overall, the dinner was successful and the set dinner was nice and different from any other dishes at other places or previous concept of their hotel.

p/s: Nice environment for wedding invitation or any other parties.
