Thanks to Yoodo for sharing their story to us and spreading the love to us Malaysian!
It is no longer a new "thing" in Kota Kinabalu today. While people aiming for healthier lifestyle, there's increasing lifestyle concept cafes and restaurants blooming in the market.
Well, good for us as consumers, right?
What is POKE BOWL eventually? How does it exist?
Poke Bowl originated from Hawaii. A Hawaiian dish that is deeply rooted in Japanese cuisine. Poke means "cut into pieces" and refers to the slices or cubes of raw fish that are served in a bowl along with rice, dressing, vegetables and seasonings.

Here would be the list of Poke Bowl found in Kota Kinabalu!
If missing out in the list, let me know and I will add on here!
Blending art and coffee, add on with friendly services. Not too crowded, just parking is an issue.
Located at Lintas, next to 99 Speedmart. There's one Korean Cafe operated by brother and sister, both golfers and chosen Kota Kinabalu to live.
I like the patience of both brother and sister, somehow taught us Korean culture too.
Sister Namu shared that she love to bake and I shall say that their cake is not very fancy but surely simple while not very sweet. We love the simplicity that not rich in flavour.
More over, they do serve home made Korean buns, Macarons, and Korean specialties which I see only at Namu Cafe.
They are serving Korean noodles / Bibimbap and more Korean dishes.
Do you know that one of the largest income generation for Sabah is through TOURISM.
Finally we are able to travel across districts and states under the restriction of MCO.
While foreigners / tourists are not able to fly in to our country for the time being, why don't we as a Malaysian / as the backbone of Malaysia travel within our Malaysia?
For each spending at our tourist destination, we are actually creating the economy flow and creating jobs opportunity.
Well, noticed that so many good offers (CHEAPER AS COMPARED BEFORE MCO) to travel within Sabah, to go for staycation are affordable and some of them are up to 50% discount! Imagine from RM1,000 (3 days 2 nights staycation), it's only RM400.00 NOW!
Sabah, the Land below the Wind, within 2 hours we are reachable to our Ranau, Kundasang / Mesilau with cold air. Within 1 - 3 hours, reachable to amazing islands.
Shh... While resorts and companies are still govern under SOP, we as the "tourists" was favouring! LESS CROWD AND INSTAGRAMMABLE PHOTOGRAPHY!
Experiencing our million dollar sunset like a BOSS.
Perhaps everyone been looking for places to visit after more than 70 days being at home and not much of a flexibility.
We, Malaysian has been complaining traveling locally is so expensive now a day and huh! Now is the time to travel cheap (at least affordable) with classy rated services.
Have you ever wondered that such a view could be seen personally in Sabah?
Crystal clear sea water and with mirrored reflection.
An instagram-able jetty while having a quiet time. How about a getaway for you and your partner?
This resort that usually can have more than 80 guests, is currently allow to have 20 person visiting at one time, in accordance to the SOP of our national terms for this Pandemic condition.
The Chalet
Built with tropical hardwood by local islanders, it is spaciously
designed to give a cooling interior effect.
The Chalet
Wide bay windows allow
majestic views of the beach and crystal clear ocean water.
Each chalet
is equipped with a private balcony for you and your loved ones to relax
and enjoy the island breeze. The beach is just 10 steps away from the main door.
If you are lucky, you will be experiencing the blue tears that many wanted to see personally. Say, it's seasonal where luminescent plankton grown as a food for jelly fish. JELLY FISHES! We might need to be extra careful when we see's the blue tears, jelly fishes are harmful to us.
You might be wondering is it true there's "Blue Tears" in the world. Definitely yes, while a friend of mine personally saw two weeks ago.
Let's travel Sabah!
It's from RM395nett (Normal from RM450) for two nights with two person with the Full Board Meals and Sea Transfer package (Ends 31 August 2020 | For Malaysian only) :
Hmm.... I may say we need to have a basic confident before we start "the show".
Facebook Live have been around for the past few years. But this year, a high spike with educational and all kinds of sharing through Facebook Live during this MCO period. I have learnt quite a lot from various sifu during this two to three months, from my company sharing to social media and business sharing.
In fact, I didn't realise that I did quite a number of live session with friends and promotional for my online store as well. :)
Why Facebook Live?
It's trending and people are getting lazy to read, and if you are reading what I posted, you are a good reader! Yay!
Here am I sharing some live session that I did during this period of time ;)
In Chinese calendar of the fifth month, we will be having Dragon Boat Festival this month, spontaneously, I did a Live sharing session learning how to wrap the Chinese dumpling yesterday, it's my first attempt!
Many knew that I own KKBuy & Co., while Lifestyle Online Store is one of my source of income,making sure that products are with good quality and reviews, more over personally tried all the products while introducing to friends and family, nationally and internationally.
Nothing beats the trust of a person to another seller, doesn't it?
Here's a video with the introduction of my favourite STAR PRODUCT of my Store!
And glad that 10 out of 10 person I introduced, love this series! Food for our skin too!
Prebiotic Facial Care Set!
No more acne skin and imbalance skin tone. <3 p="">
As COVID-19
impacts every aspect of our work and life, it takes only 2 months to clearly agreed the importance of being digitalised at almost everything. But first, did we transformed ourselves in this 2 months with all the time that we have?
We may not feel "the urge" to be productive during the First Phase of Restricted Movement Order (RMO) and not taking it seriously by learning to adapt to the new norms that potentially approaching right after/ during that period of time in March. Some may take their sweet time treating MCO as staying at home resting, without any plans either and complains on their boredom. Where else, many of us received the cash assistance from our Government, exception to us who are self-employed and married wife -_-. (Not a good sign for me tho.)
Reaching Phase 4 today,
DO YOU REALISED THAT BUSINESS ARE CLOSING DOWN? RETRENCHMENT OF EMPLOYEES AND LIST GO ON?
I am quite worried with the economy today and the ability to survive for the next six months either self / home / local / national / international.
Okay, back to what's the priority of this post - THE TOP 5 NEW NORMS.
1. Restaurants and Food Delivery
I bet many of us who never used our local available food delivery services and all at a sudden, now ordering Bubble Tea via Food Panda / More Fun and even Grab. The convenience is there.
Phase 1 of RMO, all of us are compulsory to stay at home and with exception, almost no car on the road. During Phase 3 of RMO, increasing numbers of restaurants re-opened their business, those with budget designed packages and campaigns to offer to the public. One of it shall be the Facebook Live session where I collaborate with 5th Avenue Bistro (E-West), Damai.
Non the less, an increasing number of home based food operators that try to earn a living with the assistance of social medias platform as well. Offering delivery services, home made food, fresh meats and vegetables.
With a smartphone in hand, we can generate income. With a smartphone in hand, we purchase online.
I have bee running KKBuy & Co for quite sometimes, currently with budget beauty products that comparable with expensive brands and snacks!
2. Flexible Working
With first phase of RMO, depends on the scope of working and terms, business owners has been instructed not to run their business operation at office. Left no choice, but to instruct employees to work from home, especially management office.
Time still ticking, majority businesses can starts operating, but with the terms and condition as guided with the SOP of government.
How flexible it would be? By working normal at 5 days a week, some may required to work two or three days a week.
As for myself, working online and as an Real Estate Negotiator (Follow Me at Facebook - Adele MT Property), we can work any where, while our Company (IQI Realty Sdn. Bhd.) with the advance online system, I do not need to present myself at the office, we could get in touch and work via our online system.
While Flexible Working might be fun, we need to be very discipline to occupied our working time staying at home.
In Reality, it says "flexible", but identically we are not flexible. You know what I meant, longer working hours 😆
3. Masks and Social Distancing
Remember to wear our masks and practice social distancing!
Flatten the Curve.
With more than 21 days adapting and familiarising to the new norms of covering our nose and mouth and practising social distancing, glad to say Sabah did well to keep the positive Covid as low as possible. Well done to Us! And of course, keep it up! We can have all the fun again once this pandemic is over!
I can assure you that the Corona Virus Tester is not fun at all. Picking our nose deeply when we were found potentially having positive Covid 19.
Life still goes on, we need to work to sustain right?
4. Webinar and Online Meeting
It has been a norms to learn online, from children till older generation. And this is not an abnormal scene at other countries. A creation of another business module arisen, with one speaker could speak to more than thousand people at one time.
I even subscribed a few online courses to equip with knowledge and more.
One thing that we never thought of, we could even purchase a property online. Absolutely can! I'm happy to close a few units with online private preview!
In fact, a good point to own a property today with low interest rate as compared. When others fear of no income, they avoid purchasing assets, but did you realised that your full installment only starts after a few years when your property is completed. ;)
5. Repositioning of Business
O2O ("Online to Offline" and "Offline to Online")
It takes Covid-19 to know about the sustainability of a business. We foresee that in 3 months time, many businesses are closing down (we can see it even now). But wait a minute! For those who able to survive during this period, increasing income definitely will be theirs. In fact, an open mind of business owners will try to do whatever they could to move on within this period of time.
Tourism in Sabah was badly affected, the food industry as well, and most likely where business that require to meet people in person (eg. Retail). Perhaps all of these industries need to correct method and platform to be recovered.
I have been making my purchase online and sales via online too. Who are those busying closing deals and running their business? Here's the tips - those who have been BRANDING themselves and utilising ONLINE network.
Now, learning how to brand ourselves and to challenge ourselves by not staying at comfortable zone.
Blooming cafes and restaurants here in Kota Kinabalu. But how many stays and remain their quality? Here's a list of evergreen restaurants and new trending (delicious) spots to check out.
