It's a gem hidden is a small town Sandakan, Sabah, Borneo. You can't tell there's this awesome ROOFtop bar at the highest floor of Nak Hotel. This hotel is situated at the heart of Sandakan City and it's one of the oldest buildings. Once you came out at the highest floor the lift would bring u, u may need to climb a lil staircases on ur right to reach the breathtaking rooftop bar. I'm not exaggerated and FYI, this is not a sponsored post thou. You need to come and witness this urself.
Look at the ambience. It's so comfy and relaxing.
Spectacular seaview. Tips: awesomely good place to enjoy sunset :)
Calm city view at night.
Balin Rooftop Bar at night. Tips: You can just lie down on the timber panels and gaze at the sparkling stars in the open sky while having a sip of your favourite drink. Ahh... life.... (this is what i did)
Aren't you curious why they name after this place as 'Balin'? Lemme share some of their history with you.. It started with a random check of the rooftop on what causes the leakage to the building. And so in 2008, with some planning and detailing, Balin was finally borned - with some seat, growing number of plants and trees and serving foods n drinks. The background of the name is literally translated from chinese, it means "Eight Forest" as this lil forest is situated on eight floor. How wonderful this lil secret garden turned into a retreat for friends and families.
Look at their
newspaper menu. I love how they put every details in such a lovely way. I've tried most of their foods and i would recommend their insanely-crunchy-thin-crust-pizza, hot-wings and the Big brunch!
Chips n meatballs.
Cuppas + panoramic view
Desserts
Sweet-tooths

They hv a games box too: assorted board games, playing card and this hilarious truth-or-dare set.
Good place, good music, good foods, friends and laughters. What a combination :)
Rainy days? They hv indoor area with air-cond too.
