A Scenic Brew Escape: Fatt Choi Coffee Cabin, Tenom

-


In Tenom, mornings arrive softly. The mist lingers over coffee hills, the air cools the senses, and the road from Kota Kinabalu feels less like a drive and more like a gentle reset. This is where Fatt Choi Coffee Cabin makes its mark. Recently established and already drawing quiet buzz, it is Tenom’s newest reason to slow down and sip deliberately.


The journey matters here. As the city fades behind you, the landscape opens into rolling greenery and mountain silhouettes. By the time you arrive, the reward is immediate: panoramic hill views, the unmistakable aroma of freshly roasted Tenom coffee, and a café experience that feels rooted in place rather than trend.
Coffee First, Always


At Fatt Choi Coffee Cabin, great coffee comes naturally. Brewed from Tenom’s own celebrated beans, each cup carries depth, warmth, and a sense of origin. This is coffee enjoyed without rush, best paired with fresh mountain air and an unhurried afternoon.
Stay Where the Coffee Grows


What elevates the experience is the stay. Cozy cabin houses sit among lush coffee trees, offering guests a rare luxury: waking up to the scent of roasting beans drifting from the nearby coffee factory. Mornings here are unfiltered and deeply comforting, where nature and craft meet before breakfast.


New Opening: Fatt Choi x Lemon Tree

Adding a fresh layer to the destination is Fatt Choi Coffee x Lemon Tree Kitchen & Bakery, now officially open. Designed for lingering, it invites guests to come for the coffee and stay for the vibes. From daytime café moments to relaxed evening dining, it extends the Fatt Choi experience into a full-day affair, effortlessly blending Tenom’s calm rhythm with warm, welcoming hospitality.

Tajau and Tradition: The Living Legacy of Siopon in a Murut Engagement

-
Image
It was a very fulfilling and insightful trip to Keningau recently, where the Angin family from Kg. Biah, Sook celebrated an important engagement ceremony. A family member was engaged to someone from outside the Murut community. Shonney Doney, who is of Murut and Dusun heritage, became engaged to a Sino-Kadazan young man from outside the Keningau district. What was truly special is that the Angin family prepared a cultural presentation featuring Siopon, a traditional homemade rice drink kept in jars. The beverage has been passed down for generations and is still practiced today. According to Liza Angin, Shonney’s aunt, the family has been making Siopon for many years, starting with their mother, Villine Lius, who is now 74 years old. Due to health reasons, she can no longer prepare it, so Liza and her siblings made the effort to learn and continue the family tradition. The Angin family According to Liza, long ago the drink was treated like coffee. Whenever visitors came to Murut hom...

Donggongon: The Heartbeat of Penampang’s Culture, Food and Tamu Tradition by Lorena Binisol

-
Image
Every Wednesday and Thursday, something special happens in Donggongon , the vibrant township at the heart of Penampang . The streets come alive as villagers, vendors and townsfolk gather for the beloved Tamu , a weekly market that has long been part of the community’s rhythm. For generations, the Tamu has been more than just a marketplace. It is a meeting ground where stories are exchanged, traditions are preserved, and the spirit of the community continues to thrive. At the moment, vendors are temporarily operating in the open space between shop lots while the new permanent Tamu building is under construction. The upcoming structure promises a more modern look, but many locals still remember the rustic charm of the old Tamu, where simple stalls created a warm and authentic village atmosphere. Despite the temporary setting, the market remains lively. Visitors can still find baskets filled with fresh vegetables, tropical fruits and produce brought in from nearby villages. Among the u...

100 Wanita Inspirasi Nasional 2026: Where Recognition Meets Legacy, and Influence Becomes Architecture

-
Image
In a setting defined by prestige and purpose, the ballroom of Hotel Seri Pacific Kuala Lumpur transformed into a stage of national significance, hosting the 100 Wanita Inspirasi Nasional 2026 —an evening where recognition transcended ceremony and entered the realm of legacy. Among the distinguished honourees, Adj. Prof. Jessie Jong Chung Jin stood as a compelling embodiment of modern influence—her work spanning enterprise, investment, and research-driven engagement, woven seamlessly into Malaysia’s evolving socio-economic narrative. This prestigious initiative, led by IKSnita (Persatuan Industri Kecil dan Sederhana Wanita Sabah) under the stewardship of its President, Datuk Dayang Khatijah Datu Haji Bachtiyal , reflects more than recognition—it is a deliberate orchestration of visibility, influence, and national positioning. The presence of Puteri Shahanaz Hazlin binti Hamdan lent a refined gravitas to the occasion, elevating the evening into a moment of institutional and cultura...

Strengthening Connections at the ACCA Sabah Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner 2026

-
Image
The ACCA Sabah Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner held at ITCC Seafood Restaurant brought together members for an evening defined by introductions, renewed connections, and professional camaraderie. The programme centred largely on new members stepping forward to introduce themselves and share their current roles, while several long-standing members also took the opportunity to reconnect and re-establish professional ties in a relaxed setting. From my perspective within the professional and academic landscape, the evening reflected something deeper than a festive gathering; it demonstrated the importance of sustaining a strong professional ecosystem. Each introduction, whether from a new entrant or an experienced practitioner, highlighted how the accountancy field continues to evolve while remaining anchored in shared standards and collective responsibility. A healthy ecosystem is not built overnight; it grows through mentorship, collaboration, and the willingness of members to contribute...
