A Special Afternoon Hi-Tea Invitation by Jesselton International - Beyond Airbnb: Smarter Property Investment in Kota Kinabalu

-

 

An atmosphere of quiet confidence and cultivated dialogue enveloped the Jesselton Sales Gallery as more than 200 registered guests gathered for an exclusive afternoon seminar on smarter property investment in Kota Kinabalu 

The full-house event welcomed a distinguished audience of discerning investors, industry leaders, and representatives from the mainstream media—an unmistakable reflection of the city’s growing stature as a strategic and forward-looking property destination.


FAVSTYLE’s Editor-in-Chief was honoured to be part of this invitation-only affair, where conversations rose above market chatter and ventured into the realm of refined investment intelligence. The discourse was thoughtful, measured, and anchored in long-term vision rather than short-term speculation.


Bringing together two respected Malaysian voices in real estate and finance, the session featured Sean iHerng, widely recognised as RealEstateGuy, alongside Peter of Mr Money TV. Together, they unpacked the realities of true return on investment, addressed concerns surrounding market oversupply, and explored smarter property strategies designed to protect returns beyond Airbnb-driven thinking.

Love in Every Cup of Coffee - Where Every Cup Tells the Story of Sabah

-
Image
In 2020, as the global pandemic swept across the world, uncertainty clouded the future. Flights were grounded, businesses stalled, and many plans were put on hold. Yet for some, this period became a turning point. In Sabah’s rural landscape, a quiet but determined coffee dream was taking root. Located in the interior of Sabah, Nature Coffee Farm began as a humble experiment driven by passion, persistence, and belief in the land. What started with curiosity soon evolved into a long-term commitment: to cultivate coffee that truly reflects Sabah’s soil, climate, and spirit. Coffee That Grows With the Land Coffee trees require patience. From planting to harvesting, the process takes years before results are visible.

Lihing Experience with Grub N Vine Where Taste Meets Tradition, and Learning Becomes Sensory By Mr Alfred Allen Ginsos, Editor-in-Chief, FAVSTYLE

-
Image
In Sabah, tradition is never static. It ferments, matures, and evolves. Few cultural expressions embody this living process as eloquently as Lihing. More than a rice wine, Lihing is a cultural language, articulated through patience, ritual, and refinement. This philosophy came vividly to life at the Lihing Experience hosted by Grub N Vine , where guests were invited not merely to taste, but to understand. From Heritage to the Glass Rooted in the same ancestral brewing lineage as Tapai, Lihing represents a more composed and refined expression of fermentation. Crafted primarily from glutinous rice and fermented over an extended period of two months or more, Lihing undergoes a deliberate separation process, removing rice and yeast sediments. What remains is a translucent amber liquid, elegant in clarity and deepening in tone as it matures. This distinction is not cosmetic. It is philosophical. Where Tapai remains intimate and rustic, traditionally stored in jars for household enjoymen...
