Raya recap, straight from the lens 📸🌙

A week of Polaroids filled with real moments, big laughters, groups of tables, and the kind of memories you wish you could pause a little longer.

February 2026 — what a beautiful chapter it was. ✨

From romantic nights during Valentine's Day ❤️ to the festive joy of Chinese New Year 🧧, Ba Lin Rooftop was blessed to witness so many stories unfold above the heart of Sandakan.

To everyone who came by — for the food, the drinks, the music, or simply the company — thank you for making February one for the books.

Here’s to more sunsets, more laughter, and more memories waiting to be made at Ba Lin Rooftop. 🌇🍹

Bazaar Ramadan used to be just a step outside of Nak Hotel — and somehow, that little distance carried the biggest warmth 🤍🌙

Since 2024, one of the most meaningful changes to soul is seeing this once-lively street turn quiet. There was a time when it glowed every ✨ — laughter echoing, smoke rising from sizzling grills 🍢, friendly lines of familiar faces, and vendors cooking with heart ❤️‍🔥. It wasn’t just a bazaar… it was a feeling, a tradition, a piece of home we shared together.

Though it has moved to a new home, the memories still linger softly here 🕊️. And for those in perantauan feeling homesick, this view remains a gentle reminder of home 🏡💫

We kinda miss that 🥹

🎉

Weekends are made for retreating, recharging, and slowing life down a little ✨, with us 😉!

Come up to the rooftop where good company, comforting plates, curated tunes, and a drink in hand turn simple nights into core . Because sometimes the best therapy is laughter with friends and family under the evening sky.

Right here in the soul of Town, we’ll always be waiting — whether you’re winding down after work, fresh from river cruises, conquering mountains, or about to begin a brand new chapter.

Old town heart. New memories loading. See you where nostalgia meets now. 🌙🥂
