After years of waiting the KK Times Square Shoplots which is situated next to the Sutera Harbour Golf course along the Coastal Highway has finally been completed. Like most part of Kota Kinabalu City, it is built on a reclaimed land. Decades ago this area used to be a swallow sea bed, and it was not unusual to see fishermen walking along the beach during low tide catching crabs and clams. Presently, the KK Times Square Shoplots has a unique feature that all the shops are walled with tall big glasses. Giving all these shops a lot of exposure expescially at night, when the lights from the interior are shining brightly. In one of the corners of KK Time Square Complex there lies BBQ House, a true Korean Restaurant. BBQ House is run by a Korean owner, and is one of the first shop to open its door for business at Times Square.
