Genting + KL with Family

A short holiday with Daddy, Mummy, Ah Gong and Aunt Alice over in Genting from Thursday - Saturday.

Went by Korsotium coach for approximately 5-6 hours ride starting 7.30am.
Waited to check into First World Hotel for 1.5 hours.

Ah Gong and Mummy


ME and Aunt Alice


My first meal in Genting Highlands - Fried Kway Teow at the bus terminal


Sharing room with Mummy and Daddy - no choice cos we went as an odd-number group.


The scenic view from the room at Tower 2, level 2.


Took the free shuttle van to Mushroom Farm for our early dinner


Seafood Hor Fun


Fried vegetables - so fresh looking!


Mixed Mushrooms with Scallops


Chef's Recommendation - Signature Fried African Fish
I love the yellow floss - no idea what they are exactly made of.


While waiting for the van to send us back to First World Hotel, we decided to cam-whore. Haha!


Many statues were at the Mushroom Farm and we took many picos such as the below:




Friday Morning air was great.


I bravely brought mummy, ah gong and aunt alice to Kuala Lumpur on my own.
LOL, just because I had been to KL a couple of times, I thought I would be a good tour guide.

An hour bus-ride down to KL and a few LRT stops away top Royal Bintang.


Our first lunch stop - Lot10 @ Royal Bintang
The air-conditioned food court was opened early 2010 and served all the various famous Malaysia and Singapore delights.
The food place resembles a lot like Food Republic in Singapore.

I would not recommend this place as the food aren't authentic and tasty, yet expensive.


Char Siew + Duck + Roasted Pork noodles


Hokkien Mee


Popiah


Under my recommendations, we proceeded to take the public transporations to the various places I've planned previously.

A public toilet I chanced upon - looks pretty high class!


At KL LRT station - Kelana Jaya line


We headed to KLCC which is where we can take pico of the Petronas Towers.
Yes, we did a lot of walking just to get there as we changed trains a couple of times.


There you go, pico taken, no need to go KL again cos there's simply too much walking to be done. (unless you are including CAB/taxi as public transportations)


I'm still attracted to the same ceiling at KLCC.
Star? Bomb? Flower? You decide.


Tea Break was at Madam Kwan's, the famous Nasi Lemak Restaurant.

Nasi Lemak RM15.30 to share


Appetizer - Otah Otah RM18+


Ice Campur RM6.90


Overall verdict: Standard of food served has dropped.

Proceeded to KL Chinatown, had the famous Longan drinks and faced with a sudden heavy downpour within 10 minutes. Spoiler!

And thank goodness we were able to change our bus tickets from 6pm to 5pm, heading to Genting Highlands from KL Sentral.

Awaited 45 minutes for the 5pm bus to come...
Mummy was proud of the cheap and good fruits she had gotten from Chinatown.


Back to Genting Highlands at about 7 plus...


Found Daddy and we all headed down to Mushroom Farm for late dinner



Went for a walk, continued our games in Casino, went back to Hotel to rest early...

Mummy and the Merry-Go-Round


I made Ah Gong to take a rest on the bench with a main motive - to take a pico!



Trip ended well on Saturday with me contributing money to the Malaysia economy (what's new?).
