Genting TripDear friends,
Those of you whom have missed me these past week (which I take it upon all of you have)...
Yes! I went on a short trip to Genting.
It's my first time there.
I have always know Genting as a up high mountain and can only see fog.
Well, it's more then meets the eye.
The journey takes about 7 hours... of course in between there are 3 stops during the bus ride.
Out of the few hotels there, I stayed at the colourful one - First World Hotel.
I had a great, nice and enjoyable time there.
The weather is great.
Besides taking the rides at the theme park, I added a bit of spare tyre to my waist.
The food is tasty especially the 'Ah Yi Bao Yu Dim Sum' and 'Tze Cha from the Mushroom Farm'.
Malaysia's own version of KFC - 'Marrybrown' is not bad.
But their service level really needs alot of improvement.
Believe me, with my level of endurance and patience - when I get pissed off by their service standards; I rrreeeaaalllyyy got PISSED OFF!
At one point, I got up to serve myself rather than wait for them to serve me!
Anyway, overall... it's fun.
I took a ride on my all time favourite - Carousel.
And the Boating which 2 people have to pedal to manoevoure the 'boat'.
Also the Antique Car, I would love to own a car like that.
People who know me well should know that I'm afraid of heights.
I took on a 360 degrees of Dumbo and Aeroplane.
That's quite a big step for me... the 'Dare' challenge.
Oh! I need to mention 'The Mushroom Farm' - which is just 10 miuntes walk from the hotel.
Just a note: it's up and down the hill.
A good exercise after a heavy meal.
The food served in that restaurant is typical cantonese style.
From the start of taking order for which they have NO menu at all to the serving of tea cups and utensils on a small bowl filled with hot water to kill the bacteria.
One of the dishes I've ordered is the Steamed Cod Fish, that is so fantastic, delicious and tasty.
It's a very satisfying meal = very bulging tummy.
Ok friends, take a trip there if you have a chance.
It's a great getaway especially with the big hot sun at this time of the year.
