Genting, Kuala Lumpur 五天四夜游 (22nd Dec to 26th Dec) - 4

What can you do in Genting?

1. 避暑。Genting is around less than 20 degree Celsius. It is more than 1800 m above sea level. So it is good to experience the coldness if you feel hot in the city.

2. Casino. Yes. Many people come here specially to gamble! It has more than 5 casinos and opening 24 hours per day. So you can gamble till drop.

3. Shopping. There are some nice shops around though not the best and as good as KL. Simple shopping are available but I feel the price is high.

4. Theme parks. There are a lot of rides to be experience. Mainly for kids.

5. Food. Many good food there. Fast food, restaurant food, food court food, snack foods, cafe food... Quite a good choice.

6. Entertainment. If you look through the calendar, you might be lucky and some of your favorites artistes or groups might be there performing. I end up watching a performance called Freeze. A ice skating performance with magic...

Genting, Kuala Lumpur 五天四夜游 (22nd Dec to 26th Dec) - 3

As I only in Genting for a day, I wanted to stay at First World Hotel. But a visit to Tripadvisor, first 10 latest reviews 都给与超烂评价。So I decided to stay at Maxims Genting which has a rather good review. Is it good? Lets see.

Room:
The hotel seems recently done an overhaul cos it seems pretty new to me in the interior. I stayed at their Premier Room and was quite happy with the room size. The room view I got is looking at a low building roof. But the sky clears up, you get to see the the Pagoda of nearby temple and KL tower and Petronas twin towers (need to zoom using camera etc..). The bed is from Simmons and it very comfortable. The pillows are very good too. You get complementary bottle waters, newspaper and fruits. However, there is no free wifi in the room.

Bathroom:
The bathroom is of a very good size. The bathtub is on right hand side and the toilet bowl and bathing cubicle is on the left hand side. It has a nice rain forest shower and two basins for you and your partner. The bathroom amenities are packed nicely in a pouch. The bathing amenities are from Aigner. The towels are of good size.

Services:
The service need to brush up. When I arrive at the entrance lobby, nobody seems to care to help with my baggage. The staffs at the counter speaks pretty good English and friendly. The check in is pretty easy. I was asked to take a seat the couch and was given a hot welcome Chinese tea which is a nice touch due to the cold weather. Check out is equally quick at the same place. Many staffs at the door are more interested in chatting among themselves. The staffs over the breakfast area are also stingy on the smiles. They also lack of knowledge when ask where to take bus to KL.

Overall, I feel the hotel is quite good just that staffs might need to be trained more. Location is pretty ok as whole Genting resort is linked up. So walking to anywhere is easy. Just that you need to walk a bit longer to main shopping area, fast food and theme park.

Genting, Kuala Lumpur 五天四夜游 (22nd Dec to 26th Dec) - 2

The first day I went to Genting first. It is about N years ago since I went to Genting. So this is why I decided to go to Genting on the first day of my 大马游。I stayed at Maxims Genting Hotel.

So how do you go there?

1. Took a plane to KLCC.
2. Took a Airport Express (RM35) to KL Sentral.
3. Take a Genting bus (~RM10) to Genting.

But I did not do item 3 as I was there at 10am and the next bus is 12.30pm! So instead of 3, I

4. Take a Genting taxi (~RM25 per pax, min 4 ppl to go) to hotel.

There is a Genting taxi company just beside the Genting bus counter. It need 4 ppl before the taxi will go. If you only have 2 ppl, you have to wait for other ppl to take with you. If not, you need to wait for 45 mins and then if still no ppl, you just need to pay RM25 per pax and the taxi will still go. The best thing about Genting taxi is that it can just alight at whatever place in Genting. The journey took about 1 hour.

So how is Maxims Genting Hotel? 下回分晓

Recently I just back from 一年一度的北上大马游。 When I told my friends I am going to KL for 5 days.

They are L君 and 猫小姐。 小马 and 丽沙。 龙秀 and 凤舞。

So where did they bring me this time? 下回分晓。

四川豆花 make my wobby...

Last week went to 四川豆花 at UOB for dinner. Dunno what did I eat, after that I feel a bit not well. Stomach like bloated. Then guess what? Next day, I vomited 4 times!!! Woah!!!! Any way, the ambience is not as good as China Club. It is pretty crowded and noisy. Populated with a lot of Japanese! Surprisingly..
