Ahh... Finally, I have time to blog about my Genting trip. =)
Took Silkair to KL before taking a cab to Genting.
They served only drinks on the flight. It was a mad rush. They served the drinks and before you know it, it was time to collect the cups.
Look at the state of my bag! This is the result of last minute packing. I didn't realise that my bag, which had been hidden in the cupboard for ages, had started peeling. It was too late to buy a new bag. So embarrassing! Countless people had stared at my bag! =( (I bought a new Converse bag in Genting.)
Still feeling hungry after dinner at Hao Wei. So we popped into Mary Brown before hitting the casino. =P
Anyway, here's a list of good places to dine in Genting. I really could not stand the standard of the food there.
Places I have visited (excluding fastfood):
1) Kenny Rogers
2) PizzaHut
3) Coffee Terrace
4) Torcello
5) First World Cafe
6) Only Mee Restaurant
7) Xiao Long Bao Restaurant
8) Genting Palace
9) Hao Wei
10) Various Foodcourts
Places that I recommend:
1) PizzaHut
2) Hao Wei
3) Torcello
4) First World Cafe
5) Convenience Stores for Cup Noodles
And so, this time round, my dad did some research for places to eat before the trip. His friend recommended the Mushroom Farm restaurant. It is not situated within the theme park. We had to call them to come and bring us to the place. The service was good and the food was so much better and cheaper than the ones in Genting. They are opened from 7am - 10pm.
The fish in the picture tasted like cereal prawn. Very special.
During the trip with my Enemies to Genting in 2005, we met Elvin Ng, the Mediacorp actor, in Coffee Bean. I really regretted missing the chance to take a picture with him. =( And so, whenever I visit Genting, I would always go to Coffee Bean, hoping that I will bump into him again. Keke! And I really met him this time round!!
On television. We even had coffee together. Haha!
On the last day, we set off to Sunway Lagoon to meet up with my cousins and nephews. Sunway Lagoon is a really nice place!! Many things to play, eat and buy. The shopping centre really wowed me away. There are soooooooo many shops and restaurants! I think that the shopping centre is as big as Vivo. Cool right?
In the hotel room, waiting for my twin nephews to wake up.

Ice-skating rink on the basement of the shopping centre.
I think I mentioned before in one of my previous posts that my Dad knows how to act cute. Here's another proof. Haha!
Early dinner at a Hakka restaurant before leaving for the airport.
The restaurant has a few Hakka dishes which I have never heard nor seen before. The topmost picture is Chee Cheong Fun with Chai Poh (the pickled veg that goes with Chee Kueh), the green glop is still a mystery to me but it tasted better than it looked and the picture on the right is bittergourd stuffed with pig's stomach and mushroom.

Finally, flight back to Singapore.
I love family trips. =)
