Reports of Genting


Its was my, er well all of us, first time to Genting Highlands. It seems odd but Genting Highlands must be the oft visit site by Singaporeans. Everybody I asked has been to Genting, at least once, while some has been there so many times, that they provide interesting tips while you are there.

Anyway, this is our first time and there were 8 of us.

Transport there: We went there by bus and we booked our return trip plus the hotel room from Grassland. Here is a tip: go to the Golden Mile Shopping Complex and book your trips there. You'd have more choices, in terms of hotel rooms and also the type of buses. I'm not saying Grassland's buses and services wasn't good, but it's better to have choices.
Anyway, we paid $148 per person except the kids who paid only $83. $148 or $296 will give you two return bus tickets to and from Singapore and a hotel room with a hotel room with two twin beds.

Accomodation: Just so happened that our hotel is called the First World Hotel and it is one of the newest hotel. We stayed at level three with our three rooms next to each other. Me, Su and Adam had one room, while Wan, Irsyad and Yan slept in another while Risa and Tini slept in another. The hotel is the colourful building in the background in the picture at the top.

Food: Food is so expensive! There are the usual fast food restaurants, and some specialise restaurants plus a food court. Personally, I did not go to the food court but a packet of chicken rice there cost about Rm$10.00. Phew! What about eight McDonalds hash browns + 2 coffees? It cost me some RM$32! Wow. Here is a picture when we bought our last lunch during our last day. Hmm, if I remember correctly it was a chicken foldover meal, three cokes, three kids meal , a mc chicken and a fillet.

But believe it or not, I enjoyed my self. The ambient temperature was around 19 degress Celcius. Which I thought was quite cool! But it sure was very cold at night.

O.k will include the highlights in my next post.
