Today we will be driving up to Genting Highland from KL. Those not planning to stay in KL, may drive directly up Genting from Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It would take about 5-6 hours non-stop. Do take regular rest along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before heading up, we planned to have lunch at this Japanese restaurant. It’s a charcoal BBQ Yakiniku Buffet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Free-flow side dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

More sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is what it looks like inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To order, you fill up an order slip and they will bring the meat over. They provide Beef, Lamp, Pork, Chicken, and seafood. The selections is quite a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After lunch, we drove towards Genting Highland<\/a>. There are clear road signs along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The traffic up Genting does get congested at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As you go higher, they may be times that the road becomes misty. Do turn on your headlights and drive carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yeah…..we arrived at our hotel – SCAPES<\/a>, which is midway up Genting. There are a lot of new hotels being built around here. You will never run out of rooms in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our bed for the next 2 nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It came with TV, mini-bar, bottled water, coffee etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sorry, no Bath Tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After we settled our lugguages, we continued and drove up to Genting Highland. Arriving at Hotel First World<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As it was the holiday session, both the Indoor Theme Park<\/a> Sky Tropolis and Outdoor Theme Park<\/a> Sky World were crowded with many peoples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We also went to the Outdoor Theme Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Beside Theme Parks, you will find many shops and restaurants<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We decide to go to Dragon-i for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We ordered Wanton Noodle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Braised Amaranth with 3 different eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pork Chop Fried Rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stewed sliced fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Braised Pork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was another day where we eat eat eat and shop shop shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dinner, we went back to the hotel to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
