Genting Highlands Experience

Hi Buns,

I am Back. So soon right? Yup. Another month has passed again. Now is October. So now the trip experience in details.

Warning: It will be long so be prepared as it is very detailed.

Ready? Here we go ....

1st Day, Monday, 27/09/10:

I woke up at around 5 am, prepared and left the house at around 6 am. Then together with Cookie Ice Cream and my parents, we set off to Beach Road.

We reached there around 6.20 Am then we settled the documents and sat on the bus. Oh. I cannot wait to reach Genting.

Then we reached Genting at around 1.15 Pm. We went for lunch at MerryBrown. I ate Tower Burger Combo Meal. Then we went to check into the hotel. We started waiting at around 2 pm after lunch then finally our turn was around 3 plus pm.

So we checked into the hotel, we settled and off we go. I think we went around some shops 1st as Cookie Ice Cream wanted to see some accessories. Then we went to the Casino.

For your info, there are 2 Main Casinos in Genting Highlands. 1 is called Starworld, the other is just Monte Carlo at Genting hotel area.

So we started off by changing Rm 50 worth of chips. The 1 game we played is called the Money Wheel. I lost around Rm 150 at there then left the casino for Dinner.

We ate at Kenny Rogers for dinner. Oh. The food is all cold and not nice. What a waste of money.

Then we went back to the casino. This time we played Big/Small. At 1st we won a bit then lost it all again. I thing i lost around another Rm 50 again. We went back at night after resting in the hotel room. After losing the money, we only observed and guess based on previous patterns.

We even bought a sandwich for only Rm 3. Oh. By the way, the food at Genting is expensive. So the food inside the casino is cheaper than outside. And it is quite nice too. There are free drinks inside the casino.

They provide Nestle Coffee, Teh Tarik, Milo, Orange Cordial and Plain Water. The Monte Casino even has Rose Cordial and Hot Chocolate and even a live band inside.

We left at around 1 plus 2am when we were tired. There were many older folks still gambling away into the night.

2nd Day, Tuesday, 28/09/10:

We woke up at around 10 plus am. As Cookie Ice Cream took around 1 hour to prepare, we set off around 12 noon. As we were hungry, we went to eat KFC Colonel Chicken Rice Combo priced at Rm 12.50 or Rm13.15 after including tax.

This is the day that we played the Theme Park at Genting which is priced at Rm 51 for both Indoor and Outdoor rides.

We spent the whole day playing the outdoor rides till around 7 Pm when they closed. We sat on Flying Dragon (Roller Coaster), some kiddy rides, some boat rides, Antique Car, Go Kart, etc.

It is my 1st time taking roller coaster so i am scared. I was not alone. Cookie Ice Cream also scared too. After taking for a few times, i got over the fear and soon found the ride to be a breezy one and not exciting. Yay.

At around 7pm, as we got hungry, we went to dine at Pizza Hut. We ate a Chicken Meatball Crust and Super Hawaiian Topping Pizza Combo Meal. It consists of Soup of the Day, 2 glasses of drink and 1 regular pizza and 5 garlic sticks. It is nice and quite unique.

Then we went back to the indoor theme park rides. We sat on another roller coaster that is situated inside. It is called Euro Express. It was scary at 1st as usual. But then we found it fun so we played quite a few more times. We also went to Ferris wheel, Bumper Cars, the 4D Theater, etc. We played till around 10 Pm when the rides closed. Then it is back to the casino again.

This time we played another game called Mini Dice. After losing around Rm 50 on it we went to another game. Losing some more, we decided to stop playing and went back to Starworld (The Other Casino) and ate a Curry Flavour Cup Noodles there. it cost Rm 2.10. In case you are wondering what is the cup noodles pricing there like, the cheapest is around Rm 3.50.

Since we have no mood to gamble and nothing to do, we left the casino around 1 plus 2 am again.

3rd Day, Wednesday, 29/09/10:

We decided to make this our shopping day. So as usual we woke up around 10 plus am again. And as usual we left around 12 noon for lunch. This time we went to Hot Pot to eat Steamboat Buffet.

Whah. The food is quite nice but costs quite a lot. It is around Rm 31.50. It consists of standard steamboat items plus only 1 type of free drink. Following that, we went to shop around and buy things. We were buying things from the 1st shop, move on to the next shop and buy again, and so on.

Then we went to a shop called B.U.M i think. In there i bought 2 pieces of T-Shirt for Rm 53.90 and 2 Pants for Rm 99.90 on 2 separate occasions. I went to that shop 2 times in a day.

I went for a Fish Spa Come Shoulder Massage at Rm 35 while Cookie Ice Cream went for a Back Massage for 20 Minutes at Rm 38

For dinner we ate at Old Town White Coffee Shop. I ate Nasi Lemak. Hmm. It is nice but the chili is very spicy. Then i bought 3 boxes of Coffee. They are Hazelnut Coffee, 3 in 1 Coffee with Cane Sugar and Milk Tea. All of them are bought at Rm 11 each.

Then we continued on our shopping, went back to hotel to rest and later on back to the casino for a while. But i did not gamble anymore. I was running low on cash money already so i had my limitations. So Sad for me right?

We went back to the hotel earlier this time so that we could wake up early the next day for Breakfast and to make it for the check-out time of 12 noon exactly. Any delay results in more money being spent. Rm 75 nett to be exact.

4th Day, Thursday, 30/09/10:

We woke up early this time. I woke up around 8 am. We moved out around 9 am for Breakfast. We went to eat at Resort Hotel Rm 10 Set Meal which consists of 2 sausages, 2 hushbrowns, 2 eggs and some vegetables. It is nice buti did not really like the hushbrowns though. What can i say. It is only Rm 10 nett so nothing to complain about.

If not for the lack of cah money in my wallet, since i gambled around Rm 300 away, i did not have much left to spare, so i cannot buy much things and eat good food because it is expensive.

Then we went for lucnh at KFC again. We both ate the Chicken Rice Combo again. Then we walked somemore around the area and went to the tour bus terminal. The bus left at 2 .20 Pm slightly ahead of schedule.

The 1 stop is at a shop in KL. The things there are not cheap so i only bought 1 bottle of water at Rm 2 and left the shop. We reached there around 3 plus pm. The next stop is 3 hours away.

The next stop is at Yong Peng which was around 7 pm already. We ate our dinner there. We ate Uncle Tan Yong Tau Foo. Again, the food is not cheap but is definitey cheaper than in Genting. We both spent Rm 6 each on the food.

The next stop is at a petrol station just outside the 2nd link custom area. Most people alighted from the bus so i joined them. After going to the toilet, i went to the shop and bought 2 loaves of bread. Since i am there so why not right? It is nice bread. 1 is Gardenia Butterscotch Rm 4 , the other is Gardenia Milk Bread Rm 3.20.

Ever since my parents bought the bread from Malaysia, we found Singapore bread to be not so tasteful. So i started to eat the bread from Malaysia. Since my parents travel often to JB, getting the bread is not an issue.

So we reached back Golden Mile Complex at around 9.15 Pm marking the End of My Genting Experience.

My parents came to pick me and Cookie ICe Cream up and sent us home as they did the same sending us there. Thanks.

And i really like the Rm 5 2 scoops of Ice Cream on a Cone at the Nestle Shop.

Yours Sincerely,
Doraemon
