Genting Feb 2009

Went up to Genting with my friend over the weekend.

It was my first time driving to Genting. And little did i know that the slopes were that steep!!! Well, its my friend XX times to Genting liao, so he is the "Lao Jiao" to the place. (Although he still "hollanded" when we get down... No thanks to my with the outdated map)

Anyway, i feel its a great trip on the whole. Even though i lost Bloody RM 800 to the casino, but i feel its the company that make a lot of difference!

After two nights stay in Genting, we left for Malacca for a night stay before turning back. The hotel at Malacca, called ALDY hotel, was in a very good location. Even though the its not a 5-star hotel, the rooms are relatively big and comfy. There are other big hotels around but its further away to the night market, Jonker Street.

After reaching there we managed to grab lunch at one of the famous chicken rice ball stall. Supposely, if u are late, they will be closed. lol. Apparently we are lucky. Damn... I rather lucky at Genting sia!

After tat we went to a nearby Shopping Mall for a walk before ending at Carrefour for some snacks and tidbits. Further in the night we experienced a more rowdy Jonker street where the old folks will gather and sing Karaoke?!? lol There were some very nice singers too!

Jonker street at late night turns out to be a big Basar Malam place. But the stuffs are pretty much the same, From clothes to bags, to ornaments to souvenirs, to food and even more food. :) One thing tat surprised me was the jap food stall. It is jus like any other push cart stalls but serves salmon sashimi, soft shell crab tempura. Some how or rather, they still look rather fresh and slean despite the lousy condition on the streets.

After the walk, we went back to our room where we drank n ate n gambled. lol Yes, we didnt have enough in Genting. Esp me! But in the end, still lose some more...

The next day we walked to the KTV in the mega mall. To our surprised, the three hours session with lunch and drink only cost us 10RM each!!! DIRT CHEAP SIA!?! Maybe next time should go JB to KTV liao. lol

Below are some of the pics we took!


First World Hotel. The hotel we all stayed in. :P


I am supposed to point the hotel name... Stupid photographer.


Check out the fog behind us!


The Hotel in Malacca that we stayed in. The roof top got BBQ on thurs!


This is the famous chicken rice stall i was talking about. But the chicken dun look very nice hor? SOme more the taste is not that fantastic too. Jus that the "balls" are nice i guess.


Check out the "BALLS" Still think the West Coast chicken rice win hands down. Some more got nice herbal soup one. lol


Stop over along Jonker Road to try this uncle "Popiah" Not that fantastic too. But the fried ones looks good in the photo hor!?! :P


The Famous dessert stall along Jonker Road.


Apparantly they all sells nice ice kachang and chendol. Love the sweet Chendols.


I read thru the article and found out that actually the stall is famous for its nice, museum-like cafe. Which is interesting to some. Including me. But where is the best Chendol?!?


Night view is nice too.

That kinda ends up Malacca. Nothing special and nothing much. Tot i would see some nice Nonya Stuffs. Maybe i didnt go to the right places...


Dumpling soup from JB Market.


Wild Boar meat stir fried with Spring onions and ginger. The meat is succulent and very tender!


Claypot Tauhu which is pretty much simple, and not very tasty.


Fried fish which is pretty nice despite the simple sauce.


Finally we had the Crabby roe Crabs. A bit on the salty side for me. Pity the auntie gave us the crabs with lotsa roe. But we all didnt eat much. lol High cholesterol!

Surely, the trip would be pretty boring without the ever-funny me with the ever funny looks. lol
