Breakfast On The 3rd & Last Day In Genting Highlands.

Woke up feeling fresh on the 2nd morning in Genting Highlands. I managed to get a few hours of good sleep on the 2nd night, probably tired out by all the walking around and the lack of sleep on the previous night. I usually do not sleep well on the first 2 nights when I go on holidays.

7:52:59 am

I pull apart the curtains and opened the windows to see this "good morning" view.

7:53:33 am

Then I went about my morning routine of getting myself ready in my own sweet time while my friends slept on. There was still plenty of time for them to sleep since we were not in a hurry for breakfast yet. We had decided the previous night to go back again to Nyonya Colors for our breakfast.

Breakfast at 10.38 am.

For starter, we ordered 2 packets of Plain Mee Siam and 2 packets of Nyonya kueh (1 sweet & 1 savoury + spicy).

A plate of Mee Siam with Chicken Rendang.

A bowl of Dry Curry Chicken Mee.

A bowl of Black glutinous rice sweet porridge (hak loh mai chok) with coconut milk added. So yummy-licious!

Another yummy-licious bowl of oatmeal sweet porridge (mutt chok tong sui) with coconut milk added. Haven't eaten such delicious sweet porridge for a long time!

I have to dim the light to capture all these sparkling crystals.

After breakfast, we self-checkout from our room and walked over to join the other group at Resort Hotel. We left our bags with them and had a look-see walkabout.

And we also had a chance to learn something about the founder of Genting Highlands.

Waiting at the hotel lobby for our transport to pick us up at 4pm. Thank God for a smooth and safe journey home to Ipoh even though it was raining at certain part of our journey.

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything;

tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank him for his answers.

2nd Day Dinner At Genting Highlands.

On the 2nd day in Genting at about 3 pm, we were at Resort Hotel and we took a few outdoor snapshots. It was cool and not windy. We didn't walk over to the Maxims hotel, just took a front view snapshot of it.

Maxims Hotel

There were times when the fog was so dense, I thought there was a blank wall facing me up close when I opened my hotel room window.

The colourful building is the First World Hotel where we stayed.

Passage way decorated with silver pots.

Lake at the Indoor Theme park.

When inside the Indoor Theme Park or the casinos, one can easily lose track of the time.

On our 2nd day, we saw a sudden increase of foreign tourists coming in groups led by their tour guides. We had to watch out for one another that we do not get separated from our own group.

Long queue waiting to apply for casino membership cards.

By the 2nd day, our feet had gotten used to all the walking. Due to all the walking, I slept better on the 2nd night.

I can't remember the name of the place we had our 2nd night dinner, but the food was good and tasty. We ordered 3 types of steamed rice.

#1 - Kung Po chicken served on top of the steamed rice in a pot.

#2 - Kam Heong chicken served on top of the steamed rice in a pot.

#3 - Ginger chicken served on top of the steamed rice in a pot.

No photo for #3 because it turned out very blurr.

The following photos are for joining Saturday's Critters.

I found this beautiful green critter on my Chinese Lemon Leaf or Cuban Oregano Leaf while I was watering my plants.

It looks like it has 2 eyes and a small mouth on top of a big mouth and it was looking at me!

Such a beautiful critter - an amazing creation of our God The Creator.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

At the Flood the Lord showed his control of all creation.

Now he continues to unveil his power.

Dinner, Breakfast & Beautiful Sky View At Genting Highlands.

As we walked around the place which I called "Genting Indoor City", we visited shops and some of us did some shopping. Some of us took the opportunity to snap photos. We also visited the casinos and some of us played the slot machines with the rest of us joining in the excitement. I think we had more fun watching our friends played the games than we ourselves playing the games.

There are many restaurants and food stalls available. By about 5.30 pm we were all feeling hungry and we finally found ourselves seated at Restaurant Hou Mei browsing through the menu. We were seated at a long table and I only snapped 3 of our orders. I think the price is between MYR 18 to MYR 21.

I snapped this view from our room.

By about 8 pm we were ready to go back to our rooms to rest our tired feet. We have been walking so much that our feet were aching. It was very cold the first night and it rained because I could hear the rain splashing on the glass window next to my bed. As usual, I didn't sleep much the 1st night and I lost count the number of times I went to the toilet.

10:08:09 am

Next morning about 10 am, we went to look for late breakfast or brunch. We stopped to snap these beautiful view through the glass panels. The white line across the picture is caused by the glass panels.

10:08:12 am

Feeling wonderful looking across the clouds covered mountain top.

10:08:21 am

How nice if we could stay longer to enjoy the view but we were hungry.

Passage way to our hotel room at First World Hotel.

Entrance to one of the casinos. I can't recall the number of trips we made to the different casinos. We are not big gamblers but we enjoyed watching the games and the gamblers! Besides going to the casinos, there is nothing much to do so we have to look for the non-smoking area.
