First World Hotel @ Genting Highlands

There are 5 hotels in Genting Highlands namely Awana Genting (4 Star), First World (3 star), Theme Park (3 star), Resort (4 star), Maxim and Genting Grand (5 star).  However as the outdoor theme park is closed for massive renovation, Theme Park Hotel is also closed.

I have stayed in all except Theme Park and Genting Grand. My son popped us a question why we never book Genting Grand? Must be the most expensive hotel here.

First World Hotel used to have 2 towers, additional tower 3 just launched this year.  And they are targeting to build by 2018 another 2 towers which going to be 5 star.

We have experienced staying at Tower 3 which they have two types of room i.e. XYZ Deluxe and XYZ Triple.  Still a small room similar to Deluxe, just that everything is new here.

I have tried their Standard, Deluxe and Superior Deluxe Room, if those with view are still alright but if you got a room with Courtyard, meaning your window is facing another room is definitely not comfy. Standard room is real small with not much space to walk around,

First World Hotel is suitable if you have children with you as Cineplex, Bowling Arcade, Indoor Theme Park are all here. 

Checking in and checking out is a breeze as it takes you less than 5 minutes through kiosk and the latter a few seconds.

You can have a choice of dory (RM6.50) garoupa (RM8.50) or giant garoupa (RM12). It also has 3 types of Rice Vermicelli noodle, if you prefer crystal addition 50 sen only.

The stall owner is off on Wednesday if not wrong. I will reconfirm on this.

Simple Recipe - Carrot Egg

You must be kidding, everyone can cook an egg dish. Yes, yes, I know, with eggs you can do wonder, steam, fry etc.

Just let me share this simple dish which looks similar to scramble egg that my youngest son loves and he will ask if I have not been cooking after a long time. I think it is a real long time since I last cooked this dish, could be 10 months ago.

Simple, you only need eggs and carrot. I am sure all the little kids will love it too.  I am using here left over carrot, so you can see from the picture Carrot Egg but not enough carrot!

Hotel Accommodation in Boracay

There are lots of hotels along the White Beach.  White Beach is segregate to Station 1, Station 2 and Station 3. If you prefer a quiet place, go for Station 3.  Station 2 is the most happening area.  Station 1 not bad too.

If you prefer more privacy, then you may stay at Bulabog beach area.

However, I prefer white beach area Station 2 which is very convenient as is only 10 minutes walk to both Station 1 and Station 3.  D Talipapa and D Mall are both located at Station 2

Choon Prawn Mee House @ Taman Paramount

If you are in Petaling Jaya area and looking for prawn mee, try Choon Penang Prawn Mee at Taman Paramount. The owner, Mr Peter Kang was operating a stall at O & S Restaurant before moving to his own restaurant in November 2013. He has been selling prawn mee for the past 30 years.

Operating from a whole shop now, he has more space to add on varieties here. Besides prawn mee, they also have Penang Loh Mee, Penang Chee Cheong Fun, Penang Kuey Toew Teng, Nyonya Dry Curry Mee, Homemade Lor Bak, Stew Chicken Feet, Nasi Lemak and Nyonya Rice Special.

As a small eater, I just ordered their normal Prawn mee (RM7 per bowl). For me it was a bit oily and the broth, on the sweet side. Overall, it was good but really depends on individual preference. My husband ordered addition of pork ribs and squid whereas my son ordered addition of pork intestines and big prawn to the normal size which cost RM13 a bowl each.  

We also ordered a plate of Stew Chicken Feet but not to my son's preference but was alright with my husband.  

The price range of their prawn noodle is from RM7 to RM18.  The higher price will comes with King prawn.
