Good Friends @ Genting.

An overnight stay to escape the city's heat and soaring temperature.

Woke up early for breakfast at Good Friends @ Genting Highlands.

A restaurant with a good selections of Dim sum and Chinese cuisine.

Conveniently located one escalator down from the main casino.

The cool atmosphere was a plus point but the noisy diners was a big no-no ! 

Xiao Long Bao-a bit thick skinned but filled with hot, juicy meat that oozed out with the first bite-eat it with black vinegar and thinly sliced ginger..

Chinese Dumpling-pan fried at the bottom and filled with minced pork/spring onion-very nice texture.

Vegetarian Yee mee- topped with a Tapioca starch gravy-a good mixture of vegetable like Chinese long cabbage, straw mushroom, carrot, sweet pea and black fungus.

Chicken rice- a piece of roast chicken drumstick with round cabbage/carrot om it's side- sweet brown sauce as a dip.

Location: Highland Hotel,

Genting Highlands, Pahang.

Tortilla Wrap.

I saw something similar to these tortilla wrap that my wife made, being sold in a kiosk in the Indoor Theme Park in Genting Highlands.

It is easy and simple to make.
Place a piece of toasted tortilla (bought from Carrefour) on a round pan fried whisked eggs.
Add in fresh lettuce, shredded cucumber, sliced red tomato and two chicken sausages.
Spread it up with a combination of tomato or chillies sauce.
Wrap it up and cut it diagonally into bite sizes and it is ready to be serve !

Great for breakfast with a hot drink.

RESTORAN GENTING PALACE.

We went on a one day trip to Genting Highlands to escape the city's heat.

After a light breakfast of Yong Tofu, we arrived at the peak at about 10.30 am.

We went on a twenty minutes ride on a cute caterpillar Monorail train (Rm8/person) which started from the Indoor Theme Park and encircled around the Outdoor Theme Park with a great view of the whole resort- people howled and screamed on terror adrenalin pumping rides like Rollercoaster, Spaceshot, Pirate Ship, Giant Swing, ....etc

The weather was kind to us-cool, windy and misty with thick white clouds overhead, just nice for a walk around.

Came lunchtime, we ate at Restoran Genting Palace located just a few steps from the main casino.
Restoran Genting Palace is grand with a warm, cozy and quiet ambiance.

Service was good and attentive.
