Shanghai 10@ First World Hotel.

I woke up to a cold morning after the music concert.

The view of the city lights from my room were breathtaking.
Thought of having something warm like BKTeh to start the day which I spotted yesterday near the Indoor Theme Park.

After a roller coaster-like ride of many conveyor stairway to reach the restaurant we were disappointed to find that they were not ready to serve customers until 9 a.m.

Nearby, Shanghai 10 was open with tempting offer of Rm3.80/plate of Dim Sum.
We thought we had a great deal but alas the food were not to our expectations !


Lamplight around the perimeter of the restaurant.

Chairs with encased Chinese characters cloth.

Small tea cup to quench your thirst.

Salad Prawn-crispy crust with a whole prawn-the miniest salad prawn that I have ever eaten-Rm3.80/.

Chicken Siew Pao-came hot-the fillings were suspect???-Rm3.80.

Chicken Porridge-served with minced chicken, century egg and chopped spring onion -average-Rm5/

Har Kow-Prawn Dumplings-the prawn tasted fresh and the translucent skin was smooth-Rm3.80/

Vegetarian Noodle-tasteless, soggy noodle served with a stalk of blanched Siew Pak Choy-Rm3.80/

RESTAURANT GOOD FRIENDS-GENTING HIGHLANDS

Last Saturday,we were invited to attend a 8 course dinner plus free hotel accommodation in Genting Highland, Pahang. the event was organized by the Rice Wholesaler's Association of Malaysia, and was held at the Genting International Convention Centre. The last time we went to Genting was a year ago, so this was a good trip to rest and rejuvenate. We left our house at 8 a.m. and have a light dim sum breakfast at Restoran Tuck Kee at Kepong Maluri before cruising on the MRR2 to the resort. The drive up was a breeze except for the last lap from the Chinese temple towards the resort which was full of steep road gradient. Upon arriving and parking the car in the hotel basement's car park, our top agenda was to have a fling at the casino.

Heading to the Highland Resort's casino through a myriads of interconnecting stair escalators from the the indoor theme park.


We stayed in this hotel-The First World Hotel and Plaza-the room was a bit crammed-no complaint since it's on the house.

We went out for some fresh mountain air after all the stuffy and smoke filled and unhealthy air in the casino- a view of the outdoor theme park.

After all the walking and sightseeing, we had lunch at Restaurant Good Friends-a typical oriental restaurant serving dim sum and Chineses cuisine and snacks.

Chinese tea-rm1.50/pax-to go with our noodles-saved the best for tonight's dinner!

The array of roast chicken, pork and BBQ pork belly available-so tempting!

We ordered and shared a plate of dry noodle with 6 pieces of wan ton-was a big letdown the BBQ pork was cold with odd and bits pieces-rm16.10

A claypot of yee mee-came sizzling hot-filled with vegetables, crab sticks, deep fried flour crackers and a raw egg-was tasty-rm18.40.


After lunch, took a brisk walk around the indoor theme park, watching happy children having fun with their various rides, before checking into the room for some rest.
