It was a short journey to Genting Highlands from Berjaya Hills - Bukit Tinggi, our next stop. On the way up to the resort Genting Highlands, we made a stop at Gohtong Jaya, approximately half way up to Genting.
Here we went to one of the local shops selling Malaysia products and bought the speciality Chicken Biscuit at RM15.50 (USD4.50) per container. There is another brand retailing at RM12.50 (USD3.65) but was not as fragrant tasting.

As our room was complimentary, it was a very standard room with basic amenities and no view. Don't expect 5 star facilities as guests who stay here normally patronise the casinos and do not spend much time in the rooms.
HOLIDAY TRAVEL TIPS:-
If you like to try your hand in the casino, it is advisable to apply for the Genting WorldCard so that you can earn some points whilst trying your luck at the same time. With a promotion on now, you can get a free room night once you have earned 1 Genting Point on your card.
There you go!

Next we bought a double scoop of ice cream from Baskin Robbins for RM16.30 (USD4.70). No discounts here unless you are a staff of Genting Highlands.
After enjoying the delicious ice-cream, we went to Star World Casino in First World Hotel. However, they used a different system here and we could not make use of our Genting WorldCard to earn Genting Points. Instead, we had to apply for a different card here in order to earn any points.
How fast time flies when you are enjoying yourself! It is already the second day of our Malaysia vacation and having left Colmar Tropicale Resort in Berjaya Hills, we made our way to another highlands resort accommodation in Genting Highlands. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Japanese Village and the Botanical Gardens in Bukit Tinggi where we were able to capture the sights of the lovely highlands flowers. A great highlands holiday!

We ordered the bak kut teh (pork rib soup) and sambal kangkong (chilli vegetable). At RM13 (USD3.80) per person, the bak kut teh was slightly pricey and considered as tourist prices. It was not too bad and had quite a good quantity of ingredients although the soup was not refillable, which means that if you wanted extra soup, you would have had to pay for the extra soup which is normally provided free. We loved the sambal kangkong for the great taste. Somehow it was great tasting, nice and juicy. The total cost for lunch inclusive of Chinese cruellers and 2 cans of soft drinks came up to RM46 (USD13.40), a little on the high end

Upon arriving at First World Hotel, we took approximate an hour and a half to find a parking space, take a queue number to check in and finally get our room key.

To attract more guests to the resort, there are now shuttle services provided from various locations in Malaysia to Genting Highlands.
The last time we were in Genting Highlands, we had missed their entertainment show Dazzle as the performers were off on that day. This time, to prevent us from missing the show again, we went to the booking counter to purchase the tickets. However, the normal seats at RM60 (USD17.40) were all fully booked for the night and only VIP seats at RM90 (USD26.10) were available. We decided to book the normal seat tickets for the next day instead.

That being the case, we took a shuttle bus from First World Hotel to Highlands Hotel and went to Casino de Royale where we could earn Genting Points with our Genting WorldCard. Unfortunately for us, luck was not on our side and we donated some money to the Casino.

When we returned to our accommodation at First World Genting Hotel, we called for shampoo to be sent to the room since there was none provided. To our surprise, they sent an amenity set.
