Rice with curry chicken - curry was not too bad

Chicken rice was best! We love the fragrant and aromatic rice

Chicken rice but this time, we tried the roasted chicken which was just a little dry

Genting Highlands Vacation 22nd – 25th Oct 2010 Day 3

Time just flies when you are enjoying yourself, doesn’t it? It does not seem as though we have been here for three days already and it is now time to check out from this Genting Highlands Resort, First World Hotel.

View from First World Hotel, Genting Resort

Checking out was a breeze. As long as you check out before 12 noon, the official check out time, there will be a staff on hand at the various check out kiosks located in the lobby. Just hand them your room key and you are done! No questions asked! Checking out could not be any easier!!!

Today we headed to Hainan Kitchen Restaurant in First World Plaza once again to have the Steamed Chicken rice as well as Curry Chicken rice. The meal was tasty, fragrant and filling.

Later we had a drink at Starbucks to pass the time as well as surf the internet and respond to emails.

In the afternoon, before our bus ride back to Singapore at 1530 hrs, we headed to Hainan Kitchen once again since we still had another voucher for a complimentary meal.

Though we would have preferred to visit one of the other restaurants in the casino, it was a bit inconvenient as we had our luggage with us since the Bell Desk area had such a long queue and we did not want to bother queueing to place our luggage there.

This time, we tried the Mee Hailam in Hainan Kitchen. Though it was good, we still prefer their chicken rice which is simply too good to resist.

Heading for the Genting bus terminal at 1500 hrs, we said our goodbyes to this beautiful Malaysia highlands which is blessed with a lovely cool weather of 16 - 22 oC. Being nature lovers, we felt that it would be even better if Genting Resort has a park with highlands flowers and plants to beautify the area; as this would definitely be another added attraction for tourists besides the current casino and indoor/outdoor theme parks.

Stopping along the way by the foot of Genting Highlands, the bus made a toilet stop as well as a shopping stop. Here you could buy some Malaysia products if you wish to.

Thereafter, there was one stop along the way at Yong Peng to have dinner before we arrived safely back in Singapore at approximately 2200 hrs.
