Genting Highlands 5th January 2010

Missed out something in earlier post. Before we reached the cable car station, the taxi driver brought us to Chocolate Gallery aka Cocoa Boutique at Gohtong Jaya. Well… I’m sure he will get some commission for sending us there ;p. I missed it in Penang, finally got the chance to visit it here.

The chocolate were surprisingly smooth and rich. They’re made in Malaysia and it’s halal. We tried quite a number of chocolate there and spent RM201.90 on 4 types of chocolates.

It’s better to buy the chocolate in plastic packaging rather than box because it’s much cheaper. Don’t worry about the ugliness as they will provide you with box for each packet.

Left: Panned Tiramisu Milk Almond(RM48). It’s very bitter at first but once the coat of powder is gone, the smooth and rich milk chocolate just melt in the mouth.

Right: Harriston Panned Milk, White, Dark Assortment(RM88). Haven’t open this up to eat ;p However, tried in on the spot, not bad too. Very smooth chocolate.

Left: Olivia Milk Raisin(RM16.90), bought it just to make the total reach RM200 *LOL*

Right: Harriston Durian Milk Chocolate(RM49), haven’t open this up to try yet, it will expire in March as there is no preservative and real durian is used for the filling of this chocolate. I heard quite a lot of good reviews about it so we decided to buy it.

Here’s the view from the lobby of Theme Park Hotel. Taken after came out of our room.

We walked, walked, walked aimlessly. Just to see see look look.

When it’s dinner time, we thought of going back to have chili crab at Happy Valley Seafood Restaurant at Theme Park Hotel but discovered the steamboat promotion(RM19.90++/pax) at Hot Pot. Since the night is cool, having steamboat would be fun. You can choose to have tom yam or chicken soup. We opted for chicken soup.

Too bad… Was disappointed with the choice of food available. The only thing that worth to eat was the prawn, the rest were just those fish balls, meatballs, vegetables, you know… Those usual steamboat thing that will make you bloat. The chicken meat wasn’t thinly cut and had lots of bones. You get free flow Chinese tea.

The prawns were quite fresh but it finished very fast! It’s limited too! It took them quite a while to refill. Well… Estimated from what we had, I don’t think each of us ate more than RM19.90++. Overall total was RM68.65(inclusive of GST and service charge).

Anyway, what most important is that we are no more hungry, we felt warmer ;p and it’s been a long time we don’t have steamboat session together. I think we should find a day maybe when my sister and brother are back to have a steamboat session together.

After dinner, we walked again to anywhere, everywhere, as long that there’s road to walk. Visited all the casinos too but didn’t gamble a single cent. After that, we called it a night and headed back to our room.
