Genting Theme Park

Got a free ticket to the theme park, so I just went in to have a look...

The theme park looks totally different after the reconstruction a few years ago.

Some rides are still similar to the previous ones, just some facelift and a different theme

there are plenty of souvenir shops in various replica buildings

mimicking some old cowboy town

a water fountain....looking dull under the misty weather

I went there in the morning, some rides were not opened yet, or perhaps it was due to the weather - drizzling rain, about to get heavier soon

roller coaster....

some sort of 'town'....looks eerie like zombie town with no one around

another water fountain

i did not check what's inside these buildings

teacups ride, re-branded to Rio birds ride

the flowers bloom well under the cool weather

so bright and colorful

everything looks dull except the flowers/plants

see what I mean?

[Below] This used to be 'solero shot' ride....I went for this ride some 20 years ago with my course mates after our final exam. Played a few times till 'immune'. Now I don't think I can ride it anymore....my heart couldn't take it😂

Real bakery or fake?

Fake one....all the shops, bakeries, motor shop, garage, banks are replicas, just imitation

the hotel is a replica too

[Below] Double decker bus - upper deck. 

No, you can't dine here....just for people to snap photo only.

The steep staircase going down to the lower deck.

One whole section of the theme park was closed for repair works, hence nothing much to see currently. I came out after an hour stroll.

Birthday Freebie #3: RT Pastry

[Throwback Dec 2025]

I joined RT membership sometime mid of last year. Didn't expect a free b'day gift since I seldom utilize my membership points nor top-up points after every purchase.

Nevertheless, I still get a slice of cake which can be claimed within 3 days before/after the actual birthday.

There are 4 flavors to choose from (as seen here, top row)

Taste OK ler, nothing to shout about.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dim sum dinner at Hong Fu Lao. During the weekdays, they have mushroom chicken lap cheong rice (RM13.90+)

Chicken feet....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thai basil minced pork rice from Thai Chala. I opted for the mild spicy. 

This is my usual order when I want rice with some proteins.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Korean lunch - bulgogi jjungsik with rice, 6 banchans and tea (RM24.20 nett) at Midam BBQ restaurant. This is my usual go-to place for my 'Korean food fix'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the new year eve, I went to claim my final b'day gift. This time from Family Mart....a green tea sofuto!

why so tiny already?

Since I was already there, might as well buy some 'junks' for my next day lunch - 

kimchi rice, sausage with cheese gimbap (RM11.90)

and a piece of spicy 'chicky' chicken chop (RM1)

yes, RM1 for a small piece of chicken chop which I bought from DigiCelcom app promo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Below] The view outside my room window in Oasia hotel. On the right is Springleaf Tower. Below that tower there is a McD that I usually go to try out the unusual seasonal items (like truffle burger, korean jajjang burger etc)😂

The Oasia hotel building is designed with greenery, and the exterior includes 21 species of climbing plants on its facade. Can't really see the plants from inside the room, although this building can be easily spotted from afar due to its unique facade.

Birthday Freebie #2: Grand Cha Chaan Teng

[Throwback Dec 2025]

Another freebie for my birthday in Dec is a set meal worth RM50 in Grand Cha Chaan Teng at SkyAvenue mall.

RM50 looks like alot for a pax but the food is expensive up there, so can only order a duck breast rice....

and an egg with ham sandwich.

Duck breast meat was abit tough. Egg with ham sandwich was just so-so.

Well, can't complaint much since it is free food😂

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Below] Some Christmas decoration in Crockford hotel.

with fake deers and horse.

There were some kiosks selling gifts/souvenirs too.

[Below] The blinking lights at the escalator.

Meanwhile a carousel (not a real one) is spotted at the main atrium.

The lower ground floor of the SkyAvenue mall occupies the pubs/clubs. 

Have you been to the Zouk?

The escalators....

it looks cloudy from the transparent glass ceiling.

 

Birthday Freebie #1: Two Pesos

[Throwback Dec 2025]

Went to Two Pesos again to claim my b'day 'free gift'.

With any hotpot order, eligible to claim add-on meat - so I claimed 3 pork balls. The pork balls taste like pork wanton without the wanton skin.

The above is pumpkin soup base with dory fish.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bought some junks and an early CNY pineapple tart from the supermarket in Pinnacle mall.

There was promotion during then.

The pineapple tart was only RM16.88 per jar. Quite worth-it!

Tastes good too! Sadly, the promo has ended.

I was so hungry that i ordered a CKT (RM18.90+) and egg with spam rice (RM10.90+).

CKT has a fried egg topping by default. There are 2 prawns underneath.

Both taste OK, total bill came to RM31.30 nett after service charges.

The Christmas tree at the entrance of Pinnacle mall which has now taken down.
