KL & Genting (12-14 Apr)

Family trip to KL and Genting. There were 7 adults and 4 children. Self-drive, 2 cars, one of which was a MPV rented in JB (RM180 per day). Stayed a night in KL at Crown Regency Serviced Suites http://www.crownregencyservicedsuites.com/, which was only about 5min walk to KLCC. I think it was really value for money - RM438 per night for a 3BR apartment. Actually the one priced at RM438 was a smaller unit (1,040 sqft) but the aircon in the living room of that particular unit we checked in broke down! My sis complained and made it sound bad and hence they upgraded us to a bigger unit at 1,400sqft. No add'l charge haha!
There was one and only computer terminal at the apartment lobby but the connection simply couldn't make it! Gave up trying after 15min. If you were to bring your own comp, you can use it at the Coffee Bean just beside the apartment lobby.

fully-equipped kitchenette

Living & dining area. Spacious enough for the kids to run all over!

Bath tub in master bedroom
Master bedroom. The other 2 rooms come with 2 single beds which you can just push to combine them if need be.

Next day, we continued and drove to Genting. Stayed at Resort Hotel - Deluxe Room at RM183 per room per night without breakfast (booked direct on the Genting website). No photos of this. It looks as it is shown on the website.

My sis-in-law told us about an eating place about 5min drive down from the hotels called 蘑菇村 (or mushroom farm). It's actually at where the Billion Court and Amber Court are. They provide complimentary shuttle to-and-fro their restaurant and hotel. Food was certainly more tasty and price more reasonably compared to those in Genting. We had 5 dishes - total bill came to less than RM90 for all of us.

The food was quite good actually. Or perhaps we were hungry! Haha! Whatever it is, it's definitely worth going! Genting food is so ex!
