Fun at the Peak with SnowWorld, Resorts World Genting- Officially Launched!

Think of the scorching hot weather in Kuala Lumpur, sweating under the burning sun like nobody's business. Who wouldn't love to escape from this place for some cool air and pleasant weather? How about imagining yourself running into the world of snow, forgetting about the reality of the warm mother nature? Head over to the brand new SnowWorld for some icy adventure, feeling just as good as the scenes in Winter Sonata =D

Besides that , the World Heritage Concept was enhanced by the appearance of The English Tea Shop, French Bakery, and Italian Pizzeria, contributing experience of many cultures in one location.

Can you see the small floats with different colours? Another point of worth visiting here is getting to experience the adventurous Play Slide or Cresta Run Slide. Be prepared to slide down from the top of hill with the cool and chill wind blowing, coupled with the speedy ride that will sure make your heart beating fast!

AirAsia Cafe In-flight Meal

I have heard good comments about Pak Nasser's Nasi Lemak served on board in AA. So this time since I'm flying with them, I have to try it out.

From KUL to DPS


A pack of goodness for RM12
 

Chicken rendang is filled with spices that it should have, so fragrant and delicious! Sambal tastes sweet more than spicy, not a bad thing to me as I find it suits my tastebud well. The rice is aromatic and rich with santan. It has the right amount of wetness thanks to santan, at the same time fluffy. Every spoonful of rice is sending me to coconut rice heaven. It was the best nasi lemak in my books! How nice if the portion was bigger =P



Roast Chicken with Black Pepper Mushroom Sauce (RM12)
 
 
It was a decent and healthy choice of meal. Wash them all down with a cup of Chatime Mango Green Tea w/ Rainbow Jelly (RM8).
 
From DPS to KUL
 

PN's Nasi Lemak (RM14) again because we really love it so much. Unfortunately to our dissapointment, the taste was different. I thought they are using the same recipe right?

The rice was not as fragrant and moist as the one served in Malaysia, and it was extra salty. Sambal was too sweet to our liking. The rendang was decent, but less laden with spices. The size of the anchovies was larger hence contains harder bones. We didn't enjoy this.


 
Uncle Chin's Chicken Rice (RM14)
 
Again, the rice here is dry and lack of chicken stock. Chicken was just okay. The Malaysian hawker type chicken rice is way much better than this (and cheaper tsk tsk)
 
I am craving for the earlier nasi lemak and I want it so badly now. Just wondering is there any Pak Nasser's Nasi Lemak sold in KL? Anyone? =D
