[MY; 2024] Kuala Lumpur & Genting foodie trip

Was in Kuala Lumpur for a work trip, and managed to extend the trip with my family to go on a foodie trip :)

Kuala Lumpur

Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur Hotel

Stayed in this five star hotel!


It is not a very new 5 stars hotel, more of a old school vibe 5 stars? The facilities were like a mix of new and old. We actually experienced a blackout during the stay, the power supply was cut off, I was at the ground floor and couldn't return back to room for 1-2 hours.

Would I recommend? Not really, nah, there are better KL hotels out there.

Terrasse KL

A rooftop restaurant that serves yummy food, the night view was gorgeous! The staff were very welcoming and helped with the fans etc. Enjoyed the meal very much!


FOOK

This restaurant was very ig-worthy - they used very bold oriental design, which makes the place a very luxurious restaurant!

Came in to the private room and was given a welcome drink!

Even though it was catered food but everything was on the dot - very Chinese-Malaysian taste.

The red lanterns looked prettier at night:

Definitely a must try in KL!

Cheevit Cheeva

I heard that this is a very popular cafe in Bangkok, specializing in Thai "bingsu". My favourite pastime is chewing on shaved ice, so I cannot miss this out!



The cafe was quite "disorganized" - the menu was online and ordering over the counter. I could not get connected to the roaming for a bit and I asked for the physical menu, and they couldn't find one. HAHA

The desserts were quite special in a good way - I really liked the tapioca pearls, they were chewy. The mango tasted fresh and good. Very surprisingly nice!

Genting Highlands

Right after desserts - we booked a Grab and headed straight to Genting Highlands! If you're curious, we booked a 6 seater car and the trip costed RM 128. It would be cheaper if you get a 4 seater car but we had some luggage.


Highest Family Mart!

It claimed to be the world best fish & chips...
But I find it really average hahaha maybe I have slightly higher expectations as I ate quite a few good ones in Australia. Would recommend if you have cravings for fried fish!

This was one of our favourite soup place in Genting since like 10 over years ago. It is always nice to have something warm in the cool weather, would recommend!

I tried their noodles in Singapore, so decided to give it a try in Malaysia!

It does warm your heart somehow, but if I have to rank, I would prefer the herbal soup over this. Would be nice if the portions can be slightly bigger!

Grand Imperial Restaurant Genting Highlands

I was craving for some duck meat and the best I could find was this restaurant which doesn't need much reserving / bookings.

But it was really very disappointing, the meat was tough and oily... not the duck meat I was expecting.



This fried beehoon and fried rice saved the meal, otherwise I would walk out of this place really upset.

I would really recommend the seafood at Steam Era! We really loved the prawn with glass noodles, and also the set lunch:


But the steam meat was disappointing - it wasn't cheap but the portion was sad. Like this:

You cannot go wrong with Din Tai Fung - and it was cheaper to have it there vs Singapore. Xiao Long Pau were yummy with juicy soup!

Beena's Signature Sky Avenue

If you are looking for pocket-friendly eateries in Genting - this is the place:

They served very affordable set meal which comes with a main dish and drinks. It didn't hurt the wallet at all (Genting food can be quite expensive!)

The portions were good, and taste well all good! Just the drinks can be a little sweet for Singapore standards.
You can literally hear me saying "recommend"!

This marks my foodie trip for both places!
