Our adventure commenced with a breathtaking ascent aboard the SkyWay, that ferried us from the Genting Highlands Premium Outlet to the awe-inspiring Resorts World Genting. As we soared through the azure heavens in the Glass Floor Gondola, the panoramic views below unfolded like an artist’s masterpiece.
Ascending higher, the intrepid journey led them into an ethereal world, a realm shrouded in a nebulous embrace, akin to traversing the very heart of celestial clouds. The bottom station, obscured by the enigmatic mist, faded from sight, leaving a sense of wonder and mystery in the air.
Upon our arrival at Resorts World Genting, we were greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality, making us feel right at home. Genting Skyworlds Hotel, a boutique family inn atop Genting Highlands with colorful decor and children-inspired graffiti adorn rooms for two, four and six guests. The lobby also features a tree & trunks play area which is a delight for kids. Conveniently located near Arena of Stars and SkyWorlds, the hotel offers close to 300 rooms. Unwind and delight in the charm of this enchanting abode.
The afternoon’s promise was etched in the allure of Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park, a realm where reality and fantasy merged into a seamless wonderland. As we stepped foot into Skytropolis, we were transported back in time to an era reminiscent of classic carnival delights. The vibrant colors, nostalgic music, and lively atmosphere created an instant surge of childlike excitement within us. It was a pleasure to see some of the rides being disabled friendly. How thoughtful of them!
Sky VR, on the other hand, was an oasis of technological marvels. This cutting-edge virtual reality zone immersed us in captivating worlds beyond our wildest imaginations. From paragliding at an extreme height to airlifted by a “flying robot” and into an action-packed 360-degree experience, each experience was a symphony of sensory delights.
The heart-pounding rides at Skytropolis offered a thrilling respite, making us feel like daredevils soaring through the skies. We went on the Super Glider twice as we couldn’t get enough of it after the first ride. The exhilaration of twirling, spinning, and looping sent our hearts racing and smiles beaming.
The private dining room at The Olive
With the sun gracefully bidding farewell, we decided to relish a gastronomic delight at The Olive which is now a Muslim-friendly culinary haven for modern Malaysian cuisine. Located in the Genting Grand Hotel, this establishment offers a delightful array of authentic Malaysian dishes that celebrate the country’s rich culinary traditions. From the savory Gear Box Soup to the crispy Popiah Makanan Laut and refreshing Kerabu Nangka Salad, every bite is a burst of flavor.
As bedtime approached, we retired to our cozy hotel room, replaying the day’s adventures in our minds and ready for the next.
As the sun ascended on the second day of our wondrous escapade, we headed to the Malaysian Food Street – a true celebration of authentic hawker fare from various corners of the country. Bringing together 14 established hawkers from Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown, the culinary paradise of Penang, the historical charm of Melaka, the tantalizing offerings of Ipoh, and the gastronomic delights of Kuching, the Malaysian Food Street spared no effort in offering a diverse and mouthwatering experience to its patrons. It was as if the entire country’s culinary heritage had been condensed into this one vibrant space.
The Hainanese Chicken Rice was a revelation, tender chicken perched atop fragrant rice, exuding a heavenly aroma. A harmonious symphony of flavors and textures, this delectable masterpiece left an indelible mark on our taste buds. The accompanying trio of sauces – tangy chili, piquant ginger, and savory dark soy – elevated the dish to new heights, offering a delightful play of tastes.
Penang Char Koay Teow took me on a flavor-packed journey, the wok masterfully orchestrating the ingredients into a stir-fried symphony that danced on my palate. This stir-fried delight is a harmonious marriage of flat rice noodles, plump bean sprouts, chives, and delectable Chinese sausage, all wok-tossed to perfection in a tantalizing blend of soy sauce, chili paste, and fragrant spices.
The Malaysian Food Street didn’t stop at just these offerings; it beckoned me to explore further. I found myself drawn to the renowned Klang Bak Kut Teh, a herbal soup brimming with succulent pork ribs that warmed my soul.
Koon Kee Wan Tan Mee, where springy egg noodles are elegantly dressed in a luscious dark sauce, bringing forth a symphony of umami flavors. On a separate bowl of soup are plump wantan dumplings, each one concealing a treasure trove of minced pork and prawns. The dish is garnished with fresh leafy vegetables & Sweet Char Siew, adding a refreshing crunch to the medley of tastes and textures.
We found the pricing pretty reasonable at this outlet as the Dim Sum set of 4 only cost RM23 and the set of Half Boiled Eggs, Toast & Coffee at only RM15.
The operating hours of the Malaysian Food Street catered to both early risers and night owls alike, ensuring that no matter the time of day, one could revel in this gastronomic affair. From 8am – 9pm, the Malaysian Food Street welcomed diners, and on Thursdays to Saturdays and the eve of public holidays, 8am – 11pm.
