hill-view balcony
very strong wind when i open up the door...its better be closed

After 3 sightseeing...we took a shower then ready for dinner

 Steamboat at this restaurant recommended by a friend of my sister-in-law

 nothing much to shout out about..its just normal...rm19 per head

 Went to pasar malam after the steamboat and saw this interesting stall ~ selling honey with the comb

rm2 per piece..if not mistaken
the honey is naturally sweet.....very much different from those sweet syrup...(at least i din get toothache which im very sensitive to the syrup) and not forget to mention the honey comb is very chewy...

A short walk around the pasar malam and got bought some tit-bits then it started to rain....we quickly get the car and head back to hotel for rest

The next day morning, we had complimentary breakfast at the resort Jim Thompson restaurant


very nice buffet breakfast here...the most impressive one is their roti canai~!
