Kedai Kopi Genting Cafe - Penang

-
A trip to Penang wouldn't be complete without a bowl of asam laksa! Asam laksa is a spicy-sour fish based soup noodles. The main ingredients for asam laksa are shredded mackerel fish, sliced cucumber, pineapple, onions, red chilies, lettuce, mint leaves, torch ginger and shrimp paste. Some said the best asam laksa is in Ayer Itam. However, this asam laksa in Kedai Kopi Genting Cafe is good enough for me. It's delicious, full of flavour and very appetizing.

Besides asam laksa, there's a stall selling muachi outside the shop. Muachi is a type of dessert made from glutinous rice flour sprinkled with peanuts, sesame seeds and sugar. This is one of my favourite muachi. It's soft, smooth and chewy. Apart from peanuts and sugar, the muachi is topped with fried shallots as well. Best eaten when it's freshly made.

My partner loves their chicken rice as well. Rice is aromatic and most importantly the chicken is moist and succulent. I always remove chicken skin before eating my chicken rice but not this one. I love the chicken skin which is not too greasy and perfect combination with the chili sauce.

Jollibee is a Filipino multinational chain of fast food restaurants. On the day of arrival, we asked our friendly Grab driver what is the must-try food in Philippines and he mentioned Jollibee. So here we at Jollibee located inside Landmark Department Store just 4 minutes (250m) walking distance from  New World Makati Hotel . We ordered 2 pieces of chicken served with rice and drink. Rice is soft. Fried chicken is crispy, flavourful and tender. It comes together with a brown gravy which taste like KFC mashed potatoes gravy. Overall it's good.

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to leave
