Hotel Neo +, Penang

-
It's time for another business trip to Penang! This round since we have our own transportation, hotel location was not an issue for us. We enjoyed trying different hotels and this time we decided to stay at Hotel Neo +. Located in the heart of Penang and 100% smoke free hotel, this hotel is within 7 minutes walking distance to Komtar tower, one of the most prominent landmarks in Penang.

We stayed in a standard room comes with a 2 single beds, LED TV (limited TV channel - local channels, Euronews, travel channel, Hypp sports, Astro Super Sports, Nick Jr, Now Jelli, RTL CBS Entertainment and Universal Channel), in room safe box, mini fridge, hair dryer, study table, wardrobe, self controlled air conditioning, bedroom slippers, free internet access, 2 complimentary bottles of drinking water, coffee and tea making facilities, bathroom with hot/cold shower and wall mounted 3 in 1 shampoo dispenser. Iron and ironing board only available upon request.

The room and bathroom were dimly lit, TV was fuzzy, internet speed was slow, there's stain on the ceiling wall, toilet bowl and bedside table. Water pressure was strong and water was hot but slow drainage caused minor flooding in the bathroom when taking a shower. Small room and luckily the bed sheets and pillows looked clean. Overall it wasn't a pleasant stay.

Hotel facilities include a rooftop swimming pool and gymnasium. You need to have the room key card to gain access into the gym. Children under the age of 18 are not permitted in the gym. Plenty of free parking available.

Philippines - Day 3 (Manila Chinatown - Intramuros - SM Mall of Asia)

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. Jollibee 2 pieces of fried chicken, rice and drink - PHP 173 Address: Jollibee Landmark Department Store, Ayala Center, Makati City, Philippines After we had our brunch, we took a Grab car from Landmark Department Store to Ongpin Street located in Manila Chinatown (Cost: PHP 344) The journey took us approximately 45 minutes.

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
