Simpang Mengayau Chalet - Kudat, Sabah

-
Simpang Mengayau Chalet is just 4 minutes walk from the Tip of Borneo. This is the closest chalet to the Tip of Borneo. There's 3 types of room - family house consist of 2 queen size bed, grouping house / couple room - one house with either 3 rooms or 4 rooms and dorm. We stayed in a couple room consists of 2 single beds, self controlled air-conditioning, TV which is not working (fuzzy channel) and coffee or tea making facilities. 

The condition of the room was simple and old with a musty smell. The bed was soft enough to allow you to sink into it. There's no soap and shampoo in the bathroom and we have to request it from the housekeeping. Besides that, drinking water is not provided. Basically, you have to either boil or bring your own drinking water there. Apart from that, toilet does not flush properly. Bathroom comes with cold or hot water and water pressure was great. However, temperature isn't hot enough unless you reduce the water pressure.

Our room is facing sea view but there's no phone coverage and internet access. We can only get a phone coverage at the Cafeteria area. Well, look on the bright side. We tend to spend most of our time online, checking our phone or Facebook, Watsapp and ignoring the loved one sitting right next to us. So, it's time to reclaim your real life! Time to put your smartphone away and spend some precious time with the person sitting next to you!

(Check in time: 2pm, check out time 11am)

(Our room rate: RM 150 per night including breakfast for 2 person)

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
