D Eastern Hotel - Ipoh, Perak

-
Once a while we will travel to Ipoh for our favourite food. You can check out my favourite Ipoh food here. Nasi kandar and claypot glass noodles with crabs are always our "must eat food" when we travel to Ipoh. We surveyed a few hotel and we decided to stay at D Eastern Hotel.

Basic room comes with LCD TV, selected Astro channel, 2 complimentary bottles of drinking water, coffee or tea making facilities, rain and hand showers, complimentary internet access, self controlled air conditioning unit and sitting area with 2 comfortable chairs. Fast internet connection. You can watch youtube without lag. Besides that, you do not need to worry about not having enough power plugs to charge your electronic devices. In total there are 5 plugs for you to charge your electronic devices!

Shower has hot water with very good water pressure but after a long shower, it turns cold. Poor flushing toilet and toilet bowl is not sparkling clean as you can see some yellow & black stain! (I'm very particular when comes to toilet bowl.) Free parking available behind the hotel but very limited. There's a hotel staff guarding the area and double park is allowed. The friendly hotel staff will inform you if the car in front of you needs to go out.
  
Overall it was a pleasant stay. The staff are friendly and the place looks cozy. I like the ceiling wood design that reminds me of Fox Glacier Lodge in New Zealand.

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.
