Hotel Seri Malaysia - Penang

-
Hotel Seri Malaysia is located in Bayan Baru area of Penang, just 8 minutes drive (4.6 km) from Penang International Airport. Since we arrived at Penang International Airport around 1.30am and we just need a place to sleep for the night, we decided to stay in this hotel. We checked in at 2am and opt for a downstairs room because upper floor only accessible by stairs.

We stayed in a superior queen room comes with a double bed, self controlled air conditioning, flat-screen TV, iron, ironing board, praying mat, basic toiletries (shampoo & bath gel), hot/cold shower, complimentary 2 bottles of drinking water and coffee or tea making facilities. Basic room with thin blanket and there's only one access card per room. My partner went out for a quick late night supper and basically I have to wait for him to come back before I can sleep.

I'm quite particular when it comes to bathroom. So, a hotel with a stained toilet bowl is a big turn off for me. Apart from that, there's an unpleasant smell coming out of the sink. I almost gagged when brushing my teeth. I always enjoy a long hot shower but sadly water here isn't hot enough unless you reduce the water pressure.

Our stay in Hotel Seri Malaysia includes breakfast for 2 person. Buffet style breakfast but choices are very limited. The hotel includes an indoor swimming pool, opening hours from 8.30am to 7pm.

Check in time: 3pm
Check out time: before 12pm

(Room rate: RM 100 including breakfast for 2 person)

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.
