The Gardens Hotel - Kuala Lumpur

-

The Gardens Hotel is attached to the Gardens Mall and Mid Valley Megamall. We decided to stay in this hotel because shopping is really convenient. We stayed 3 nights in a deluxe room that comes with a king size bed, lazy sofa chair, working desk, complimentary mineral water, coffee or tea making facilities, mini fridge, bathrobe, iron, ironing board, disposable slippers, in-room safe, toiletries, hair dryer, weighing scale which is not working and a fuzzy LCD TV with very limited TV channels (Astro channel not available).

Room is spacious but looks old and doesn't smell good. Bed is very soft and slightly bouncy. Apart from that there's an unpleasant sweaty smell on the bed. So I requested housekeeping to change the bedsheets and pillow the next day since I only found out about it at night when I was about to sleep. Yup... I slept one night on the stinky bed. It sounds gross but I don't feel good calling housekeeping middle of the night just to change the bedsheets and pillows. Besides that, I'm having a migraine attack and I just want to sleep through the night without any disturbance.

Bathroom comes with a bathtub but not sparkling clean. Spacious bathroom but design looks old. Toilet is separated from the shower area with its own transparent cubicle. Water pressure is good. However it's very difficult to control the mix of hot and cold water using the shower valves. It's either too hot or too cold. Their bathroom basin comes with a tall faucet and water splash all over when it comes to handwashing. Besides that, makeup mirror is mounted too high (at least 180cm from the ground). My height is 159cm so you can imagine how difficult it is for me to use that mirror.

Hotel facilities include swimming pool and gym. Hotel lift is operated by touch card system but our room card can access to all floors. I assume they forgot to restrict access of our room card to all floors?

Room rate - RM 1,010.71 for 4 days 3 nights excluding breakfast

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.

Hounon Ridge Farmstay is located at Kampung Himbaan Bundu Tuhan, 36 minutes drive from Kundasang town. The road heading to Bundu Tuhan is very steep and narrow. There's no street light and driving at night can be hazardous if you are not familiar with the road condition. Be particularly alert when driving and watch out for cows, chickens and stray dogs on the side of the road. There's 4 types of room available. If you are the adventurous type and not afraid of cold, you can even camp outside Hounon Ridge Farmstay. Room type: a) Standard quad room b) Standard double room without balcony c) Standard double room with balcony d) Dormitory - 10 person e) Camping We stayed in a standard double room without balcony.
