Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa - Penang

-

Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa is located in Batu Ferringhi beach. We decided to stay 3 nights here (before going back to his hometown) and at the same time to unwind ourselves from work stress. Well yes... we are still very cautious about Covid-19 and tried our best to protect the people around us especially elderly persons.

My partner booked a Garden Wing Deluxe Garden view room and it's so nice of them to upgrade our room to seaview room. Basically we have our own private balcony facing the Andaman sea. Our room comes with a king size bed, 2 seater sofa, TV (bad sound system) with limited Astro channels but they have in-house movie channels, complimentary drinking water with safety seals, coffee or tea making facilities, in-room safe, slippers, iron, ironing board, bathrobe, hair dryer, mini fridge, self controlled air conditioning, ceiling fan with wall-mounted speed control, toiletries, one time complimentary fruits (longan) and daily supply of complimentary snacks.

Room is spacious, comfortable and clean. Bed is comfy and nice. Bathroom is very spacious that comes with a bathtub and shower is separated from the toilet area with its own transparent cubicle. However, there's no safety for the bathtub as the safety grip handle is unreachable when you are trying to get up from the bathtub. Even though they do provide a non-slip bath mat but it's safer to have a bathtub side rail that's reachable. Water pressure is good and most importantly water is hot enough. Apart from that, their bathroom sink comes with hot & cold water but the towel bar in front of the sink stick out too far, causing me to hunched over the sink.

If you realized, there's no working desk in this hotel room. Basically they are telling us to relax as many of us have forgotten how to truly unwind. Hotel facilities include swimming pool (with life guard on duty), ping pong table and gym. Key card is required for hotel lifts. Overall it's a pleasant stay and a great place to relax.

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

-
Image
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 lea...
