Eastin Hotel - Kuala Lumpur

-
Eastin Hotel is just a short walk from the Phileo Damansara MRT station. We stayed one night in a deluxe king room, which featured a king-size bed, a work desk, an LCD TV with a limited selection of channels, an in-room safe, two pairs of disposable slippers, an iron, a wall-mounted hair dryer, complimentary Wi-Fi, two complimentary bottles of drinking water, coffee or tea-making facilities, a mini fridge, toiletries and self-controlled air conditioning.

We parked our car at Basement 1 and took the lift up to the first floor for check-in. The process was quick and hassle-free since there were no other guests around. Our room was located on the highest floor (18th floor) and accessing it via the lift required a room key card.

Our deluxe king room was spacious, but it clearly showed signs of age. The furniture appeared outdated, and the sliding door of the cupboard was broken and wouldn't slide. The TV offered only a limited number of channels, and strangely, it displayed the date as 10th July 1970. When I took out my camera to take shots, it changed back to 8th April 2025! The bed was comfortable, but the air conditioning took a while to cool down the room. Thankfully, it worked better by nighttime and kept the room pleasant for sleeping.

The bathroom came with a bathtub, but unfortunately it wasn't as clean as expected. The biggest issue was the shower. The water temperature kept fluctuating wildly from scalding hot to freezing cold, making it impossible to enjoy a proper shower. It was one of the most frustrating shower experiences I've had in a hotel.

The hotel is currently undergoing renovations and they placed us on the top floor, which was unaffected. The hotel allowed us to extend our checkout to 1pm. Parking was RM 3 per exit, and you will need to validate your ticket at the front desk before leaving. The hotel has a gym, a tennis court and a swimming pool (no lifeguard on duty). Overall, the shower contributed to a rather uncomfortable stay.

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 lea...

Guangzhou - Day 2 (Canton Fair Complex - Beijing Road)

I woke up early in the morning with a swollen leg, but luckily it is still not that painful when I walk. I couldn't go back to sleep since there's a mosquito that keeps buzzing in my ear. It seems that the pesky insect didn't bother my partner as much as it did me. Anyway, we left our hotel around 10am to look for food. Whenever we travel, I will prepare a list of food itineraries. However, I do not have a complete list this time since I am unable to read Chinese characters. There is very limited information available online in English. There are a few famous restaurants on my list, but I'm not sure if the addresses are correct. So, we asked the hotel front desk about the nearest Guangzhou Restaurant. She is quite helpful in assisting us with the web searches. Basically, the nearest Guangzhou Restaurant is just one station away from our hotel. So we took the metro from Guangzhou East Railway Station to Tianhe Sports Center (¥ 2 per person) exit A to Tiyu Donglu. Since G...

The Palm Suite @ Tanjung Tokong - Penang

-
Image
The Palm Suite is located in Tanjung Tokong Penang, just within walking distance of McDonald's and Starbucks. There are ten of us, and his sister-in-law rented five suites. The room looks modern, and the bathroom comes with a hot tub. However, the hot tub is covered with grime. It is kind of gross because the tub is greasy too. There is a small stool for you to step up before going into the tub. I find it quite dangerous, as the stool can easily flip over, and there is no handle to hold while climbing into the hot tub.  The water pressure is good, and the water is hot enough. The bathroom features a sliding door with no lock. However, opening the bathroom sliding door will close the open wardrobe. If you do not close the in-room safe box door or your luggage protrudes from the closet, the sliding door will not open. My partner forgot to close the in-room safe box door, which left me stranded in the bathroom twice. Luckily he's in the room, or else I'll be spending several h...
