Moxy Kuala Lumpur Chinatown - Kuala Lumpur

-
Moxy Kuala Lumpur Chinatown is just a short walk from Chinatown, Pasar Seni and Masjid Jamek LRT station, making it a convenient and well-connected place to stay. The hotel has a modern, youthful vibe with its bold design, neon lights and plenty of Instagrammable corners that are perfect for capturing your travel moments.

Our initial plan was to stay at the hotel for three nights, mainly because of its strategic location. With the Masjid Jamek LRT station just a short walk away, it was super convenient for us to hop on the train and head to Bukit Jalil station to attend Jacky Cheung's concert at Axiata Arena. The easy access to public transport made it the perfect spot, not only for exploring the city but also for getting to the concert without the hassle of traffic or parking.

We arrived at the hotel around 2.30am, and luckily, the check-in process was smooth and easy. Our room was on the 16th floor and had a modern, minimalist vibe that reminded me of Hotel Papa Whale in Taipei. The room was compact and the bed was a bit on the smaller side but surprisingly comfortable. The air-conditioning worked well and kept the room nice and cool throughout our stay. Plus, you need a key card to access your floor, which adds a nice touch of security.

The bathroom had a sleek design, but there was nowhere to hang towels or clothes. So we had to hang them outside on the row of hooks provided. The basin was located outside the bathroom, and the shower pressure was decent. A nice touch was the mangosteen-scented shower gel, which smelled really pleasant. The room only came with two glass bottles of drinking water, so it's a good idea to bring your own bottle or use the cups provided. One downside was the noise. Even around 3am, I could still hear loud music coming from a nearby pub.

The hotel has a coin laundry on level 8, a swimming pool and gym on level 9. At check-in, we received two welcome drink vouchers that can be redeemed at Bar Moxy, which is located on level 9. The drink options were quite interesting. You can choose either Call it Hijau (a mix of pandan, mint, lemongrass syrup, cucumber, mint, lemon juice and soda water), Miss Moxy (lychee puree, rosemary syrup, lemon juice, butterfly pea and soda water), Spice Street (grapefruit juice, lime juice, sugar syrup, green tea and grenadine), as well as coffee, tea or soft drinks.

Our stay included two complimentary buffet breakfasts, available from 6am to 10.30am. Since we arrived in the early hours of the morning, we were way too tired to get up in time. So we ended up skipping breakfast. Overall, our stay at Moxy Kuala Lumpur Chinatown had its ups and downs. The location was super convenient, and the modern vibe of the place was nice. However, the room was on the small side and noise from nearby bars made it less comfortable than expected.

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...

Hong Kong (III) - Day 1 (Golden Bauhinia Square - Hong Kong Art Centre)

Hokkaido has always been on our travel bucket list, and now we are finally going. Since there is no direct flight from Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) to New Chitose Airport (CTS), we decided to make a stop in Hong Kong for two nights. We purchased a return ticket from KKIA to HKIA with Air Asia (RM 972.71 per person) and a return ticket from HKIA to CTS with Cathay Pacific (RM 3,019.88 per person). We were notified the night before that our flight would be delayed for two hours. So we left home at 9.15am via Grab (Grab fare - RM 14). When we arrived at the airport, we found out that the flight had been delayed for another 30 minutes. Since we had plenty of time, we decided to relax and enjoy breakfast at McDonald's. I ordered porridge, while my partner had the sausage and scrambled egg sandwich with hash brown and iced Milo. I didn't enjoy my breakfast much because the porridge was too thick and the shredded chicken didn't taste very fresh. (Total bill - RM 23.6...
