Johor bahru 11@century hotel 5 to 7 sept

Traffic was smooth and I got my fingerprint scanned. After that they put a sticker in my passport. We reached 11@century at around 1pm. This time round the room is much better on the 9th floor facing KSL city shopping mall. There is a mini fridge which I could stock up my drinks and milk. There is also free WiFi which I could use with my handphone to update and to check my email.





On our way to Holiday Plaza, we saw that our favourite wanton mee store, Ho Seng Kee, is still opened so we took our lunch there.











I changed some ringgit and bought some original TVB DVD. We went to KSL for our massage and bought my medicine.

Part of the reason why I stayed in 11@century was due to the pasar malam which operates on Monday stretching from KSL to Grand Paragon Hotel. The pasar malam was more crowded today. We ate the Penang laksa and chendol there. The laksa is thicker and it is very nice at only RM4.50. We packed some satay, otak, nasik lemak, corn and my favourite salt baked chicken back to the hotel. The salt baked chicken has this strong charcoal smell and the chicken tasted just like what I had when I was young.










I went back to KSL to get some supper and managed to catch a glimpse of their fireworks for the mid autumn festival. It was deafening but I think the crowd enjoyed it. I was more impressed with the lanterns made up of recycl materials that was on display. I ordered the coffee and milk tea from the tea garden restaurant which I would highly recommend. To my delight, I found a luk luk van opposite KSL. However the variety is not as rich as the one outside New York hotel.

Limited choice for the breakfast in the hotel. Only like the porridge. Coffee and Orange juice diluted. Went to Jusco genesis city and ate at Tang Sifu. Love their mee sua and gingseng coffee.






Bought a t-shirt for hubby and a pair of shoes for myself. After tba took a cab to plaza sentosa. Had a massage at Guchien opposite the store and I am quite impressed with their service. They even provide free wifi.




Could not wait to eat the deboned bbq chicken wing next to Kimdo restaurant. It is easily located opposite the store with a big crab signboard. We ordered a steam fish, dou miao and roasted pigeon.














Went back to KSL to check out the EXPO and a shop called Homex which is similar to our Daiso with everything sold at RM5. Ordered the set from toastbox. The toast and coffee are one of the best tasted. The luk luk van is no longer there. There is a coffeeshop further down the road selling satay, wanton mee, fried kwaitiao etc but was too full to try.
