Another quick getaway in Johor. This time round we were given the 9th floor and I must say I missed the view from the high floor. I am very impressed with the free high speed internet access and the free items in the mini bar (6 cans of drinks, 2 mineral water and a pack of banana chips). Of course the room rate (RM300++) is higher than what we paid for New York hotel (RM180) but I supposed it is worth it with all the complimentary. The hotel's service is good but the room needs an upgrade badly. The safe was not working because the battery was weak. Three lights not working - the maintenance managed to replace the bulb for the bed light but not for the one at writing desk. At the end he brought in a standing lamp. I like the idea of a separate standing shower area next to the bathtub as well as the smell of the body wash and shampoo as well as the body lotion and conditioner. However quite disappointed that they do not have extra blanket and pillows.
We had our lunch at a coffee shop 好比 famous for herbal duck after I got my medicine from the pharmacy in Merlin tower. You must really try the herbal duck and the chestnut sugarcane drink in this shop - heavenly. 
Morning buffet breakfast in the hotel. The spread is better than New York Hotel and the nasi lemak and the fried mee siam are highly recommended.

After checking into the hotel, we got a cab to pelangi leisure mall as I heard there are quite a number of massage centre there. Found this Thong Yee Thong 唐醫堂and had my 2hr massage including 拔罐(cupping technique used in traditional Chinese medicine). The charges are quite reasonable - RM118 for 2 hr massage and RM28 for 40min foot reflexology.
It seemed that it rained when we were having our massage. We were so lucky because when we took the cab to Merlin tower, the rain had stopped. The street hawkers lined the street next to Merlin tower and the rich aroma filled the air. We ordered a BBQ stingray, fried kuay tiao and fried oyster omlette. Simply delicious. We packed chicken wings, satay, goreng pisang and the Malay pancakes back to the hotel for supper!
