Day 12: Genting Highlands to KL - 1 Utama Mall, Thean Hou Temple

View from Genting Highlands of the temple and the city
Our last morning in GH. We had dim sum at Restoran Good Friends. I like their Haam Sui Gok. They are filled with Bbq pork instead of the usual filling.

On the way back to KL, we stopped at Tesco to pick up some goods, i.e. sweets, and met up with Auntie S.P. Rested a bit at her condo, which has a nice view of KL city and the twin towers. Auntie S.P. and uncle took us to a good Thai place, Restoran Janwa Thai Restaurant, for lunch. The Tom Yum was good and spicy.

Back down the Genting hill...
We were dropped off at 1 Utama Mall for a couple hours. It is a large mall, although smaller than KLCC. We spent quite a while in Jusco, eyeing their vast selection of baked items and desserts. I wished I wasn't already stuffed.

Next, we spent time at my Kow Fu's place, where we will be staying overnight. We went to Tropicana Mall and ate at Sushi Tei. My first sushi while on the trip! The restauarant is conveyor belt style, although nicer than the ones back in WA, offering a menu full of items other than just sushi. The salmon and rice bowl was good.

To walk a bit after eating, we stopped by the Thean Hou Temple for 15 minutes. It was nice to visit at night without the crowds. The view of the city was also great.

Blurry, not-good-shot of busy street in KL
To end the night, we drove around KL for half an hour, circling areas like Little India and Bukit Bingtan Street. There were many tourists around here, and the nightlife was busy despite being a Tuesday night. There was one street of massage shops, where 15+ employees were on the street trying to advertise their services.

Tomorrow morning will be my last in Malaysia! Off to Thailand...
