Christmas Decoration at Genting Highlands

We visited Genting Highlands one week before the Christmas of 2010. My purpose was to capture some Christmas atmosphere on the Highlands. The X'mas atmosphere was Nice (even not as good as before) and I would like to share some photos of that night...

There was group of young ladies wearing the Christmas costume and performed the Christmas carols non-stop along the way! I really can felt the 'Santa Claus is coming to town!' :)

There were many Performances on the stage of the Indoor Theme Park continuously for that night!

It was really comfortable to soak ourselves in the atmosphere and listen to the Christmas Carols everywhere in the First World Plaza. :)

Another visit to Mushroom Farm Restaurant at Genting Highlands (2010)

We were advised to visit the Mushroom Farm Restaurant (N3 25.191 E101 47.848) after the dinner time to avoid the crowded situation and enjoy our meals slowly, so we had some light snacks to temporary filled up our stomach. The pick-up time will be on 9.30pm sharp at the Main Entrance of Genting Hotel.
It was a surprised when we reached the restaurant....

Great! It was ONLY three tables occupied. We placed our order immediately!

1)  Omelette

2)  Vegetables

3)  Kampung Chicken (Non-fat chicken)

4)  Steam Codfish

Codfish

The Chicken was nice and not too dry. I like the Codfish Very much because it was flaky and moist after cooked. The omelette and the vegetables were average. They cooked it just right!

We really enjoyed our Fabulous dinner especially in the cold weather! Almost 2 hours spend in the restaurant with the company of 6 bottles of Ice Cold Beer! Excellent!

The Damage : MYR200.00 for 4 adults included 6 bottles of Beer. The dinner only cost around MYR100.00 and the rest was the Beers. Affordable & Reasonable! Right?! :)

This is the restaurant we Must visit whenever happen to be here. Please write down the telephone number below (to arrange pick-up) and try it yourself when you are around Genting Highlands. Bear in mind, the van pick-up time is VERY SHARP!

Chin Swee Temple, Genting Highland

We had a simple breakfast at the hotel after check out and say : "Bye-bye!" to Genting Highland.
On the way descending from Genting, we dropped by this temple - Chin Swee Temple (N3°24.771' E101°47.311'). It's located approximately 3.7km away from the Theme Park Hotel.

"Chin Swee Temple is a Taoist temple in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia. It is fully funded by Genting Berhad, even last time during the Genting Berhad founder, Lim Goh Tong's 90th birthday, they donated RM 10 million or USD 2.5 million to the temple." (from wiki)

We parked our car beside this tower, called The Million Buddha Tower (Direct translate from chinese).

Climb up from the staircase, there are many buildings around....


The statue of Tan Sri Dato Seri (Dr) Lim Goh Tong is on your right.

The Eighteen 'Loa-Han'

Along the small hill, basically there is display (explain) of 'The Hell' by the Taoism.



There are many punishments for those who pass away and step in to Hell. Every mistake you did, you gonna pay for it after you die.
The pictures below is the end of the punishment, and you are ready to Re-born.

The last step of the 'Hell' punishment
