My trip mate's Malaysia friend brought us out for breakfast again! It was a very local place with lots of stalls selling a variety of food - like wan tan mee, prawn mee, char kway teow, fried fritters, fried Yong Tau Foo, etc.
After a long day yesterday, we were fairly tired this morning. While munching away, we totally forgot photos! *opps!* But I did save the location on my GPS. :p
Returning to the hotel, we headed for a spot of shopping at Jusco while fellow trip mate's daughter had a go at the ice skating ring! While at Jusco, we grabbed a fair bit of tidbits in anticipation of lesser facilities at Lotus Desaru.
SUNWAY LAGOON!
Shortly after noon, we purchased the tickets into the theme park. The theme park consist of 5 areas: water park, amusement park, wildlife park, extreme park & scream park. The tickets sold were per-day with no re-entry and you have to choose 3parks (water, amusement & wildlife - more for family w young kiddos) or 5parks (good for teenages or grown ups who want some trill!).
The 3 park tickets were RM80 & RM64 for adults and kids respectively. The tickets were given out in a form of a wrist band which will add a $10 refundable deposit to the ticket cost.
Later, hubby realized we had used the "side entrance" to enter which is directly to the water area. The water amusement is split into two. One side with sand (less crowded) and the other side with loud music (lots of teenages). The crowded side features a long water slide where u need to sit on those float to come down (imagine Big Splash?).
Anyway little gal prefers the less crowded side and she had a go on the blue slide (taking in lots of water *opps!)
After some 2 hrs of water play, we decided it was time to head out to the "wildlife park". Whilst small, it features quite some unique animals like the black panther, squirrels and a REALLY HUGE SNAKE. The close interaction with some feather friends like ducks and an entire peacock family was facinating (was told ita peacock, peahen & peachicks. REALLY?). Most of their exhibits could be found in the Singapore zoo. Terrain wise,there were lots of staircases and steep slopes which I found quite hard to manouver with a pram.
At about 430pm, we decided to get out quickly so the little gal could catch some nap. While on the way out, I spotted the amusement area! Already paid for the rides, so asked if the little gal was game to take a few simple rides. She said yes and off daddy went with her. See how bright her smiles were despite the "tiredness". :p
Review: Generally, one full day is ok. But no re-entry is really stretching it if your tod needs a nap. Due to the strict "no outside food & drinks" policy, you can't even bring in a mineral water bottle/hotel complimentary drinks/soft drinks & all food and snacks. Essentially forcing you to buy stuff when inside. *roll eyes*
Dinner @ Pyramid shopping centre - Dragon-i (龙的传人)
Decided to settle dinner at this restaurant that my trip mate said they tried before previously. The menu was the likes of Din-Tai-Feng & Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao La Mian Restaurant.
We ordered their speciality -上海小笼包. The other items we ordered were seafood fried rice, fried pork rib la mian, beef brisket la mian, stir fried four seasons bean, sze chuan hot & sour soup. Food generally was good, and we especially love the 上海小笼包 (little gal loved the soup in the dumpling).
We also ordered cold desserts - mango sago , 龟苓膏 and aloe vera osmatus. Desserts were not only served 30 mins late, it was totally forgettable!!! Service was quite terrible- missing our order, serving staff who could not understand English/Chinese, dirty empty plates cluttered the entire table during the meal! *tsk tsk!* luckily food was still ok.
After dinner activity: Shopping!!!
A spot of retail never disappoints. I got a pair of shorts and little gal has new hairclips from FOS!!! Pyramid Shopping Centre offers a large variety with anchor tenants like Jusco and Parkson. On the lowest floor, there is also a mini amusement park which offers ferris wheel rides, 碰碰车 & others. It's really nice to hang out there ( v comfy for SIngaporeans to c familiar brands like Cold Storage, Pet Lovers centre, Optical 88, etc!
