THE WARM AND FILLING STUFF

The weather in Genting Highlands can be quite unpreditable. Some days it’s nice and cool, and sometimes it’s chilled to the bones. The lowest temperature that I experienced in Genting before was 12’c. It was really cold, wet and windy. If you are looking for something to instantly warm your tummy, there’s two eateries that you might wanna drop by; I Love Yoo! And DOME Cafe.

I love Yoo! Level 4 T2C-02B

I Love Yoo! is an outlet that is specialized in selling Youtiao and porridge.

Boat noodles originates from the floating market if Ayuthaya in Thailand. On the rivers, locals will sell goods from their boats, including boat noodles. Noodles are usually served in large bowls, but it is inconvenient to do so on the boat, hence, smaller servings. And Boat Noodles maintained the traditional way of serving boat noodles; in small bite sized portion.

image

Here’s some of their highlights; Beef Pathumthani Rice Noodles, Beef Ayutthaya Rice Noodles, Beef Prosperity Yum, Chicken Pathumthani Rice Noodles, Chicken Ayuthaya Rice Noodles, Chicken Prosperity Yum, Fried Wanton Skin and Fried Chicken Skin. Their not to be missed drinks includes;

Cha Manao Yen.

I would recommend you to bring some friends and order bowls and bowls of the noodles to indulge on. They are dangerously addictive. Plus, stacking up the empty bowls after you finished slurping the noodles up is strangely satisfying.

The ever popular Korean fried chicken is usually fried to golden brown and coated with a variety of sauces, spicy or otherwise. At Nene Chicken, their chicken went through a batter-dip process where oil does not seep into the chicken meat, hence keeping the meat juicy and the batter crispy.

THE HEALTHY, NO NONSENSE STUFF

Let’s face it. When it comes to food, we tend to indulge and by end of the meal, we tend to feel guilty or worry about our expanding waistline.

Here’s suggesting two outlet that will please both your conscience and your gym trainer; BMS Organics and Tian Ma Bird Nest.

Those who detest vegetables in their means may have the perception that vegetarian food would be plainly green and uninteresting and the most you will get is a plate of stir fried veggies. But here’s where you are wrong.

While it is true that BMS Organics does not serve meat, but their meals are just equally good, if not better than their non vegetarian counterparts.

Madame Waffles Level 1 T2-40

As the name suggest, Madame Waffles is an expert in making deliciously tempting waffles.

image

Madame Waffles kioks keeps everything simple. What they are offering are mostly waffles that can be grab and go, but dining in would not be an issue as there’s plenty of table and chairs for you to have you waffles at.

image

Apart from serving sweet waffles topped with ice creams, they also have this; Durian Crepe. This is still fairly new and would require you to wait about 10 minutes for it to be prepared for you upon ordering, but it’s definitely worth the wait as the Durian Crepe is out of this world and could bring you to heaven and back. I wouldn’t recommend you to bring this to your hotel room and eat it, tho. As it is filled with fresh durian flesh, it is naturally pungent and the smell could be quite unpleasant in a closed room.
