Was in Genting recently and spotted this new flavour which for a durian fan is like a dream come true. So of course, I bought one cup to try. Not cheap, costed me RM$7.60 which equates to around S$3.00. Nevertheless, I still have to try it.

Review:
It is probably the worst McFlurry I’ve ever tasted. The durian sauce tasted so chemical, they should have used puree instead. At the same time, there was hardly any durian taste in it. The crunchy stuff is hard, totally don’t value add to the overall product. I’d rather they add cornflakes instead. Somehow I believe these decisions to launch such a product have not gone through any food consultancy, really bad call and a waste of my money. It was so bad, I took 2 scoops and left the cup there. Really Pui Chao Nua…
I got a message from my friend recently and he was asking about my previous post on the World Club Room at Genting Highlands (http://wp.me/p2BhOI-4T). I answered his questions and recommended him the place. He thought I was getting paid for all my write ups on sleepwithroy and eatwithroy.com…
No no no, I have not been getting paid for any write ups nor any ads on my sites to date since I started in 2009 (maybe later I might to earn some passive income!) I do get invitations to write up on places and restaurants and usually I would mention if I was invited or not on the first paragraph. And even if I am invited for such events, I would write accordingly to my taste buds or what I see and witness. Because to me, if you dare to do a media invite, you should be ready for criticisms especially the constructive ones for you to do corrective actions to your menu or hotel.
So there you have it, hope I have cleared the air. Thank you for the high readership so far guys, it’s been climbing like mad especially after the 100k mark! You guys are awesome!
Yeah I’m on a roll writing Genting food ‘cos I really need to clear all the food that I reckon worthy (or not!) in my backlogs. This foodcourt place has been there for the longest time, originally opened for the bus and taxi drivers but now more people are actually eating there now. Recently renovated, this foodcourt now is a lot nicer than what it was previously. Along with the new renovation, the price of the food also escalated a lot. Nevertheless it’s prolly one of the cheapest places to eat when you’re in Genting Highlands. Check out the reviews below:
The foodcourtJumbo meat paus, lor mai gai and other dim sum steamerJumbo Pork Pau RM$5 – Huge 12cm in diameter and filled with pork, turnip and a segment of hard boiled egg.See the amount of pork fillings inside the pau.Chee Cheong Fun RM$9 – My mum’s all time favorite. Malaysian’s chee cheong fun comes with yong tau foo on top, which makes it more tasty, Prices climbed a lot since.Spare Rib King – Pretty well done, love it.Salted Fish Fried Rice – If you like salted fish like I do, order this! Crispy and fragrant pieces of fish on top, awesome.Hor fun – Quite small plate but tasted ok.Bill for Tse Char, pau and coffee.

Have been really busy these few days and I’ve decided to write some of my backlogs. This blog post is to let my readers here know what I’ve experienced at this restaurant. I’ve never been to this restaurant before hence would like to try it since it looks pretty decent from the outside. My mum and I got in, found a nice table beside the window overlooking the clouds, and ordered our dinner. I ordered some of their specialties to try their food and if it’s really that good. Check out my comments below:
The restaurantDry Bak Kut Teh – Nothing special and pork got a little smell…Crispy Beancurd – Mix of beancurd and maybe some prawn meat in it. See the color difference on the plate, the darker ones are obviously an ‘older’ batch and it tasted like that.Peranakan Mixed Veg – This is really disappointing and it was bland despite the color. It was so bad that I had to use the soy sauce dip to strengthen the taste. Skip!My savior soy sauceBill – Not very ex but for crap food, it is.
