Birthday trip to KSL& Legoland- KSL Hotel & Mall

 We arrived at KSL hotel at around 7pm, went to get our luggage from our car and proceed to check in. Checking in was relatively easy since I had booked online and only need to provide 1 passport for them to verify.

Counter staff was polite and nice and the best thing is we get free wifi haha. This is essential for most Singaporeans youngsters I think. I requested for rooms to be on the same level during check in but since there is a high occupancy rate and we checked in late, they couldn't promise anything except for telling me they will try their very best.

 Since the difference is about MYR 30, I booked the deluxe room over superior room hoping for a more comfortable stay. They were unable to locate a double and twin room on the same floor and we settled for 2 twin room which comes with a queen and single bed. Not a problem since we can still squeeze into the queen bed though a king would be much better.

Shower

 What was disappointing for Mr Love is he is expecting a bathtub in the pricer deluxe room but there isn't 1. Nothing we can do.

I think the deluxe rooms are located at the upper level while superior rooms at the lower level. We were given rooms on the 25th floor which overlook the whole Johor Bahru city.

The houses here are single storey, there isn't much of an issue even your room is on the lower floor, you still get to see the whole city.

Full of houses

 We settled in quickly and proceed to find dinner. Decided to go for Seoul garden in the mall. Had wanted to try the hotel buffet dinner @ MYR 60/pax but the food doesn't look appealing to Piggy bro after he went in to walk 1 round and we sticked to our original idea.

Given our conversion rate, food here is much cheaper as compared to home. Total bill for 3 buffet dinner at Seoul Garden set us back by MYR140 which bro picks up the tab since it my birthday. Yeah:)

We wolfed down the food greedily as it was 8pm by the time we started eating. Piggy bro went for a haircut after dinner while Mr Love and I took a walk around the mall after the super fillinf dinner.

All retreat back to our rooms by 9pm and we couldn't get our ass up to go down for the 10.50pm movie we initially wanted to catch.

We can see part of Singapore from our room

 Breakfast the next day was with the hotel which costs MYR41/pax. It was expensive alright but initially we were bringing mummy along, I don't want to risk having no breakfast for her as it would make her cranky.

End up she didnt come with us due to passing away of her god-pa.

Breakfast voucher

 Told bro that we would sleep till at least 9am the next day and he can go ahead with breakie if he wakes up earlier.

Smoked beef and hashbrowns

 But he whatsapp me at 8.30am telling me to hurry up since the restaurant is crowded and we wouldn't get a seat that fast if he leaves. So we washed up and rushed down to find him sitting there guarding our table with a boring look. Haha Thank god for him, else I think we will need queue for at leats half an hour to get in.

Omelettes

 The food served here cannot be considered as international spread. Instead, it has more to a Malaysia flavour. Was lucky that we have similar cuisines and we tucked in happily.

Pratas

 Piggy bro was not impressed with the buffet breakfast and excused himself a while later. I think he would prefer the coffee shops outside haha. But I didn't know there are coffeeshops around the hotel. Now that I knew, I would not pay for their buffet breakie if I ever stay here again.

Cereals

 Unlike piggy bro, Mr Love and I tried nearly everything they have to offer here till we are full. Why waste our 41 bucks? It was actually not worth for the price we paid but at least we knew already.

Porridge

 We decided to laze in the room till check out time at 12noon. Its a gloomy morning and I am glad for the sun yesterday since we can still get to try all the rides. If it is raining, we would have wasted the trip.

I saw this amazing phenomenon of the rain slowly moving towards our direction. The area far out is raining already but our area is still dry. Then as the clouds moved, the rain starts to approach slowly till it started to rain outside. How cool is that?

Can see the rain approaching?

 We went to checked out at 11.30am after a nap since we didn't want to be caught in the queue.

Went for lunch at KSL mall before going home.

Corn shaved ice

Bubble tea

There are lots of nails saloon and hair saloon here though the prices varies from shop to shop. I was tempted to try but the guys did not have the patience to wait for me. Hehe

It was overall an enjoyable trip, having to finally visit Legoland. Was talking about visiting ever since it open. But I am glad we did it only now since my colleague and younger bro told us that it was super crowded when they visited during the initial opening stage. Also. some of the attractions are opened at a later date so they didn't get to try some of the rides we took.

I reckon that we will not be visiting Legoland anytime soon but perhaps we would can have another short stay at KSL in near future if we wanna get a break from Singapore.
