where is this Baba jia? I should try. Oh yes i ate at Mary brown also
Baba jia is baba food. Chinese-Malay fusion (noya). it’s near the famous porridge shop.

the walkway from level two of casino towards first world indoor rides, there is a Korean fried chicken stall, doesn’t look impressive but the taste very very good. Saw another group after eating one plate ordered another 3 plates. Go with Japanese rice, nice.

They just recently closed the old casino

so, only sky casino is running now

also, they restricted all patrons to enter via level one entrance/ exit only

a lot of unsavoury characters. Mainland Chinese pestering you to change MYR currency with them
Actually whats the catch to exchange currency with the mainland chinese??

Don’t know

I don’t trust unofficial sources

the money changers are just outside the casino. Inside casino also got one official money changer. Why risk shady ones?

The official MoneyChanger at Genting had poor exchange rate.. ie. if rate is 3.4, they will offer 3.2 to 3.3, while in SG, the local money changer only less 0.03 max.

Use Youtrip, change less than S$400 (RM1300+) no ATM withdrawal fee using their Maybank ATM
(Insert Youtrip card, English, Yes, Withdrawal, Savings, )

Realize not many people explore this option~ My both trips to Genting, I stayed at mid-hill~ from there drive a short distance to Genting premium outlets and take cable car up or drive straight to Genting~

Mid hill have many eateries, it's cheaper than Genting~ many coaches would stop over for their passengers for Chinese restaurant meal~

suitable for families with kids & non gambling visitors~ also for those unable to book Genting hotels during school holiday~ I'd stayed Vista & Windmills, both ok~ :s22:

Saw few threads on biker forum.
There are syndicates monopolize the FL markets and beat up FLs who operate independently.
And also the loan sharks loan money to ladies and once cannot repay,, 逼良为娼.

Not sure its another sob-story-excuses or real stories.
Many scams.
Better stick to legal means.

I remembered last time we can do selection at hotel lobby. If still can't decide, can take their van to an apartment for more selection. Now thinking back, really not scare tio kidnap.
