Dinner at Restoran Pekin at Taman Sentosa.

Plenty of "Free parking" at the open space next to the restaurant but advised by the car attendant to give him a tip Advice to give tips after parking and not before, there are several attendants walking around..



Hybrid Grouper 1.3kg RM179.40
Meat stir fried, soft tender
The rest deep fried.
Delicious.

Pipa duck , half RM38
Abit too dry. ( Sutera branch has Irish duck options, Taman Sentosa branch dun have .. )

Crab roe Sharks fin soup RM30 per bowl, minimum order 2 bowls

Singapore Bee Hoon - but not the cantonese version where they add abit of curry powder flavor.
Still good, stronk wok hey. RM15

Sutera even more parking.
The fish look good

i think this apply for coming from countries other than malaysia.

i recall malaysia land custom <48hr is $70 or something. but cannot find

I think it’s for all travellers coming back SG.

 

[Andrew833]

Just a reminder that an overnight stay isn't 48 hours hor. Stay at least 2 nights.

Yaho, I keep thinking I overnight can buy $500. Anyway I didn’t buy that much but at least RM2-300 bah.

How about those clean 24hr KTV? Anyone tried? Inside got toilet?

Think hardly saw any 24hr health center like those in China.

JB sentral dont even have 24 hr fast food restaurants.

JB is famous of KTV even in the 90s. I see many KTV around but didn’t go in before.
You can google. I think Mount Austin at least 2.

It is for all countries. However if coming from Malaysia ( unlike other countries ) , there is no duty free concession for alcohol.

There was a couple that went on news about getting a pair of shoes in JPO sometime ago, their combined tax relief allowed them to bring the shoe back untaxed.

The idea of combined tax relief is ? contentious, by right should be individual tax relief.

I think depend on officer, by right should be individual.
