Where do u go to so early ; as shopping malls come alive at 10am++?

I go to this, few months ago opened, CJ Teochew Fishball Noodle 川记潮州鱼圆粉, behind KSL & opposite PMX.

The food there is nothing special, therefore most times I'm the only customer.

I go there because of the above reasons + it has air conditioning. I always sit at the same table watching actions on the street outside... peaceful.

The shop belongs to a Chinese man but I've not seen him before. The shop's crews are all MMR (Myanmar) - from the cooks to the waitress.

The waitress is so bored with seeing me every week that to make her life more exciting I no longer select breakfast for myself. Instead I challenged her to surprise me with whatever from the menu. She's game.

I don't recommend this place, boring, quiet, nothing to shout about food...please stay away.

I was looking at CW7L route which says can transfer to other CW buses (top page banner) : https://www.causewaylink.com.my/routes-schedules/?view=route&no=CW7L

btw, the cw bus, when I tap in, they will print a fare ticket ?

No ticket for payment via ManjaLink card.

See Aaagogo's post about fare charges.

If this hotel is what I think it is, then it is best not to go there.

This hotel if is next to the local condo name Nusa Heights, there stay many many foreign workers.
Gelang patah has many factories and so many foreigner workers are staying in the vicinity

Not advisable to stay there.
My ex medini tenant worked in Gelang patah factory and stayed at Nusa heights condo kenna burglarized a few times.

He moved to lease 1medini n never looked back

not that one, this one is the one near KSL, the one with the spa. just surprised the room at that price, considering the hotel is quite old already.

Btw JB experts, I saw many mooncake stalls set up at Aeon Bukit Indah... Not sure what brand to go for.

I randomly bought one KLT mooncake to try and oh my goodness, so fresh and good. White lotus paste with 2 yolks and around 23RM ! Packaging looks terrible but it was the only one that is "sugar free" , however I just realised they meant "cane sugar free" and it contains maltose instead. Still damn delicious anyway.

Do you have any brand recommendation ? I prefer the traditional white lotus with egg yolks, not those quirky flavours. Lol What are your favourite brands ?

if you go kluang, can buy shanghai mooncake at yuen fatt and several other shops

You forgot to tell them have to queue and if too late, face OOS situation. Very popular with aunty groups.

For north side ( woodlands ) there is a 24hr eatery 佳香点心茶楼 Jiah Xiang Dim Sum at Sentosa.

Can see sunrise

If you are super early wee morning, there are a few hourly rate inns/hotels nearby, Grand Sentosa hotel * might * be the most "decent" 3 star at that area but pls lower ur expectations.

Can share which are the hourly rate inns and hotels ? Grand sentosa hotel ? I just checked and looks like daily rates charge, how do you get the daily rate ? Walk in to ask ?
