We were famished but there was no refreshment provided during the Genting Behind The Scene Tour. But lucky for us, there is See, Do&Eat Interactive Workshop in our itinerary where we get to make our own food and eat em. 😉

First, there’s a cupcake decorating session where the chef gave us a demo on how to decorate cupcakes by using cream, chocolates and fruits.

Here’s the members of the media, social media influencers and kids bloggers decorating our own cupcakes.

Here’s the cupcake that I decorated. 🙂

And this is what my son made. Yours truly thinks the boy is much more talented in the art of cake deco than her. :p Pretty neat, huh? 🙂

There was a sushi demo too. Here’s a pic of the kids and adults alike making their own sushi. 🙂 Picture credit to Cutiemonkee and my blogger friend Miera.

I did not make any sushi, but my husband did. 🙂 Here’s his before it was done. This one’s for sushi rolls. The ingredients was nori sheet, vinegered Japanese rice, pickled radish slices, cucumber slices, crab sticks, tamago, tuna flakes and creamy Japanese mayonnaise.

Here’s the final products. The sushi rolls looks delicious, no? It was delicious, I assure you. And my husband even made me an additional thing;a California Roll when I told him I wanted one. Not too shabby for a person who doesn’t really cook, I must say.

Naturally, the ‘See, Do&Eat Interactive Workshop‘ is my favourite part of the tour. :p Yes, I’m a glutton at heart, but that’s not a bad thing. I appreciate food and small details in life and these stuff happens to be one of it, and I’m sure you would appreciate it too.

Behind the Scene Tour was made possible by Resort World Genting.

Unlike the visit to Genting International showroom, our visit to the First World Laundry division was nothing glamorous or funky, but it was educational nevertheless, as while yours truly knows how important and cleanliness in the line of hotel and hospitality, I had no clue how the hotel actually keep things clean and hygienic, especially the bedsheets, duvet etc.

An overview on housekeeping and laundry division.

No. First World Hotel does not keep elves who helped them to do the laundry nor do they have fairy godmothers who clean up everything with just a wave of a wand. There was no magic involved. Just systematic system, high-tech machines and pure hardwork to keep things clean. We were shown an A-Z process of laundry in First World Hotel, from collection of dirty linens to washing, drying up, pressing and distributing it back to hotel rooms for your usage. Everything was done using giant machines and the divisions looks more like a mini factory rather than a laundry room.

These are clothes sent by the patrons of First World Hotel for dry cleaning and is now ready to be delivered back to the respective owners. Both wet and dry cleaning service is available upon request for those who are staying in First World Hotel.

The visit is indeed educational, and I believe, through this visit, you not only can learn how hotels manages their laundry but teaches you how to appreciate the unsung heroes who made your stay in hotels comfortable too.

The last time I was at Genting International Showroom was November 2013. My family and I were invited to experience Fantastica! 2 and Stars on String in Genting Resort World back then. It was indeed one of my most memorable trip as my husband ended up on the stage, dancing ballet with Fantastica! 2 performers in front of hundreds of audience, complete with a tutu. 😉 I believe, many of us who joined that trip back then still remembers his ballet performance. :p

My rather introverted husband breathes in relief this time around though. We were not there to make an impromptu performance but to find out how things works behind the stage during concerts or shows in Genting International Showroom.

Here’s one of the sound and lighting crew member, briefing us on the stage sound and lighting.

Sound engineer demonstrating the arts of sound and blasting the Genting International Showroom with funky sound.

Here’s one for the album, the kid bloggers dancing and having their 5 minutes fame on stage in Genting International Showroom, complete with lighting and music before proceeding to our next stop; the educational visit to First World Hotel Laundry division.

This behind the scene tour is pretty much insightful and I learned that behind every successful show or concert in Genting, there is a whole crew behind of it to make it successful and yes…credits should be given to the backstage crews too. Bravo and kudos for making world class entertainment possible.

The Behind the Scene Tour was made possible by Genting Resort World.

After having a blast in the Ice Age Adventure and a fill in the Coffee Terrace we Proceed to Behind The Scene Tour where there will be 4 stops, which is; The Visitor’s Galleria, The Genting International Showroom, First World Hotel Laundry and See, Do& Eat Workshop. I will be writing about all of these stops individually as each and every one of it is pretty educational and interesting.

Our first stop was the Visitor’s Galleria. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by a tour guide who will lead us throughout the tour and were given a goodie bag containing a bottle of mineral water and a set of Genting Resort World stationary set, which will be pretty useful if you are a student or a member of the media who joined this tour as you will need to jot down some notes if you are to really write a good article about the Behind the Scene Tour.

The tour is mainly aimed to educate the public on how things works behind the scene in Resort World Genting, but our first stop in the Visitor’s Galleria, is pretty much a tribute to the founder of Genting Resort World, the late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong.

In the Visitor’s Galleria we were briefed about the life of the late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong and his ultimate masterpiece; Genting Resort World. The story is very extensive but to cut the long story short, the late Tan Sri hailed from China and migrated to Malaya,( now Malaysia) and works as a carpenter before starting to delve into the world of constructions.

Hall of fame- the late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong’s achievements is all on display here, ranging from trophies to momentous from VIPs from all over the world.

The members of the media were also given an overview of the entire Genting and their future plans, the first Fox World theme park in the world, which is currently in progress and expected to be completely done and open to public by the end of 2016.

This tour may be boring to some and small children may find it a bit mind boggling, but to aspiring adults who wants to be a self-make billionaire, the story of how the late Tan Sri Lim Go Tong is nothing but pure inspiration.

Our next stop is the Genting International Showroom, where the visitors will be given a glimpse on how things works behind the scene of all those world class show and concert in the showroom.

Wait up for my next post, yea. 🙂

This trip was made possible by Resort World Genting.

So, Pekan is a very quiet town. What’s interesting there you ask me? Well, there is a few notable places that you can visit. One of it is this. Muzium Sultan Abu Bakar.

Adopting the concept of open-air museum, Sultan Abu Bakar Museum, the town is one of the must-visit locations Pekan.

Visitors will be fascinated with green grass with a replica of the four tails ‘horse’ is formed from driftwood, model fighter jets, armored vehicles, replicas Malay warrior made ​​of steel and egrets ‘rest’ in the middle of the pond. The Museum was originally built in 1888 and used as the first residence of the British Resident in Pahang. The building was also used as the headquarters of the Japanese army during the Second World War and subsequently made ​​the late Sultan Abu Bakar Palace. In 1976, the palace was turned into a museum after the Royal family moved to a new palace. There are five main galleries Kota Beram Palace, Balairong Series, Inderapura, Central Tun Teja and Pekan town with various historical materials. Looked to the gallery Kota Beram Palace, visitors can see the early history and how the late Sultan of Pahang in the modern era, the late Sultan Abu Bakar exploring the use of elephants and boat people.

Inderapura Gallery is featuring Aboriginal model of driftwood and we are amazed to see the world showcasing archaeological fragments found Pontian boat over 15,000 years ago in the upstream of Sungai Pontian and ceramics from the trading ship, Royal Nan Hai, which sank in 1946 and was only found in 1995 the Royal Gallery on the first floor showcases the currency that was used before, galleries polo and hunting activities.

I do not have much pictures on that, but here’s the info you would need should you be interested to visit:

Visiting hours every day except Monday from 9.30 am to 5 pm
Entrance fees to the people of Pahang RM4, RM5 for domestic tourists and foreign tourists RM16

Have you been to Pekan? It is a town located about 45 kilometers from Kuantan, Pahang. Interestingly about the town, it is not only the Royal Town of Pahang but it is also the birthplace of the sixth Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato ‘Seri Najib Tun Razak. More from the town is also a city that is home to the country’s automotive vehicle assembly factories world-renowned brands such as Mercedes Benz.

According to the stories of the elders and the locals here, the town got its name from a type of flower called ‘Bunga Pekan’. It was believed that the Pahang River was covered by flowers. But there is another story that made more sense, which is where it says the town got its name from the ‘pekan’ itself. ‘Pekan’ means small town, market or place where people buy and sell. On the banks of the Pahang River community placements are often made ​​long time ago. So the trade would be done there.
