K.L. & Bukit Tinggi

11th July 2009 (Saturday) marks the end of the one-year training for ccc and once again, I took an early journey at 2.45am driving to K.L. to attend the passing-out ceremony at PULAPOL. It was raining quite heavily while I was traveling from Penang and I started to get worried concerning the weather in K.L. but providentially, it was just thundering and lightning plus being windy that morning. ^^ 

After having a reunion lunch at one of the chinese restaurant in Cheras, we decided to take a trip up to Bukit Tinggi that evening. It was indeed a short journey and we managed to arrive there around 4.30pm and started to look for accommodation. However, Colmar Tropicale (at RM400 per night) was fully booked hence we have to proceed to the Berjaya Hills Golf & Country Club and rented a room at RM250. Subsequent to checking-in, we took a stroll around Colmar Tropicale to admire the replica of a collection of buildings from a north-eastern village in France dating back to the 16th Century. We took our dinner at one of the sidewalk restaurant- the “La Flamme Sidewalk Deli” where the dishes were delicious and the ambience was wonderful having live band performing sweet-sounding songs to each dining table.

The buffet breakfast at the hotel was also appetizing and the restaurant was nicely decorated. The only unfortunate incidence was that we were not able to visit to the Japanese Garden due to the strong wind which causes a mess along the road leading to the tea house. We visited the Rabbit Park and have spent a good time there with those adorable animals before getting back to K.L.

The Sepang Gold Coast is set to become the landmark of resort for the Klang Valley 2 when completed by Sepang Goldcoast Sdn Bhd (SGC), a joint venture company formed by Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad (PNSB) and Sepang Bay Sdn Bhd (Sepang Bay).

Along the sandy beach foreshore visitors will discover to their delight a variety of retail outlets, shoreline restaurants, cafes, kids hotel and theme park.
