Continuing our Sunway package.
Din Tai Fung was my pick for dinner. (Dinner would have been sushi if up to the kids!) It has been years since my last visit. Decided to stick to pork chop with fried rice, which is what I order every visit.
This is nice actually
The next morning... due to Covid, breakfast was prepacked. The process was fuss-free. Take the lift to the cafe, walk a few steps to the staff who will note down your meal and drink choice. Then walk over to the food station where more staff grab the correct trays out of the warmer and package them in a carrier bag. Another few steps to the drinks station and then back to the lift and room. It's rather nice eating in the comfort of the room. Can eat in pyjamas, watching TV with one leg up... haha. Don't have to wait for kids to finish or having to take them to wash hands either.
Mmmm
The package included 'vouchers for Sunway Pyramid'. I thought these would be the usual 10%-15% off vouchers that I wouldn't have use for, but they were all for free - Tiger Sugar boba tea, Hazukido croissants, ice-skating, archery, bowling. This package is DEFINITELY value for money!
Having boba tea like a boss
Next up was archery. JE got her arrows onto the board. SE didn't get the hang of it and her arrows went everywhere... mostly the floor.
Hai
Aim, shoot!
With a local vacation like this, the kids could still go for their art class near our house. Which was good since I could pop home to collect the socks and gloves needed for ice-skating and bowling. The negative side about having 'surprise' vouchers is people wouldn't be prepared for them. So I ferried them over and then back again for dinner (this weekend is turning out rather too activity-packed). Chose another 'old friend' Ko Hyang for dinner - the kimchi fried rice was super-soggy though. At least I don't feel like ever going back.
Can I leave my food?
Ice-skating we had only 2 vouchers. Hubby didn't want to go so I didn't bother getting extra tickets. Like he said, we can't skate anyway so we won't be useful taking care of them. I didn't bother paying RM5 to go into the enclosure to help the girls get skates. They managed this themselves, put on the skates and hobbled over to put their own shoes into the lockers provided. This took oh, 10-15mins and I was beginning to think we might need to abandon this activity! Finally they did come out to the ice.
One clinging on for dear life and one flat on backside
After a lot of falling, they requested for a 'bobby' which is this seal-shaped skating aid. At least they were no longer stuck to the edge of the rink. After a while they didn't really need the bobby.
Abandoned bobby
Rest on my bobby
The session was 2 hours and by the time it ended, the mall was closed. No matter... just a short walk back to our room.
The next morning, we collected breakfast again and chilled in the room. Checked out and then only walked around in Pyramid. A final voucher to be used - bowling.
And home after bowling. Hubby was complaining he was exhausted after this holiday haha.
Wow! Really superb value for money with so many activities by using the vouchers and SE and JE learnt to skate on ice as well. They are courageous to go onto the ice by themselves without any parents and they did it by skating without the Bobby. Well done! 👏👏👏So many activities,no wonder your husband was exhausted. JE is growing up with a keen interest in many activities, like archery and ice skating as she is willing to participate in those activities. To think I have never done any bowling in my life, not even enter a bowling alley. Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteThese days there are many more activities available, as people try to find new ways to earn money and spending power gets higher. Hmm somehow I HAVE tried these activities though. Either a work-related event or on my own. Safe to say I am NOT good at any of them haha.
DeleteIts a holiday packed with activities which the girls enjoyed very much, or else they will be so bored. It will be tiring for the adults. Most important the girls are happy themselves and went home happy.
ReplyDeleteYeah this is the type of holiday the girls like the most.
