Corus & Doubletree.

Well here we go again on a little trip of our own. Thanks to winning some complimentary stays.

First stop, Corus Paradise Resort, Port Dickson. It's the first time we drove outstation, well not exactly we drove to Genting too but that doesn't really count, does it? lol

Made a stop at Pasar Besar Seremban for our brunch. I always try to make it a point to bring people here if it's convenient to stop by. Not many people know about this place and the famous four noodles.

One of them, Seremban beef noodles. The sauce is totally different from KL's, it's sweet and it has peanuts. Interesting and although I still prefer KL's version, this is really good too. RM6 for a big bowl.

Hakka noodles, with the ever soft, springy noodles and flavourful mince meat. I never really like KL's version, this is what I very much preferred. RM3.70 for a medium bowl. Awesome green chillies btw.

These 2 stores are the only ones that open till late. The loh shu fun (lai fun, to be precise) was sold out by 11am and I was NEVER early enough for the mihun sotong. Been here a few times but never once did I see the shop still open for business. I only get to eat it when my uncle in Seremban tapao'ed it early morning and bring it all the way here to KL for us.

At Corus, and room 512! My lucky numbers, that's almost like my birthdate. :)

Deluxe room with ocean view that has 2 double beds. Huge.

Was expecting a really run-down hotel but this is much better than I expected.

Bathroom's a bit let-down though, as it floods.

The view from the room.

The pool which was closed that day.

The entrance to the lobby.

Something in celebration of Merdeka I guess.

Dining area where we had our breakfast. I have to say, it's really unhygienic as flies were flying around the buffet spread and no one bothered to do something!

Random birds display.

And rabbits.

The beach beside. Not very pretty.

This water they trapped here.. not very clean. lol

Hotel in the middle looks new (think they just renovated?) while the two buildings beside are worn down. What a contrast.

Dinner at Lucky restaurant which is famous for curry buns. But we didn't try it. We got assam sotong..

Superb Gu lou yuk!

And claypot tauhu. Bill came up to RM44.

Nothing to do here, just relax and chill. Then next stop back to KL to check-in at Doubletree again.

Before that, lunch at Kin Kin, said to be the original home of chilli pan mee. Was there at 1.20pm and our food came at almost 2. Crazy crowd. It has a very homemade taste to it, but I still prefer Restaurant Chilly Pan Mee because of its lime juice in the chilli paste. Lime always makes food taste better. :p

Yay my second visit here. Super love it. The room seems bigger, but when I compared the pictures from my first visit, the only difference is we have a sofa now and not two chairs. lol

It's crazy comfortable and cosy and clean... it's awesome!

Oh how I miss the rain shower. You just don't feel like coming out.

This time we got a great view, since this is a deluxe room and not a guestroom.

Saw some fireworks that night for whatever reasons.

Dinner at Tosca again by the pool.

All for my beloved bolognese spaghetti!

And margherita pizza. Unfortunately they changed the recipe for this, it was still good but not AWESOME like last time. I think tomato paste is a much better combination than tomato slices eh.

Another difference from our last visit, this time we got free breakfast too at Makan Kitchen. Seriously the buffet spread was amazing! So many choices, we are so spoilt. Massive crowd too. Business must be good. lol

Love the Indian section, the beef was delicious, and the roti canai was really good with a lot of buttery taste. Look at all those pretty jam, which we didn't use.

Yummy omelette~

Plain noodles with superb chicken soup.

A lot of random stuff, there's nasi lemak, putu mayam?!!, pastries, pancakes, dim sum, lots of juices. Didn't eat too much but honestly was really impressed with the breakfast here, as the dinner buffet at Makan Kitchen was only average to me.

We also got newspapers delivered to our room. We didn't get that the last time we were here.

This hotel is more business-like, more business-feel, but I have to say the bed here is the most comfortable one I've slept in so far. I've been on a hotel-staying-spree the past year, and this bed is just too good. The pillows especially... omg I NEED THEM in my future house. :]

We have another Doubletree voucher... which I'm hesitant to use again. It's quite embarrassing to come here for 3 times for free haha. But then again, I miss the pillows. =D
