Contructions of Resorts World Sentosa, and Universal Studios Singapore began on 19 April 2008. After almost 2 years of construction, the park opened on 18 March 2010. The official grand opening of the park was held on 28 May 2011. So I have to make my point to this great place in the same year too.
The ticket price is S$72 (peak) and S$66 (non-peak). For full ticket pricing chart, please click on the link here: Ticket Chart
Together with me is my good friend, Wei Ling. I am carrying a big back pack which I planned to go back to Malaysia after the tour. They have a locker available near the main entrance of the Universal Studio. The duration available are 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 24 hours. So I have no choice but to put my backpack for a 24 hours time frame which cost me S$20.00.
Monster Rock. It is a Rock-N-Roll concerts by Universal Classic Monster such as Frankenstein, Phantom, Vampire, Mummy, Shewolf, Werewolf and etc. 3 stars.
One of the roadside decorations which you can take photo with.
Accelerator. Test your giddiness level by spinning all the way for 5 minutes. Not really my type. 2 stars.
This is the two type of coasters which are Cylon (Blue) and Human (Red). I prefer Cylon rather than Human. Bags and loose items such as keys, mobile phone and wallet are not allowed to bring along. They have a free 30 minutes locker for you. Unlike Sunway Lagoon which makes you pay for their locker. Please be advised to those who has a weak heart, do not try this. Cylon: 5 stars, Human: 4 stars.
Another coaster which is more fun than expected! Have you ever ride a coaster in the dark and the coaster can reverse?? Totally amazing experience for me. 5 stars.
Do not ever try to miss this one! Donkey Live! Yes, you are going to see a real donkey from Shrek here!!! I will not share any detail information to you because it is for you to find out. What I can share is I was really surprised with it. 5 stars
Shrek 4D Adventure. The 3D effect is way better than movies in the theater with using a simple 3D glasses. The 4D effect...hahaha...don't ever try to compare with the one at Genting and Langkawi which are just rocking the chairs. A lot of surprises for you to find out. You will definitely laugh all the way until the end of the show. 5 stars.
Madagascar: A Crate Adventure. Telling you a short story with Madagascar character, Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria on a river ride. Photography are allowed here. 3 stars
Waterworld. Please do not ever try to skip this one or you will regret it. They only have two shows which are at 12.30pm and 4.30pm because the preparations for each show are very tedious. When you watch the show and you will know what I mean. Oh, ya...you may get wet here! Please ready your umbrella. Of course if you are sitting on blue and green bench. If you do not plan to get wet, find a red bench to sit on. Note: Please do not bring babies here. Not really advisable. 5 stars.
He got one discussing tongue. LOL. Another attraction is to find all Universal characters that is roaming around the park. Take picture with them. They are fun!
Darn...this Frankenstein is really a freak! I almost suffocated by him!
Catch live show by 3 pretty ladies by the road. They sings very well!
Check out a short 1 minute video on them!
Not in the photo, another attraction which is worth to go is the Lights, Camera, Action! Hosted by Steven Spielberg. 5 stars for me.
We have two well known theme park and have been established for a long time which are Genting Theme Park and Sunway Lagoon. Genting Theme Park is created with the purpose of having a theme park on a mountain in Malaysia. They do not have the intention of making visitor to feel amazed and entertained with their effort when leaving the place like what Universal Studio does. Luckily they managed to rope in Universal Studio together to win the bid at Sentosa. Otherwise if they open their own theme park and I believe there will be no difference than the one on the mountain.
Sunway Lagoon is another failure which is their entrance fee already costing a bomb but when you enter the park, you need to pay more to play their certain attractions such as bungee jump, go-kart, surfing and etc. This is really very disappointing when you know you have to pay again after the entrance fee. There is only one attraction at Universal Studio that has to pay which is Amber Rock Climb.
As for the conclusion, you will leave Universal Studio with a big smile because you definitely can see and feel every single effort they have put in order to make your day.
Total Damage: S$162.00
Ambiance: 5/5

Will I Revisit?: Yes. Wanted to opt for their annual pass.
What will people think first when we talk about Penang? Penang Hill? Batu Feringghi? Hard Rock Cafe? I doubt any of them come first but their local food! Penang famous with their local foods and that is the reason there are a lot of hawker center at Penang. One of them is at Jalan MacAlister. No name for this hawker center but the local good foods are concentrated here. A lot of hawker stall like this here. There are just too many to choose from. Prawn Mee @RM5.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - As I mentioned in my previous post at Raodifang, I just hate to eat a prawn mee with small prawns in it. Loh Mee @RM5.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - Nothing special for an expensive small portion. Carrot Cake in chinese style @RM6.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - We ordered two plates and one plate is very delicious and fragrant but another one is too s
Most of people think if you travel to Hatyai and not visiting their temples, you are just wasting your time at Hatyai. As for my personal opinion, if you come to Hatyai and did not go to Sports Shooting Club (SSC) Hatyai to experience the shooting experience with a real gun, I think you are not just wasting your time at Hatyai but you are wasting your time being a human. You only live once and there is no better way to understand these guns than coming over to SSC. Their gun selections are enough to satisfy your urge. From rifle, pistols, revolvers to shotguns. You would be surprised that their rifle is the cheapest. The price is stated from 890 baht nett for a 15 rounds. I have tried the rifle, beretta and this Smith and Wesson 4506 .45 ACP. This 45 is my favorite among all with 50m shooting range and 8+1 capacity. One of the most expensive gun to rent here. Basically you are shooting at the target paper like this. You can adjust the range of the target to your prefer
Not really much entertainment in Sandakan even though they are just beside the sea. No nice beach for water activities and the nearest island like Pulau Selingan and Turtle Island are about 90 minutes away. As for the town itself, basically is this bowling centre called Champ's which has a very nice and good condition bowling alley, bowling shoes and bowling bowls if to compare with bowling centres like in KL. Not very big at all for their bowling centre which only has 12 lanes. Their shoes look so new! Here is a demonstration on how to bowl. Looks pro...I wonder how is the end result. So what do guys think? Is it a strike? They have a lounge here as well. And a cafe too! The price of the bowling is cost at RM4.80 per game per pax. We went at their most peak hours so their price basically has not much different than our KL City price. As for the bowling shoes is chargeable at RM2.00 per pax. FYI, the prices not inclusive government tax of 6%. Seriou
Have you ever stay in a Durian Farm before? No? At Bao Sheng Durian Farm, you can do it! This 6.7 acres durian farm has been established in Balik Pulau since 1959. It really took them full 60 years to get the fruit of their hard work. Their villa is well equipped with air-con, hot shower and LCD TV with hundreds of Blu-Ray quality movies in it! They have existing queen size or king size bed and extra bed can be requested. To get close and personal with the King of Fruit...the accommodation charges will be Deluxe Villa is charged at RM280/night and standard villa will cost you RM180/night. They only have 1 Deluxe Villa and 2 Standard Villa only. So it is very easy to be fully booked during the durian season. Advance booking is greatly recommended for at least 3 months ahead so that you will be able to choose the right schedule for the durian you wish to taste. Why stay in a durian farm? This is what you see when you open the window with all the durian trees around you. The fre
The first time I had my first black pepper Bak Kut Teh was at Sandakan. I never know there is one at Kuala Lumpur. I got to know it from Axian from his TV Programme, "Taste with Jason". The name of the restaurant is Kedai Makan Sek Me Choy. Even they have a space of three shop lots, their seats are still fully occupied. In the past, they were doing mining business. This is their old mining machine which they still keep it very well. Vegetable Rice @RM2.00 - You should try their vegetable which is very tasty. It is just cost RM1.00 more than their normal white rice. Black Pepper Bak Kut Teh Claypot @RM44.00 + Bean Curd @RM3.00 + YouTiao (small)@RM4.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is their signature dish which is catered for four. A very different from the common herbal type of Bak Kut Teh. You will taste a very rich black pepper fragrance in this soup. Very delicious. Yes, I have to admit it is a little spicy bu
Kota Kinabalu doesn't have huge hawker center like you will see in Peninsular Malaysia or Kuching but I have to reckon that the best hawker center in Kota Kinabalu is in Kedai Kopi Lotus. Kedai Kopi Lotus themselves do serve their own food which was very terrible and beyond edible state. So do not eat anything from this restaurant. You just pick the stalls beside this restaurant. There are 4 stalls which I will introduce one by one to you but the only stall which will not be introduced is the stall which is selling Guo Tie ( a kind of dumplings) - not my favorite. The best and the most popular stall of all is this chicken wing stall. Everyone is there lining up for them either taking away or dining there. You may need to wait for 15-20 minutes for it. However, it will be definitely worthwhile. RM2.65/pc for this chicken wing. The reason it is taste so good is because of the perfect combination of the honey and the BBQ fragrance. They blend it so well inside the fresh and
Driving in Singapore is really a pain especially the traffic congestion, parking hunting and speed cameras alert which is seems like everywhere. As for parking, weekdays parking is like vampire sucking all your money out from your wallet when the clock keeps ticking. Not just parking but their ERP toll is sucking the money out of your Autopass card too. However, I have realized that the best days to travel to Singapore is on weekends and especially on Sunday. ERP toll is free on Sundays. Parking rate are cheaper on Sundays and there are places are free parking too. Not much cars and peoples on the street on Sundays. Sunday is just perfect day at Singapore! Of course, if you plan to eat their buffets, Sunday will be not a suitable day as it will be super expensive. Anyway, today I just want to share one of the tourist attraction in Singapore which is the Merlion Park. I parked at Fullerton Hotel which has ample of parking spaces and it is only S$5.00/entry. The Fullerton Hotel is j
Thai Boat Noodles is a trendy authentic Boat Noodles originated in Bangkok Kwan Riam Floating Market located between Soi Saereethai 60 and Soi Ramkhamhaeng 187 where the vendors cook food in the little boats. It gains popularity not only with the locals but the tourist alike due to its sophisticated aroma riched soup based with sultry smooth Thai glass noodle that consists of more than 10 ingredients to prepare a piping hot bowl of comfort food. Aroi Thai Boat Noodles will target both Thai food lovers as well as casual diners looking for good food in a fascinating Thai atmosphere. Recently there is an interesting Thai restaurant which is known as Aroii Thai opened at Shaftsbury Square at Cyberjaya. The interesting part is all their food and drinks are only RM1.90++/each. I am not joking and I thought it was a gimmick too when I first heard of this. So I decided to drop by all the to Cyberjaya for a visit. Aroii in Thai means delicious. This delicious eatery is always packed with
At Kota Kinabalu, you may find Sheng Rou noodle is very common and famous among the local especially this Kedai Kopi Jia Siang which has a lot of customers roaming to their restaurant from day to night. Since they have a crowd like this, I have to make my point for it. Complimentary tofu for each ala-carte order. Tsate normal for me because I prefer a hot tofu. Sheng Rou Soup Noodle Outlook: 3/5 Creative: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - The ingredients are a lot but the noodle is plain and unimpressive. Noodle plays an important role but they have taken it lightly. It is just a normal commercial noodle not some handmade noodle. Dried Sheng Rou Noodle Outlook: 3/5 Creative: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - Once again, the noodle is the root cause for the low score. Meat Ball Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - This is a meat ball that will explode gravy in it. That is why they are look so big. As for the taste, not really impressive as

The charges are: Weekdays: RM10/pax (adult), RM8/pax (child) Weekends: RM12/pax (adult), RM10/pax (child) *child is 4-12 years old.

Today, I will share with you the road to the left which are Japanese Tea House and Botanical Garden. It is a very curvy and steep road to this Japanese Tea House. They are ample parking space for you to park your car here without any charges required. After you park your car, you have to walk up the hill for 10 minutes to reach to the Japanese Tea House. The air here is cool and breeze. You will feel peaceful and relax
