Johor Premium Outlets (JPO)

Johor Premium Outlets, or JPO in short, is one of the latest shopping attractions in Malaysia. This is an avenue for people to shop for branded items at relatively cheaper prices. Located in Kulai, within the state of Johor, it's deemed to attract both locals and tourists from the neighbouring country of Singapore. 

Pulai Springs Resort

The Place 

Pulai Springs Resort is located at the foothill of Mount Pulai in Johor. A place with 5-star facilities, the patrons are here for recreation and events, most of the time golf and maybe some seminars or courses. 
As for me, I was here for a wedding reception. Anyhow, my family first discovered it during their journey to send my brother off to UTM Skudai, which is just next door. Nowadays, there's the Johor Premium Outlet (JPO) and Legoland which are not far off to add to the reason to spend your weekend here. 

Bukit Tabur (West Side)

Background: Bukit Tabur is part of the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge located within the area of Taman Melawati, Selangor/Kuala Lumpur. Some may call it Bukit Tabuh, some Bukit Hangus, though I haven't met with any that referred to the latter. 

The entrance to the hiking trails are near the Klang Gate Dam. There are two tracks (that I know of) around Bukit Tabur. This post will cover the hike entrance from the western side.  

Gunung Datuk

Background: Gunung Datuk (or Gunung Dato') is part of the Hutan Lipur Gunung Datuk (forest) in Rembau, Negeri Sembilan. 

The summit is at 2,900 feet above sea level, with hiking difficulty at upper intermediate level. The terrains were similar to those at Kinabalu, at least a quarter part of it so for folks who are practicing to climb Malaysia's highest peak, you should find some time to come here. 

Grand Dorsett Subang Hotel

The Place 

Formerly known as Sheraton Subang, the hotel was recently taken over by the Grand Dorsett group. Hence the renaming to Grand Dorsett Subang Hotel. This is a 5-star hotel, targeted mostly at business travellers who appreciate style and quality service. 

Fraser Place KL

The Place 
Fraser Place Kuala Lumpur is a part of the Frasers Hospitality group. Previously, it's an office building (Lot 163) and a serviced residence building within the same compound. Currently there are construction work in progress to convert the offices into more service apartments. Some units are occupied by permanent residents, but it's open for temporary stay booking.

Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort

The Place 

Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort is situated along the beautiful beach of Teluk Chempedak, Kuantan, Pahang. Overlooking the South China Sea, this is one of the high-end accommodation options available at one of the most popular beaches in the state. From an outside front view, the hotel may not give so much of a striking pose (it's kinda dark I think, totally my opinion only). Just give yourself a chance to experience the facilities offered while enjoying the scenic view and you'll probably gonna love your stay there. 

Bukit Gasing

Background: Bukit Gasing forest park is a greenery haven in the middle of Klang Valley. It encompasses a 100-hectare area that borders Pantai Dalam, Kuala Lumpur on one side and and Petaling Jaya, Selangor on the other. The strategic location enables the city folks to escape the bustling urban jungle and turn to some natural therapy.
