Prize: A 2D/1N stay at Hotel On The Park for two and a food trail experience at several of Sky Avenue’s eateries including La Fiesta, Motorino and more worth RM1,000 per person
Located 6,000 ft above sea level is SkyAvenue, Resorts World Genting’s latest shopping mall, and also a brand new cultural centre SeniKome. And for two days (Sep 23-24), you’ll get to go on a food trail at the mall and dine at some of Genting’s fine eateries. The trip will kick off with a cable ride to SkyAvenue at Awana Skyway, the resort’s new cable car system. After checking into the newly revamped Hotel On The Park (previously Theme Park Hotel) where you’ll spend the night, the food journey will start at 12noon at Motorino, a famous Neapolitan-styled pizza joint from Brooklyn. After lunch, you’ll be taken on a guided tour at SeniKome, a brand new cultural centre which showcases the traditional arts and culture of the East Coast, namely from Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu.
The next stop – afternoon tea – will be at Cafés Richard. The space is inspired by and gives off a Parisian café vibe, and offers an extensive list of premium coffee to choose from. Dinner will be at La Fiesta, where you’ll be treated to a spread of Spanish cuisine in rustic surrounds – think everything from tapas and paella to jamón ibérico and a selection of Spanish cheese.
Your gastronomic journey will resume the next morning at Malaysian Food Street, a 1,000-seater food court housing 22 stalls that serve popular Malaysian food. The stalls featured here were hand-picked from local favourites, and include Genting Famous Chicken Rice, Petaling Street Hon Kee Porridge and Penang Char Kuey Teow, to name a few.
If you still have room for more food, the food trail will end with lunch at e18hteen, which offers an exclusive Garden in the Sky dining experience. Located on the 18th floor of Maxims Hotel, this restaurant and bar serves up a menu of Cantonese, Japanese and Western favourites with a side of breathtaking views of the highlands from above the clouds.
