On Day 3, we ate our breakfast at Curry in a Hurry at 8.15 a.m. We ordered Nasi Lemak, Roti Chapti and Mee Goreng. Their Roti Chapti is like our prata and it is very big. The prata is bigger than Isaac's face.
After breakfast, we head down to First World Bus Terminal to catch the first shuttle bus (at 9.05 a.m) to the Chin Swee Caves Temple.
The Chin Swee Caves Temple is situated in the most scenic site of Genting Highlands. It is located 4,600 feet above sea level and the Temple is about 5–10 minutes’ drive down from the peak of the mountain.
Please see our photo journey to enlightenment.

| Their restrooms.... |
There is a small exhibition area on Bees. They also sell honey products there. Good educational area. The kids are introduced to the different species of Bees.
After walking for some time, the kids were hungry. So we bought strawberry ice-creams from the Strawberry cafe. They sold strawberry flavour coffee, strawberry shake etc
