You can borrow electric kettle from receptionist ahd keep them thru out your stay there in-room. In my last trip, all electric kettles was lent out,so they get room service to bring up to my room a tea pot with hot water together with 2 white color-ed cup,hehehe....now,thats what i would call, "Good service",hehehe...

If you have girl in your room,can order from Go Food,if you dont speak bahasa,hehehe...and if you girls in your room,its gonna be party. Worse case scenario, order food from hotel (not cheap tho).

Have you tried the food stores along Gogo supermarket?




Good value food at a low cost.

My lunch at opposite Gogo supermarket,cost only 22k rupiah....

Nowhere close in terms of pricing and taste as compare to opposite Gogo supermarket,hehehe...by the way,i havent try Wey Wey Coffee shop behind Malaya cafe.

(i took the photo when they havent started business)

Morning Bakery is also around the bridge connecting between too.

I guess you would probably guess why i stock up so much my combat ration whenever i stayed around Harbour Bay,hehehe....


Come to think of it,its a pity this 8000 rupiah store closed down....


...otherwise ,this store is quite a place to shop around too.
