KBR Day 1 │ Lim Sian Tian to ibis Styles!

Kota Bharu!

We woke up at seven and began final preparations to pack up and check out of the rest house. We were finally ready and checked out an hour later, loading our luggage into BiBi then drove over to the home. 
We parked outside then walked over to Abid Corner for breakfast of:

  • Nasi Dagang for both of us 
  • hot Black Coffee
  • Iced Tea

that came to a very modest RM13.00 (approximately USD/EUR3). We then walked back to the home for one final check to ensure it was securely locked up.

Satisfied that the home was secure we commenced our drive north heading to Kota Bharu at nine. We avoided the federal route and enjoyed the scenic coastal road, and our seaside drive put us in the right frame of mind to endure our arduous drive fraught with dilly dally motorists.

Three hours or so later we arrived at our accommodation for the night, Hotel ibis Styles Kota Bharu. Our Superior Twin Room cost us RM246.24 (approximately USD58/EUR50) and we were a little disappointed that the room, as well as the entire floor held a faint odour of stale cigarette smoke, despite it being a non-smoking floor.

We however had no problems with the room itself, with a modern and vibrant feel complete with all the necessary amenities. We deposited our luggage and headed down to the restaurant but were told it was closed for a private event.

We then tried the Lobby Café, naturally at the lobby of the hotel and ordered the:

  • Spaghetti Carbonara
  • Crispy Chicken Burger
  • Spanish Latte
  • Milo Tabur 

for a total of RM62.00 (approximately USD15/EUR13). We then headed back to the room to shower and change into my office wear.

Please stay tuned as I visit visit with my counterparts at the Kota Bharu branch!
