So who's a fan of DC Comics? There's a super cool cafe that will really win the hearts of DC Comics fans and I had the chance to check them out during my 36-Hour Food Trip at Sky Avenue Genting Highlands. If not because of this Food Trip, I don't think I would actually have the chance to pop in and have a look and oh boy I had fun :)

Walking into the cafe, you will be greeted with tons of wall murals and also life sized figurines of characters from DC Comics. Check out Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Batman and many more! 





Each table was well decorated with comic scenes and graffiti art of the characters. Just like all themed cafes, there would be a hit or miss either in decoration of food so let's see if the food is any good. I've been to several themed cafes which well, you are paying for the ambiance and decoration more than the food served. So I was intrigued with what DC Comic Cafe have to offer. 



After going through their whole menu which was equally DC Comic inspired, me and my hungry pals decided on several dishes which were not only instaworthy but looked pretty decent for the price. 

Superman Punch Burger RM28

First up, Superman Punch Burger - Homemade beef burger with cheese, pineapple and bolognaise sauce served with fries. Ok I'll admit, I ordered this because firstly it's a Superman themed dish and secondly it comes in this Superman lunch box which I wanted to cart home. 

The meal came with some juicy Beef Burger topped with cheese and a grilled pineapple with was so good! I just love grilled pineapples because it has this additional sweetness to it. Served with thick fries, this Superman set packed a punch in my tummy. By the way, do you see how they stamped the bun with the Superman logo? Now that's what I call effort :)

Barman vs Hawkman Set RM23

Next just like the movie, we got a Batman set to see which sets fare better. The Batman vs Hawkman set which is also served in a Batman lunch box was an Egg and Turkey Roll Burger served with fries. This set came with a fried egg which would really win if the yolk was still runny. Tastewise, I still prefer my Superman Beef Burger.



We also got some drinks (also so DC Comics themed) to match with our meal. Bruce's Top Toffee won my heart with the cup. Like seriously, can I just take the cup back? Super cute Batman inspired cup and it even has a cape just like Batman! 



By the way, I checked their merchandise store just opposite the cafe and it's nearly RM100 for the cup. The Chocolate Toffee Ice Blended was chocolatey, icy and not too sweet which one of my pals finished up the whole glass. 

One tip: Please do not breathe in or out to strongly because the cocoa powder will just fly! 

Hot drinks, we got the Do You Bleed Latte (Batman) and the Crunch Time Cappu (Superman). Overall both the latte and cappuccino was well accepted and not bad for a nice cup of coffee.

The past weekend has been pretty epic with a 36 Hour Food Trail at Sky Avenue Genting Highlands. I surely have not eaten so much in that two days! Eating at 28 outlets within a period of 2 days has got to be an amazing feat so do stay tuned to my post once I manage to filter through the hundreds of photos.


In the meantime, let's have a little culture and artsy post first. Culture and the arts are given prominence at SeniKome Peng Heng in Resorts World Genting—and reflecting this is a series of activities that will be held in the coming months. We managed to schedule in a short break to pay a visit at SeniKome Peng Heng which highlights East Coast  traditional visual and performing arts. The Cultural Centre is located right next to Food Factory which I also reviewed the last time I had a staycation in Resorts World Genting.

I had my experience living in the East Coast, in particular Kelantan when I was undergoing my Degree so stepping into this Arts & Cultural Centre brought back memories and also allowed me to learn more about the heritage of Malaysia.

There will be different art forms being showcased throughout this two months every weekend.

The splendours of the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia—the states of Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan—lie at the heart of SeniKome. Thematic displays of art and culture from these states are the
focus of the centre. SeniKome, which means “our art” in the Pahang local dialect, is indeed dedicated to promoting the beauty of the east coast local craft, fashion, games, food and music.

The centre also aims to foster a creative environment where traditional artistry can flourish through immersive programmes such as the Wayang Kulit and Batik displays that are coming up. There is also an experiential area for various traditional games; this is where visitors can participate in Congkak and Batu Seremban.
I still remember those times in Primary School when we played Congkak and Batu Seremban for fun! Really brings back a lot of memories and you can also try playing these games at the centre.

How can one truly experience art and culture without trying some of the delicious East Coast cuisines? You can also enjoy food and drinks at the centre; the East Coast Art and Souvenir Shop not only offers gift options like fine textiles and pewter ware items—visitors can enjoy traditional dishes like the signature Nasi Kerabu or Keropok Lekor. Their Nasi Kerabu is the best! I could taste the Kelantan flavors in each spoonful; with the different herbs and ulam. Gosh it just transports me back to Kelantan and I just love it.

There is also a Reading Corner at the centre, and visitors can join the guided tours that are held three times daily. Admission tickets to SeniKome are priced at RM8 for adults (RM7 for GRC members) and RM6 for children (RM5 for GRC members). For larger groups,the family package is priced at RM25 that allows entrance to two adults and two children.

Don't miss out on this cultural experience while enjoying the cool weather up in Genting Highlands. For more details call +603 2718 1118 or visit www.rwgenting.com
