Sungai Petani is a town in Kuala Muda District, Kedah. It is about 55km south of Alor Star and about 310 km from Kuala Lumpur. When I told my friends that I will be bringing my family to Sungai Petani for holiday, all of them asked me what is so interesting at Sungai Petani because we need to drive for 4.5 hours to reach that state from Kuala Lumpur. Since everyone so eager to know, I will write my holiday experience at this post.
This round, we will explore a new holiday resort at Sungai Petani with other bloggers from Penang and SIngapore. Cinta Sayang Resort had organised a 3 days 2 nights experience for me and my children at their resort. They had lined up some activities for our Stay, Play, Eat & Meet so that we able to experience ourselves things that we could do at their resort. Our 3 days 2 nghts activities as below :-
We start our journey from Kuala Lumpur at 2.30 p.m. and reached the Resort at 7 p.m. Once we reached, we proceed to CS Cafe to have our dinner. It is a 5-course dinner where we were served with Drink, Soup, Salad, Main Course and Dessert.

Then the soup comes next with lots of fresh seafood i.e. prawns, squids, fish and clams. Once have the soup and the seafood, I am quite full already.

CS Cafe is also famous with their variety of cakes. You can get the whole cake home and just pieces of it. Overall, the food portion at CS Cafe is quite big and we can't even able to finish it all. The taste was yummylicious and I just love the presentation of each meal that served to us on that day. After having our dinner, we proceed to check-in to our Apartment since everyone of us felt really tired after a long journey.

After an hour and half at the golf clinic, we proceed for the resort tour. We were brought to a grand ballroom where all the seminar and events were held. The ballroom was big and comes with a stage. I love their table setting and the design of the room was grand. I'm sure any event held here will be build up their reputation as the host of the event.
We then proceed to sit the buggy ride for golf tour area. I love the surroundings with the beautiful lake, the fresh air and a quiet place for golf player to concentrate on their activity to release stress. Recommended place for golf players.
