The seller delivered the cake on time at the appointed time. The cake was large enough and the price was reasonable. It was within the free delivery range, so it was cost-effective.

The air conditioning in the car is not cool enough. It's really hot. You can stay at each attraction for about 10 minutes (you can't stay long if it's too hot). The whole journey takes about 2 hours and 10 minutes.

This package is worth going. It is a must-see attraction in Kuala Lumpur. You can schedule it on the first day. If you are interested, you can go there on your own later.
