I'm in Love with Carcosa Seri Malaysia

Is a Love at first sight for Ian & I when we saw the pictures of my friend's wedding, I said to myself "Yes! this is the place I've always been looking for, finally I've found it" but unfortunately the cheapest price for the dinner per person starts from RM 210 ++ for sit down dinner. Well all I can do is only dream about it now and have our wedding in Holiday Villa.

I've told my friends how beautiful is that place and words cannot describe how I felt when I saw those pictures, they gave me a "what so big deal or so great about this place"look, well I guess I should show you those pictures and judge it by yourself, some may not like it but who cares? as long as I like it mah!

Let me have the honour to introduce you to Carcosa Seri Malaysia .
In 1896, Sir Frank started constructing his official residence above the Lake Gardens. This was Carcosa, probably a stylization of the Italian cara cosa or "dear place".

In 1904, Sir Frank moved to Carcosa, at the same time finishing a building called "King's House" on an adjacent hillside. King's House, today Seri Negara (which means "beautiful country"), was to house the Governor of the Straits Settlements as well as other illustrious guests of the Malay Federation.

From 1904 until the 1941 Japanese invasion of Malaysia, Carcosa was the official residence of the highest British representative to the Malay States.
Today, Carcosa is one of the leading hotels with its manicured lawns and the lake gardens, a part of Malaysia which seemingly can never change.
