Thanks for writting out alot of info, I would add on that Nagoya Hill has a nice hotel nearby called I- Hotel. If you are bringing your wife there for a day or 2, to shop, spa and nail service, you can try Nagoya Hill Mall.
Eska Spa, nail services, Isabella, sawadeeka are all within the mall.
As for food, unless you got friends who are willing to drive to Punggul, or Batu Besar, where these are good food places, then dont try it. The taxi fare may be a bit ex, for 2, but for a bigger group, it is worth it.
Other than that, there are A1 food court, Harbour bay food court, Pacific food cout, etc.
Ask if the driver knows about Hai Ow food, use to be next to the canal, but he shifted a few houses down, pretty good zhi char.
Another mall I recommand where you can get more chinese items is BCS mall, which is mainly chinese.
To tiger 38, hope yo have a nice trip.
