Vday Getaway Part II

Woke up pretty early for our buffet breakfast! & boy, it was worth waking up early for!

Look at the spread!


Breads

Pastries



Cereals


Waffles, Pancakes and Croissants


Juices and milk



Fruits


There's even kimchi for our Korean friends!




French toast!! SO THICK!


Phad Thai


Really good sausages!


Dim Sum for the Hong Kong-ers


Mini Beef Burgers which are REALLY SUPERB!


Eggs done in any way you like! You can even request for poached eggs!


Sea view~



I had honey with bread. SUPER GOOD! I LOVE IT!
This made me break my no-carbo diet!

And also, I was having my period (first day, SO SUAY RIGHT!) and I can't have anything cold. So I requested for warm milk with my cereal.. And they gave me a HUGE BOWL of warm milk!
Their service is too good to be true la!

Went back to the hotel to rest 'cos of my cramps. :(


Miserable me. :<


And this was what housekeeping made for us! HAHA yes we were in the room while they're tidying up and they only took like.. 10 mins?

Soon after, we left the resort as bb wanted to take a dip in the pool before we head out for our day activity. IKR so cek ark.. People cannot swim you still wanna go dip dip in pool!

And off for our adventure!

I was even thinking twice of not going.. But I still went.
AND I DID NOT REGRET IT!!

Getting ready!




We handed our camera to the tour guide, he was so professional lah! Helped us take photos and even videos!


By the beach~


In the jungle. YES WE WENT INTO THE JUNGLE!
So much fun!! Lots of turns and downhills etc etc. Not like some boring ones where they bring you to a plain open field and ask you to ride around..


Us overcoming this super steep up-hill slope!


And we did it!!


Stopped by the tour guide's friend's place for some coconut. His friend actually climbed up the tree and plucked some fresh ones for us!


US! With coconuts

Went back to the resort to shower and all, and I slept for some more! Goodness, I hate cramps! :(

Woke up and it's already nearing evening..
View outside our resort!


See the red little table thing?


One of those destination dining places! SO COOL!!
We headed for a yoga session that lasted for 1 hour, and then headed back to the resort to change. Getting ready for dinner!


Bb was acting all mysterious and all.. Didn't want to tell me where we're going for the dinner. And when I reached the place I was dumbfounded..

Remember the little red table I mentioned earlier?

IT WAS FOR US!!!!


Happy surprised girl!!


BB!


And the view behind!
Wha I tell you, it's like.. WOAH. The experience is unforgettable! The waves are like your live band, and the wind... SHIOK!




HAHA no wonder the server kept addressing baby as MR BROWN.

And yes, we have a personal server to ourselves! Poor guy had to climb up and down the stairs to get our food and to return the food.


Appetiser!


Another one!
Sea scallop and Salmon Ceviche, Guacamole and Adamame Beans Salsa.
(IKR I only know what's the sea scallop and salmon haha)


Grilled Shitake Mushroom Cappuccino, Porcini Dust, Truffle Oil
SUPERB SOUP!!!!


Strawberry Sorbet, Balsamic Reduction
It was super nice!! Not too sweet, nor does it have this "too much ice" feeling. A pity I can't have too much of it, but I really love it!


My main course!
Pan Seared Wagyu Medallions, Roasted Garlic, Artichoke Risotto, Baby Carrot in Parsley Butter

This was the BEST BEEF and RISOTTO I've even had!! Serious! I ordered it in medium, and when I cut them up, no blood flowed out. But it remained as being medium. Oh gosh I love it!!!


Baby's main course!
Rock Lobster and Braised Fennel, Sunflower Puree, Champagne Beurre Blanc, Smoked Avruga Caviar.

It was really nice too! Totally melts in your mouth! But the serving... A bit pathetic ar..


Desert!!
Summer Berries Sabayon Gratin, White Chocolate Ice Cream

I had it without the ice cream, which was pretty pointless. I stole a mouth of the ice cream with the berry thing, it was heavenly lah!
Stupid cramps, stupid ovary!


Chocolates at the side. So sweet of them

And pictures to sum up the night!




The server gave me a rose, so sweet of him1!


But as I walked up the stairs back to the resort (it was really dark), I accidentally dropped it and poof, it became like this:


Didn't know that roses are so fragile lor! Kns.
I really loved the smell of the rose though!!

We went to bed early that day as I was really tired!

Woke up the next day again for..

the breakfast!!



Compare baby's plate.. to mine:



HAHA a tired b :)

We left the resort earlier than scheduled 'cos of my stupid cramps :(

BUT I ENJOYED THIS TRIP SO MUCH!!
Thanks to my lovely boyfriend for taking the time our to plan such a wonderful trip for me :>

Happy Valentine's Day y'all!
Everyday should be V-day!

Hi, came across your blog. Love reading. Can't help it but just to let u know, coconut is considered as 'cold', not advisable to take during period, will cause bad cramps.
