Feast Village, Pangkor Laut Resort

After a short rest in our Hill Villa, we walked down to Feast Village for our dinner. The package that we purchased from Citibank is inclusive of 3 meals a day, which I mentioned earlier. And only a few outlets participating this promotion, one of them is Feast Village, where you could have your daily breakfast down here, starting from 7.30am to 10.30am, and as well as set dinner. Apart from here, Royal Bay Beach Club is another place for lunch which we had our lunch after checked in.

The resort would encourage their guests to have a reservation before you dine. So, they will have a desk at the reception where they arrange and accept your reservation for your dinner.

We decided to go to Feast Village cuz it’s nearer to our villa and we need not to walk for a distance.

The moment we sat down at our table, the waitress gave us the menu for the night. That night they served Western Set, Malay Set and Japanese Set. I chose Japanese Set without 2nd thought, and hubby went for Western Set.

The waitress was courtesy enough to explain to us that Western set will serve dish by dish where as, Japanese set will serve all at one time.

I was delighted someone was so courtesy and understand the Customer Satisfaction kind of philosophy.

Anyway, dinner is so much better than the lunch earlier. At least everything is well cooked. Hahahahaha….
My Japanese set was something that consists of raw tuna, some unagi, deep fried vegetables, a dessert.
Hubby's Western set was a soup and bake bread for a starter, follow by a nutmeg sorbet. I wonder why sorbet did not serve after all meals.

Main course was given 3 choices to pick, among that was BBQ Chicken, Beef and Grill Fish. Hubby chose Grill Fish, cuz, that's his liking.

After the main course, the final one of course is the dessert. When they sent the dessert over, I still do not have any idea what kind of dessert is this. When I show the picture to my sister, guess what she told me, it was a peacock. They made the ice cream into a peacock shape. Isn't that marvelous??

After the dinner.... it's another slow walk back to our villa...

Royal Bay Beach Club, Pangkor Laut Resort, Day 1

I guess no one would find this place a stranger, everyone in the world is aware of this island. Even the late Luciano Pavarotti is in love with this paradise island. Well … so do I.

Hubby planned this vacation in conjunction with the Citibank Holiday Promotion. And, he thought it would be a good deal for a stress free break for me, especially lately I’ve been under tremendous working stress.

I have actually took lots of pictures on this island, whether is on the beach, on the villa, at the Spa Village, during meal time, swimming pools, coconut trees, and so on.

The package is actually a 3 days 2 nights package that costs RM799 nett per person and it’s inclusive of 3 meals. 1st meal is started from the lunch and it ends on the breakfast on the 3rd day.

When we arrived on the island, it’s already 3pm, after sending us to our Hill Villa, it was pretty late to have our lunch. And, with that reason, nothing much we can choose from the menu. The waitresses kept telling this is sold out or that is sold out.

Well, at least we could choose 1 appetizer, 1 main course and the dessert, though the choices were limited.
I ordered a Caesar Salad for myself, a spaghetti with tomato sauce for the main course and a Tiramisu for the dessert. Honestly, there’s nothing to shout about for the main course, but for the appetizer it wasn’t tasted that bad. As for the dessert, I guess I prefer Bakerzin’s Tiramisu.
While waiting for food to be served, I saw a peacock sauntering around with nobody’s business at Royal Bay Beach Club; the venue where I took my lunch on my arrival day. I have never have such experience that I can see a peacock sauntering around like that while you’re having your meal.
Hubby actually ordered this Asparagus Salad with Fig and Goat Cheese for appetizer. A smoked salmon pizza for the main course and last, the only Tiramisu for dessert. I could see he wasn’t enjoy the appetizer, cuz, he can’t figure out something sweet for a starter. In fact, neither do I. [LOL]
The pizza dough was like uncooked, and it was tasteless as well. Hubby didn’t even finish the plate of pizza.

So, wanna know what we had for dinner…??? Was it good compare to the lunch?? Well, stay tune …

Vacation

Dear readers,

I'll be away for vacation for these couple of days, thus, I will not be able to post any posts for the mean time.

But, I would wish you will visit this small little corner of mine after my vacation.

So, please stay tune for more updates after this break. :D

Siam Express, Queensbay Mall

Do you notice one thing here? I have been blogging about Chinese food, hawker delight, western food, Nyonya food, but nothing like neither Thai food nor Indian food. Well, this will be my first post on Thai food.

Honestly I am not a Thai food fan; neither do I fancy anything Thai, apart from Tom Yam, Belacan Fried Rice, and Pineapple Fried Rice.

So, this will be my first Thai food post. [grin]

Actually, this is one of the week days that we don’t know what to have for dinner, and have no idea where to go for dinner. Thus, we decided to go for a walk in Queensbay Mall and see what we will pick up from there.

Hubby wanted to try this outlet for quite some time, and with that in mind, so I decided to give it a try.
First hubby ordered this seafood tom yam flat noodle and I ordered this thai style fried pad thai (ผัดไทย).
After that, hubby said that doesn’t fill up his hunger, so he ordered another plate of Belacan Fried Rice & some snacks.
And this MONEY BAG caught his attention, so here it is how it looks like. Though this money bag is kind of small, but taste wise, not too bad.

For the Belacan Fried Rice, it wasn’t anything special or highly recommended. To me it’s kind of normal. Secondly, I am not use to the raw stuff that Thai cuisine serves. For example, long bean serves with this fried rice without stir fry. And stir fry pad thai, they serve raw bean sprouts. I just don’t know why, compared to Japanese cuisine, I could take those raw stuff.

Oh yes, one thing good about this place, is their speed of serving. It was extremely fast and I was very impressed of it’s ‘express’ service. It took only less than 10 to 15 minutes to serve. Isn’t this fast?

Home Cook Fish Head Noodle 魚頭米粉

I have not been putting any effort this week and last on my blog. Not any other reason but I have been busy at work and even worked over the weekends. And, not because of am neglecting this, but I couldn’t spare any time to maintain it. But am glad I do see comments from you guys. And these comments are the encourages that keep me moving.

Ok, let’s talk about Fish Head Noodle this time.

Remember I blogged about the best Steamboat in Butterworth (紫薇園魚頭火炭爐), that’s the place for Fish Head noodle as well. And, per bowl costs us RM7-00. Though is very big portion, however, we consumer will ask, does it really need to spend RM7-00 just for a bowl of Fish Head noodle?

So, what I did was, I cooked the same soup base as theirs and here it turns out to be. And hubby finds it almost the same as 紫薇園魚頭火炭爐 in Raja Uda.
First, I deep fried those fish head, fish meats and the yam as well. Once done, put the yam in the pot and boil for 2 to 3 hours, plus the fish bones, pork bones, fish meats. Once it’s almost done, what I did was, I add some condensed milk into the soup base. And, that turns out to be this delicious looking soup. [LOL]
Having fish head noodle best is having thick rice vermicelli (米粉), some people will go for thin one and some will go for maggi noodle. Since, I was following the same as the outlet, I’ll go for the thick rice vermicelli.
Well, … here comes my home cook fish head vermicelli (魚頭米粉), isn’t it nice? Drool, huh???
Oh yes, what’s famous in that place was their soup base and their chilies. Chop lots of garlics, chilies, and add lime to it. This is the one and only one that accomplish the delicious 魚頭米粉.

Kulim Restoran Kolam Ikan 魚塘小食館

Errr… how do I start this post?? I was brought to this place without knowing where is it, not even can recall the direction to this place, neither can I remember what fishes that we had ordered.

By reading the above expressions, I guess you could guess that I was overjoyed and excited over the food. Those fishes that we had ordered it was so fresh that you can't resist to eat it all at one goal. [LOL]

Honestly, it was some where in Kulim, and I remember I need to drive pass a 'jungle', and this place was interviewed by Jason from Astro. I guess with that publicity, there are lot more customers came and visit this place.

We were told these dogs are the helper in guarding the fishes that they breed. They are tame & discipline during the day, but fierce and wild at night. When you look at those muds at the pond, you will be wondering will those fish fresh and nice. That's how we judge everything by the cover of the book, huh?!

Seriously, can't recall what we had ordered, but basically we order their specialties, steam fish and the tomyam paste.



Most of the place if they deep fried a fish, they will not remove the bone for you. But this place to my surprise, they remove everything and that has actually minimize certain risks for a clumpsy customer, isn't it?
We ordered an extra plate of vegetables, in case we didn't have enough of those yummilicious fishes... The vege that they served are crunchy, I bet those are fresh ones.


With this picture above, I guess I need not to say more about it, right? You could imagine how delicious, how yummilicious, how fresh are those dishes that we ate!!!

Shall re-visit them again, this round I'll sure memorize the direction to this place!!!
