June Favourites | Power Ranger Live Genting, Roots Kitchen & Bar, Density Frozen Custard, Bintan Spa Villa Resort & some personal achievements

How time flies and look we are half way through the year!

We are on the last week of the month, so now let's rewind and see what had been the highlights of this month so far! I've really busy getting a lot of things done in life and the happiest thing in my life at the moment has to be getting a Class 3 Driving License ( like a finally) on the second week of the month. So thankful for everyone that helped me along the journey and watch out for the new road hazard guys!!!! I've achieved quite some stuff this month, I'm overwhelmed but I'm greedy so I want more and more...

Throwback to the first week of June, the kind people from RWG invited us for a weekend up in the mountains! What's better than making friends, enjoying the cool breeze than to coop up in my 200sqft room in Singapore right? We caught up with the other blogger friends and snapped some really nice pictures, had a feast and caught Power Rangers Live Show! Power Rangers are really some 90s thing right, the one who sat beside me was such a hugeeeee fan.

Then came back and continue to be very busy with whatever I'm doing and had a really nice dinner with the folks from EOY Productions & what they called the Gen 1 Meidos. (actually only the three of us la). It was really a nice dinner that I think I need to dedicate another post just for it!

 

Dinner was at Roots Kitchen , 30 Dickson Road. 

Good service, ambience and more importantly food! 

I was on a vegetarian diet that week, because of prayers but oh god, that mushroom rice I had kept me thinking about it for days!

We also tried out frozen custard from Density, first in Asia by the way. #SingaporePride

It tastes like normal ice cream just that the making process is different. So here's a shout out to them!
Density is located next to the famed Rochor Beancurd Shop at Prinsep and they produce very unique flavours each day. They would post up a schedule of what patrons can look forward to each week and from the week we went, one interesting flavour was White Rabbit Sweet (大白兔奶糖) flavoured ice cream! So do check them up on their facebook page HERE.

Then off I go for another weekend retreat with my Travelling Khakis to BINTANNNNNNNNN.

The last time I stepped foot on that island was two years ago for my ex-company's retreat. I stayed with ClubMed Bintan and this time round we chose Bintan Spa Villa Resort, well-coordinated by our new extended member of the group, Jilyn!




Despite greeted by gloomy weather, we had lots of fun - we put off fireworks and went for a Kelong Visit. A different kind of kelong visit (to me) We ate like royalties and most importantly the quality time spent.

Good times ain't very long and we are homed to reality. Went to the Geylang Bazaar couple days back and I think I will be going again, so let's just hope that we have more things to complete and put up one short blog post of the place!

That's all for my June Highlights, thank you for reading and being part of my life.

Loves,
A.

FOODIES @ Resorts World Genting

#bloghacked againnnnn~ 

How can I miss food?

“Food is an essential and it is the most important factor when you are planning a trip!”

FOOODDDDDD~

So the question is what’s nice in Genting Highland?

~FOR DINNER~

Yes, I will definitely recommend Bubbles & Bites! It is located at Maxims, Level 2. This is one of the best restaurant in Genting Highland that serves affordable and delicious western food. But why the name “Bubbles & Bites”? It is because it serves simple western food with an exquisite array of drinks that they call it “Bubbles”. They are sparkling wines that were imported from different wine countries like Italy, Spain, France and many more. These “bubbles” will definitely complement with all the dishes that they have in the menu, no matter how light or heavy it would be. They have cute miniature bottles of sparkling wines, alcoholic sodas, juices, soft drinks, beers and wines from all over the world.

I enjoyed the setting as it gives a very relaxing and rustic ambience, which you can totally enjoy your dinner in. Their menu is rather extensive, which is a good problem, as we have so much options and we do not know which to choose. The extensive range includes, sumptuous starters, soups and salads, homemade pastas, burgers & Sandwiches, pizzas, stews, sausages, pies and many more (too much to mention all).

So blessed to be able to try many dishes from the menu. Here are the photos of some of the mouth-watering and enticing food~

Spaghetti Aglio-Olio

Peri-Peri Chicken Wings

Slow Braised Lamb Shank

Chicken Schnitzel

Lam Lee Burger

Napoli Pizza

Parmigiano Burger

Oblong Margherita

Ginormous 4 Months Old Angus Beef T-Bone Steak

Kampung Chicken

Don’t they all look so appealing to you? Are you hungry now?

My top 3 favourites will be …

NUMBER 1: Grill Salmon Tagliatelle & Cremosa Pesto
The salmon is so fresh and grilled to perfection, together with the homemade cremosa pesto sauce and the spaghetti cooked to the right softness. Missing this so much! I can't find any like this in Singapore :( 

NUMBER 2: Ethiopian Chicken

; slow braised chicken with bread & sour cream. 

The chicken is so tender, eat it along with the soft bread, the brown sauce and sour cream. It's like the prefect match. YUMS~ 

NUMBER 3: Fresh Green Salads
A sumptuous meal with the meat, bread and noodles, it think it's good to have some fresh and healthy salad to balance out the diet. The amount of dressing is light and it is mixed nicely with all the veggies. One big mouth of salad with a slice of egg and crunchy croutons, such a great appetizer.  

Here are the signature dishes of the restaurant …

·       Fresh Green Salads

·       Pici Bolognaise Pasta

·       Gnocchi Pesto

·       Black Angus T-Bone Steak

·       Slow Braised Lamb Shank

·       Ethiopian Chicken

·       Chicken Schnitzel

·       Lam Lee Burger

·       Grilled Salmon Tagliatelle Cremosa Pesto

·       Bud Spencer Breakfast

·       Healthy Burger with Avocado fries

Looking at these photos makes me hungry again… Missing it!

Yummmmm yummmm~

What’s next after a good and sumptuous dinner?

DESSERT obviously … HAHAHAHAS

~FOR DESSERT~

“An in-house ice cream brand of Resorts World Genting, bringing you a wide array of favours that will definitely entice your taste buds.”

High quality and delicious ice cream that comes in forms of Gelato and Popsicle. It is conveniently located at First World Hotel next to the Lobby Café. It is definitely worth every bit of fats…, no I meant happiness that comes with it.

  Ice Cream for you?

 


Who wouldn't be smiling if they are treating to an ice cream feast? hehehes~ 
#canbearranged

Thanks RWG! (: 

What’s next after a good night rest?

Before the long bus journey back to Singapore, IT’S TIME FOR BREAKFAST ^^

~FOR BREAKFAST~

It is a brand new dining concept that is located at the 3^rd floor of First World Plaza. With the size of 23,568 sq ft, the restaurant is able to accommodate up to 1,300 diners at the same time. Serving different cuisines ranging from West Asian, to East Asian and Western breakfast choices, from 6am to 11am daily. Breakfast is served in buffet style with freshly made food that kicks start your day.

But why is it called ‘The Food Factory’?

; Factory, when you think of a factory, what comes in mind? Machine? Consistent product? Minimum manpower? Fast & efficient production?

All the chef have to do is to add the ingredients manually in the machine and the machine will start stirring and cooking the food. 

Look at those machines and the wide range of food served in the buffet line.

Pizza Maker Machine! 

This carrot cake is so good!

Such a feast early in the morning! #soblessed

YES, that’s right! Most of the dishes in the restaurants are cooked/produced by machines. These machines are able to produce all the food with the same consistency, regardless of the quantity. Pancakes in the same sizes, Pizza baked to perfection, large portion of noodles well-cooked with consistency.

Nice and hearty breakfast to start the day.

Don’t miss it, it is located at the 3^rd level of First World Plaza at an affordable price.

RM 29.00 nett for Adult

RM 14.50 nett for Child

Find out more here.

They do have special promotions from time to time too.

Back to reality! This also sums up my Genting Escapade Adventure with Lenice.

Thanks to RWG for the invite, Eric and Jiayi for hosting us and Genting Highland for the wonderful memories! 

Thank you all for reading my posts!

Annyeong~ 

Loves,
