Monday, 14 May 2012

My KK trip of Part II is finally done!...pheww!

"...hallo...reception?.."
"..yes, miss."
"...o hi, i need to go to the main resort now. could you please arrange a shuttle for me?.."
"...sure miss."
"...thx.."

Stroll...After our prayers and a good rest, we decided to go for a stroll around Nexus resort. Shuttle arrived and we headed on to the main resort. It took only about 5 minutes drive.

me at the resort's gallery

hubby's pointing at...err...

the garden across the gallery seems well maintained...
hang on!...am not ready!...aaaa..eh..

Chess??...Playing on board games was something I have not done in many many years!...hee...now that I had came across one chess board over here, I have just got to step on it!...GAME ON!!!!...

ok...let's take our place and start the game!

moving one square to my right...clock off!

watch out Queen...am catching ya'...clock off!

...woohoo!...check!!!..hahahaha

Little Borneo Spa...along the hallway of the resort, I came across a sweet little decor of white and grey pebbles, few medium large potted plants of dracaenia stages...the extension of the Borneo Spa of the resort. Borneo Spa is located about a stone's throw away from the main resort.

me at Sunset Bar, bar located just next to the beach

Penyu Restaurant...since I arrived here in Nexus, both me and hubby have not taken our lunch yet...so, we headed on to this restaurant for our early dinner.

where we had our dinner

When asked, the buffet dinner only starts at 6.30pm. Noooo...too long of a wait...an hour and a half to go?...no-no...tummy needs input noww!!...huhu...so, we digged in on ala carte...

Fish n Chips...hubby's choice today...
crispy on the outside...so moist on the inside...hmm

tiger prawns for me...butter with garlic...nyum2...

mushroom soup...
so creamy with fresh soft chunks of mushroom

After our dinner, we walked back heading to the main lobby. Passing by the Kingfisher Restaurant was really with a to-die-for sight!...waaaahhhhh!!!...It came with a sight of a whole lamb on roasting mode!...woohoo!...looked well marinated, full of spices, lamb juice dripping while being roasted giving me the vision on how succulent and moist the meat must be...haaaaaa...gulpp!...see below...and since i had my dinner stuffed in me a while ago, I had to "dive" into this lamb just by looking and inhale as much smell of it as i could...huhu...

the whole of roast lamb on the go!...huhu...
saw this when we passed by Kingfisher Restaurant, where buffet dinner is served...

Along the way, came across few chefs stirring on something in a large wok...passing by nearer, my hubby went on...

"eh...kacau dodol??..."
"aah..ya...dodol...dodol durian.."
"...oo...buat untuk buffet serving?.."
"iya..."
"waahhh...buffet sini ada dodol durian...bagus ye.."
"iya...kami buat tiap2 hujung minggu saja.."
"brapa lama nak kacau ni?"
"lagi 1 jam mungkin...abang nak cuba?..."
"eh...boleh?...ok..."

apa lagi???...hubby's moves on dodol durian...hee

dapat "reward"...keja bagusss...eating time!!!

durian dodol boliauu (dissapears)!!!

Breakfast on morning 14 May...the room includes breakfast for 2. At the time when we checked-in, I was told that Nexus serves breakfast by the pool down the suite block...hmm...nice...less trouble to get myself to the main resort by shuttle...On the morning when I rang the reception, she said I have to go to the main resort and she shall arrange the shuttle for me...

"...kenapa tak buat di sini?.."

"..tak dapat buat di sini..ya..."

"..owh..ok.."

Didn't really answered my q...didn't wanna ask further. I guess probably there were not many occupants at this time that they found it was not reasonable to have another buffet spread at the suite site...

Arriving at the main resort, Penyu Restaurant served variety of spreads for our breakfast...mushroom cheese omelette was my "kick off" start...

"...mushroom..err..huh?..no mushroom?...hmm..ok, all then...lots of cheese ya.."...while showing on to the ingredients spread the cook had them ready...
