Satay King in Hong Kong

Stay King has several branches in Hong Kong and i used to visit this restaurant at Jordan MRT Station. I think it has already close down. Not sure of the reason but it used to be pack during the lunch time. I remember we have to queues for half and hour just to get a space. Anyway, it is common to queues for lunch in Hong Kong.

This is not a luxury restaurant but i personally think it is worth visit. They are using the Private of the Caribbean as their theme for the decoration. The on at the Jordan MRT Station is well decorated a=but what a pity i did not take the photos. Mong Kong branch is normally decorated.

I love the Satay vermicelli with pork slice. The satay sauce is thick and nice. Not too spicy and little sweet. The locals love the curry pork rice. I can see more than half of the customers is ordering this dishes. As for me after so many visit to this restaurant, i still stay with my satay vermicelli.

We did tried others but again, i still prefer satay vermicelli with pork or beef slice. Now they came out with boil eggs with very yellowish york. It is like similar to the one in Japan. I did tried it, emm... just okay.

Anyway, if you love curry or satay sauce, it is worth trying it.

Avillion Admiral Cove Hotel, Port Dickson, Malaysia

Avillion Admiral Cove Hotel is a relaxing resort over looking the Straits of Malacca. It is located at Port Dickson beach at Negeri Sembilan. Driving from Kuala Lumpurt City to Port Dickson is about an hour drive.

In fact there are many hotel and resorts at Port Dickson but we decided on Avillion Admiral Cove due to the reviews by visitors. We did not make the wrong decision and it was really value for the money. The room is spacious with a comfortable king size bed and a day bed. In fact there are sliding doors separating bedroom and the living room. This will give you maximum privacy or i personally think if you are at the lower floor, and if it is too noisy, you can slide the door close. They even have a cute ceiling fan above the bed. Not because they do not have air con but it  is just another option for guess. The air con is cold enough. You can also open the balcony for the fresh air.

There is a kitchen style sink which was convenient for families with kids. If you have kids, you will know what i meant.

Photo below: my kids are waiting for our keys at the lobby.

The pool area is beautiful. The kids just love it. Beside the pool, you can have a great view of the marina and yatch.

This hotel has a private beach, which is a plus. My kids enjoy building sand castle. Beside this there are other activities such as archery, banana boat, jet skis, bicycle ride and etc.

As for the breakfast, the is reasonable. Not much of choice but acceptable. We have our diner at one of the sea food restaurant 3 Min's from the hotel. It was good.

Overall, worth to visit for a short escape.

Pulai Spring Resort, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Pulai Spring Resort is located near to University Technology Malaysia (UTM). This is a golf resort, hence for golf lover, this will be an idea place for golfing and your family is able to enjoy the facilities at the resort.

This hotel has 2 fascinating swimming pools. My kids love this resort so much due to the swimming pool. The swimming pool located near the restaurant serving the breakfast, is the best for us. We parent enjoying our breakfast while our kids playing at the pool. We can choose to sit at the table right beside the pool, so we can watch over our kids.

The bigger swimming pool is located at the health and game area. It is just opposite the reception. There is a big pool and a smaller one with slide. Kids love the water slide especially when there are lots of kids playing together. They have a jacuzzi too, but i think it is not working. You can view the golf cost from both the swimming pool. Very relaxing calming.

The room were nice. The first time we stay at this resort, we were upgraded to a suite room. Good size for family. Kids playing hide and seek in the room. Unfortunately the second time, we stayed here, we were not upgrade. But the room still look good. Quite spaces with kitchen facilities. A sofa set separating from the room.

There are many other facilities but we do not have time to enjoy it, including Facilities for the Physically Challenged.

Here they serve full breakfast from nasi lemak to pastry. We did not try dinner at the resort but i heard it is good as well.

In short, if you have plan to visit Johor Bahru and if you are not in a rush, do consider this resort.

 

Huizhou Xunliao Bay, Shenzhen, China (Part 2)

Part 2 of Huizhou Xunliao Bay

Beside that, there are many fisherman boats around the beach. You can hire the boat for about 45 mins. Hiring a boat cost you RMB200. It will take you about 10 to 15 mins from the beach. Stop at one place for you to view the scenery and putting the fish net. We have no luck, we caught only 1 small little fish and a tiny little crab. I saw some of them came back with a good catch. Well, it is just a short experience for you riding the fisherman boat but it was interesting for first timer. Non of us will try for the second time...

During the night, we walk to the right side of the hotel (10 mins walk) to the local seafood restaurant. The food was so delicious. All of us was so pround that we walk all the way here and found such a nice seafood restaurant. You must try the Mantis Shrimp. Before we cross a brigde to reach this restaurant, there are BBQ area along the beach. I think we will go for BBQ the next time we visit this place. There are locals selling the BBQ staffs here, so it is very convenience.

Below is the bridge to the local restaurant. Only less than 10 mins walk.

 

Below are some other photos taken at the resort...
