The food served in <span style="color: blue;"><b>Club Med Cherating</b></span> were not heavenly delicious but considered enjoyable. They won't serve pork and lard within the club, which is suitable for those who don't take pork.<br />
<br />
We were satisfied with all the meal in <span style="color: blue;"><b>Club Med Cherating</b></span>, especially they serve from morning till late evening...you can enjoy the food whenever you are hungry.<br />

It is considered the original <b>all-inclusive</b> resort.<br />
<br />
<b>"</b><i>The Club was started in 1950 by former Belgian water polo champion Gérard Blitz. Blitz, a Belgian, had opened a low-priced summer colony of tents on the island of Majorca. Trigano supplied the tents, and in 1953 Blitz wooed him into a partnership. The first official Club Med was built the next year in Palinuro, Salerno Italy. The original villages were simple with members staying in unlit straw huts on a beachfront, sharing communal washing facilities. Such villages have been replaced with modern blocks or huts with ensuite facilities.<br />The club joining fee was set at 300 French francs and the cost of a two-week vacation at 15,900 francs.</i><b>"</b><br />

It's a private club, means visitor cannot simply walk-in unless you are the guest of the club. Once we reached the main hall, the <span style="color: blue;"><b>GO (Gentil Organisateur or Gentle/Kind Organiser)</b></span> was stand-by and start to arrange our luggage to the room. Then we were direct to the reception for welcome drink and activities briefing...<br />

Let me show you the surroundings...<br />

It might be our lucky number <b>'a1112'</b>...haha!</div>
</div>
<br />
First, we were impressed by the well maintained in every area, friendly staffs around and full of activities. <span style="color: blue;"><b>Jojo</b></span> <b>(GO of Club Med)</b> did pass us the activities schedule, and everyone was too excited to rock 'n roll once we settle everything in our room...<br />
<br />
The Club area and rooms area were covered by <b>high speed Wifi</b>, don't worry...you are connected all the time! Unlike previously, where you need to keep all the phones, watches in the locker...(everyone was talking about it, but I haven't experience it before)<br />
<br />

<br />
The humble and friendly owner - <b>Mr Thomas</b> started to introduced their signature dishes to us once we settled the table. At first, he would like us to try out the imported Taiwan teas which are not easy available in Johor Bahru, as the name of the tea was <span style="color: blue;"><b>'Shan-lin-xi' (杉林溪)</b></span>. Beside this, they also have another 3-4 more imported Taiwan tea in the restaurant.<br />

<b><i>Taiwanese pork knuckles 台湾猪脚</i></b></div>
<br />
The taste of the Taiwanese pork knuckles was slightly different from our local braised pork knuckles, it was mild and not too salty but with a nice aroma. Beside that, the pork knuckles was cooked with peanuts and it went well with a plate of plain rice. Like it!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
This was a popular dish in Taiwan. The sliced pork was boiled and served with the mashed garlic sauce and almost 13 types of ingredients like onion, ginger, soy sauce, rock sugar, anise, Chinese cinnamon, salt and many more...the pork were half lean and fat, and succulent, with all this combination of the ingredients above...resulted this delicious dish on our table.<br />
This was one of the best dish of our dinner! <b>Awesome!</b><br />
<br />

<i><b>Chives and cabbage dumplings 韭菜和白菜饺子</b></i></div>
<br />
Homemade dumplings skin and rich stuffing. Dip into the vinegar and ginger, it was perfect<br />
Based on my personal taste bud, I like their dumplings very much! Chives or cabbage, I grabbed both! This is one of the recommended dumplings you should order!<br />
<br />
Beside the dishes above, we did ordered some of the Teppanyaki dishes from the restaurant...chicken, lamb and beef.<br />
<br />

But now I came across this <span style="color: blue;"><b>Japanese fried chicken</b></span> which is just started at Taman Molek, JB...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Kaede Ikuza Japanese Restaurant</b></span> <span style="color: blue;"><b>(<a href="https://www.google.com.my/maps/place/1%C2%B031%2727.4%22N+103%C2%B047%2707.4%22E/@1.52428,103.7854,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0?hl=en">N1.52428 E103.78540</a>)</b></span> is located along Jalan Molek 1/28, next to the <b>Mama Nyonya Food Restaurant.</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Kaede Ikuza Japanese Restaurant</b></i></div>
<br />
The setting is as simple as the local 'kopitiam' style, kitchen just next to the dining area. And yes, the prices also follow the 'kopitiam' price. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
As far as I know, this is the 'first' Japanese kopitiam available in Johor Bahru. Most of the Japanese restaurants are well decorated with air-conditioning in Johor Bahru, but this is really something new to the JB market.<br />
The imported fruits from Japan also available from the restaurant, as you can see from the photos below...<br />
<br />

<b>All foods were tasty!</b><br />
I like the <span style="color: blue;"><b>'boneless Karaage chicken'</b></span> very much! Maybe because we already familiar with the fried chicken taste surrounding us, and this was really new and nice! The <span style="color: blue;"><b>spicy cucumber</b></span> got my attention too, the Japanese recipe of the sauce was unique, we all like it!<br />
<br />
All the foods serve in this restaurant are having reasonable price, about <span style="color: blue;"><b>RM10-20</b></span>, that means we can enjoy the Japanese food by the Japanese chef with the street food price! No kidding!<br />
<br />
The restaurant was operating by <b>90%</b> of the Japanese, and the kitchen too. This is another new to Johor Bahru, because most of the Japanese restaurants within JB only the chef or the owner are <b>'Nihonjin'</b>...other are local or foreign workers...I was impressed. We visited on the first day operation of the restaurant, and it was full of Japanese. Great!<br />
<br />
The photos of the Chefs (or so called the <b>spirits of the kitchen</b>) on duty!<br />

<br />
As Pak Uji said, they called this type of market <b>'7-11'</b>. But it's not similar to the convenience stall we familiar with, <b>7-11</b> is the operating or business hour of the market...means 7-11am.<br />
<br />
Before we step into the market, there was a row horse-drawn carriage called <b>'Cidomo'</b>, use as a short distance public transport for the locals.<br />
<br />

After about an hour, we came to the end of the dry market...unfortunately the time was not allow for us to continue to the wet session.<br />
<br />
Another type of public transport spotted at the exit, it looks like <b>'Angkot'</b> from Jakarta but with a smaller capacity...too bad I forgot to get the name of it...<br />

The owner of the cafe was friendly and he introduced some of their authentic Taiwanese dishes for us...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>* Taiwanese scallion pancake - 蔥油饼</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>* Braised pork rice - 控肉饭 (recommended)</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>* Taiwanese beef noodle - 台湾红烧牛肉麵</b></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><b>* Rainbow dumplings - 七彩水饺 </b></span><span style="color: blue;"><b>(recommended)</b></span><br />
<br />
Really appreciated for the recommendation, we like some of the dishes very much! But some were mediocre...<br />
<br />
The <span style="color: blue;"><b>Taiwanese scallion pancake - </b><b>蔥油饼 </b></span>was served slightly dry and the scallion was too little, but the sauce was nice.<br />

The <span style="color: blue;"><b>beef noodle </b><b>台湾红烧牛肉麵</b></span><i><b> </b></i>was taste average, but the homemade noodle was nice and springy. Strongly recommended on the noodle.<br />

The taste of the <span style="color: blue;"><b>minced pork homemade noodle</b> <b>卤肉手工麵</b></span><i><b> </b></i>was 'authentic' and delicious! It served the similar taste that I had in Taipei, oh...this noodle really made me missed my days in Taipei...<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Each of them had different taste where you can enjoy the delicious dumplings one-by-one slowly...</span></span><br />

<br />
Overall, the foods were <span style="color: blue;"><b>nice and tasty</b></span>. Some of them need some adjustment to suit the public taste, or it just my personal opinions. But the bottom line is...the price is very <span style="color: blue;"><b>reasonable!</b></span> You may say, it's cheap and good! Go and try it out yourself with all these affordable Taiwanese Cuisines at <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Tai Zhi Wei 台之味</b></span>, Taman Sutera Utama.<br />
<br />
Beside the foods, I would like to highlight the lemon juice. The lemon they use was not the local normal lemon, the taste was super refreshing! It's a good way to cool you down under the hot weather.<br />

<br />
After a while, everyone food was served on table, pretty fast! Everyone has same dish which was the chicken soup, followed by their signature grilled lamb. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Chicken soup</b></i></div>
<br />
The soup was tasty, and somehow a bit unique of the taste. I quite like it.<br />
<br />
The grilled lamb was well marinated, but not tender enough...maybe due to the power failure...maybe...but we enjoyed the lamb very much!<br />
It taste differently compare with Arab cuisine in Malaysia, I believe all because of the different herbs and spices were use to prepared.<br />
<br />

I'm not good to verdict in Arabian cuisine, but our dinner was taste above average. It's worth to try if you are happen in <b>Mataram, Lombok Island</b>.<br />

The restaurant has ample parking lot, even for express bus...we realized it after the electricity resume.<br />

It was low tide while we were back, and we had to stop at the other site of the jetty and walking back to the jetty where we parked our party van. There were many star fishes along the beach, every 5 steps...you will see one star fish laying on the beach...<br />

So we moved to the next island for late lunch - The <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Nirvana Beach restaurant</b></span> at <span style="color: blue;"><b>Gili Sudak</b></span>. <span style="color: blue;"><b>(<a href="https://www.google.com.my/maps/place/8%C2%B043%2732.7%22S+116%C2%B001%2739.8%22E/@-8.72575,116.02772,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0?hl=en">S8.72575 E116.02772</a>)</b></span><br />
<br />
The area was nice and the restaurant is just situated next to the beach. A simple timber style setup, but the attraction is the surrounding...<br />
<br />

<br />
Once we settled with everyone bags and belonging, we started to snapped around...the BBQ of tropical colourful parrot fish became our main attraction!<br />
<br />

<br />
Our fellow tour mate - <span style="color: blue;"><b>Sock Peng</b></span> (<a href="http://mylovelybluesky.com/">http://mylovelybluesky.com/</a>) was helping the BBQ preparation...haha!<br />
<br />
While waiting for the lunch to be serve, the corns soup was ready for everyone in the restaurant. All of us can't wait to try out the Lombok food at the restaurant...actually, we were starving...:)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Before we finish the soup, other delicacies like veggies and toufu were ready at the serving counter...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
For every dishes we chose, don't forget to taste some of their magic cut chili, which was super hot! I like it very much!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>The cut chili and local sambal</b></i></div>
<br />
One fish for one person (or more).<br />
All of us enjoyed each of the BBQ parrot fish and some of us took 2...the fish was fresh and I believe only BBQ with a little salt which made perfect of the taste!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s119.photobucket.com/user/robojsl/media/IndoDay1/Lombok/NirvanaBeachRest/IMG_3315_zps861f70f7.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_3315_zps861f70f7.jpg" border="0" src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o160/robojsl/IndoDay1/Lombok/NirvanaBeachRest/IMG_3315_zps861f70f7.jpg" /></a></div>

<br />
End up, I couldn't resist myself to had another BBQ parrot fish...oh! it was excellent!<br />
<br />
We took more than 2 hours to enjoyed the scene and our fabulous lunch along the beach of <span style="color: blue;"><b>Gili Sudak</b></span>, it was a unforgettable experience, especially with the friendly staffs in the restaurant.<br />
<b>Recommended for the first time visitor to Lombok island!</b><br />

<i><b>Everyone had their nice pose before getting wet...</b></i></div>
<br />
The best part of snorkeling in Gili Nanggu was, we no need to swim far away from the island, you can really enjoy the corals and the colorful tropical fish approximately around 10 meter from the beach.<br />
This was Great!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
You can see from the photo above that our snorkeling activities was only nearby the beach. This proved that the area is really unpolluted.<br />
<br />
I was enjoyed my walk around the island for photo taking, the jetty was my favorite place of the island.<br />

The first stop in our itinerary was snorkeling at <span style="color: blue;"><b>Gili Nanggu</b></span> (Gili means island in Indonesia language). <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Tawun jetty</b></span> <span style="color: blue;"><b>(<a href="https://www.google.com.my/maps/place/8%C2%B044%2741.0%22S+116%C2%B001%2711.9%22E/@-8.74473,116.01998,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0?hl=en">S8.74473 E116.01998</a>)</b></span> seems to be the only jetty ferrying visitors to the Nanggu island.<br />
<br />
The jetty area is only a small hut with the snorkeling gears...<br />

When our 'party van' almost reach the jetty, I noticed there were many BBQ fish stall <span style="color: blue;"><b>(<a href="https://www.google.com.my/maps/place/8%C2%B044%2741.0%22S+116%C2%B001%2711.9%22E/@-8.74473,116.01998,13z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0?hl=en">S8.74473 E116.01998</a>)</b></span> along the road. Because of the curiosity, me and one of the team mate walked the stall immediately after the van stop.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s119.photobucket.com/user/robojsl/media/IndoDay1/Lombok/GrilledFishStall/IMG_3170_zps054fbee5.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_3170_zps054fbee5.jpg" border="0" src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o160/robojsl/IndoDay1/Lombok/GrilledFishStall/IMG_3170_zps054fbee5.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>BBQ fish</b></i></div>
<br />
The lady owner of the stall was friendly, we politely told her that we want to take some photos of her BBQ fishes, she agree instantly.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s119.photobucket.com/user/robojsl/media/IndoDay1/Lombok/GrilledFishStall/IMG_3168_zpsd8cfc42b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_3168_zpsd8cfc42b.jpg" border="0" src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o160/robojsl/IndoDay1/Lombok/GrilledFishStall/IMG_3168_zpsd8cfc42b.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>The lady owner of the BBQ fish stall showed the big fish on her hand</b></i></div>
<br />
I like the fragrant of the BBQ fish, too bad we just had our breakfast and really can't have this big fish anymore...otherwise, I'll definitely try it!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s119.photobucket.com/user/robojsl/media/IndoDay1/Lombok/GrilledFishStall/IMG_3172_zps73e7582f.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_3172_zps73e7582f.jpg" border="0" src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o160/robojsl/IndoDay1/Lombok/GrilledFishStall/IMG_3172_zps73e7582f.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>The BBQ fish were ready to customer</b></i></div>
<br />
I couldn't understand when the lady owner tried to explain on the ingredients and the herbs they use to marinate the fish...too bad that we only communicate in the hand language...<br />
But I can smell the delicious of the fish... <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s119.photobucket.com/user/robojsl/media/IndoDay1/Lombok/GrilledFishStall/IMG_3174_zpsad79ce99.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_3174_zpsad79ce99.jpg" border="0" src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o160/robojsl/IndoDay1/Lombok/GrilledFishStall/IMG_3174_zpsad79ce99.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>She was showing the big fish...</b></i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I was too tempted by the fish and keep taking photos even without having it and also forgot to ask for the price of the fish. But I believe it won't be expansive...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s119.photobucket.com/user/robojsl/media/IndoDay1/Lombok/GrilledFishStall/IMG_3177_zps44d97783.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_3177_zps44d97783.jpg" border="0" src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o160/robojsl/IndoDay1/Lombok/GrilledFishStall/IMG_3177_zps44d97783.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I promise myself that, I will definitely go back to Lombok island again and I won't miss this BBQ big fish on my next visit! I'm very sure! Haha!<br />

<br />
The photos turn out to be quite satisfied. This was unexpected!<br />
<br />
By walking back to the restaurant of the resort, I tried another long exposure for 10 sec to capture the resort included the mythical Twin Peak as a backdrop. Well, I like the photo!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort during the evening</b></i></div>
<br />
By looking at the Twin Peak that moment, I felt some mysteries behind and understand the reason peoples in the island call - <span style="color: blue;"><b>Mythical Twin Peak</b></span>.<br />
<br />
I joined the party at the restaurant after the above photo taken...<br />

The trail starting point is within the Villas area...<br />

<br />
There was a guide for our group and he was friendly and clearly explained the trail condition to us before we trekking start. Understand from the guide, there are 3 hiking trail to 2 mountains, 1 hike to waterfall and the 1 trekking trail available for guest to choose from.<br />
<br />
After the registered in the log book, our trail started...<br />
<br />

<br />
Direction signage was easily spotted along the way, you won't be lost if you are those regular trekker. Anyway, the trekking trail is covered by the GSM signal from <b>Telco - Digi</b>.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>The huge monkey nest spotted...</b></i></div>
<br />
After short while of the ascending trail, that really made us exhausted...<br />
<br />
Everyone was shocked initially (photo below) when seeing this! Then we realized that were the roots...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
It was exciting climbed over the rocks and trees one-by-one...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>150m to go...</b></i></div>
<br />
When I saw this "150m to go", I was totally exhausted...but majority of our team mates still insisted to complete the trail to the observation tower which is the end point of the trail, so some of us decided to rest and some of us continued...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s119.photobucket.com/user/robojsl/media/JB%20Town/Tioman/JungleTrek/IMG_4126_zpsa35846d3.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_4126_zpsa35846d3.jpg" border="0" src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o160/robojsl/JB%20Town/Tioman/JungleTrek/IMG_4126_zpsa35846d3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Trail continues...</b></i></div>
<br />
The jungle trekking was fun and excited. We completed the trail in one hour with 5 minutes rest at multi points...it was also a good exercise for us before our lunch at the resort. Too bad I didn't record down the track from the start till the end point. Anyway, we enjoyed very much!<br />
<br />
It's advise to take the trekking activities during your vacation in <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Tunamaya Resort</b></span>, it will really sweat you in this tropical forest! :)<br />

<br />
Among all the seafood, the BBQ squids were superb! The repeat order from our table seems non-stop that evening!<br />
<br />
All the food served by the resort were good, some average and some were really nice! Satisfied! Beside that, the snacks and kuihs serve during the afternoon tea breaks were yummy too! Too bad I didn't take any photos of it.<br />
<br />
The restaurant was having different feeling during the daytime and evening, it was comfortable during the daytime and cozy in the evening.<br />

The resort had just established a year ago, and the surrounding is so nature and not polluted. The white sandy beach accompany with the crystal clear water, the mythical Twin Peaks as the backdrop of the resort...everything painted a beautiful picture in front of us, it's almost heaven! That's the reason of their resort's slogan - <span style="color: blue;"><b>"Between heaven and earth."</b></span> <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>The crystal clear water at the jetty</b></i></div>
<br />
The Tunamaya's staffs had a warm welcome for us at the jetty...song, music and friendly smiles. Suddenly I heard : <span style="color: blue;"><b>"Welcome to fantasy island!"</b></span> said by the Resort Manager - <b>Mr Paul Cheah</b>. The phrase remind me of Mr Roarke from the American TV series of 1977 - <b>The Fantasy Island</b>, which was one of my favorite series. Kind of traveling to the past...haha!<br />
<br />
By walking towards the lobby from the jetty, I was amazed by the marvelous view of the resort...seems like 'guarded' by the Legendary Twin Peaks behind it.<br />

According to <b>Mr Paul</b> (Resort Manager), the drinking water in the room is the natural water from the waterfall of the island. This is one of the <b>best</b> drinking water I had among all the resort I visited before.<br />
As I noticed, the room was equipped with all the quality product like electrical switch, toiletries and many more...<br />

After we settled our bags and luggages, it was free and easy session...we walked around the resort.<br />

<br />

<br />
The room services are twice a day, that means every morning you took your shower and out for activities, once you back in the afternoon or evening, everything is being arranged. Impressed!<br />
<br />
We were hanged out around the <span style="color: blue;"><b>Ombak Bar</b></span> for the afternoon session, just to grabbed a glass of <span style="color: blue;"><b>Budweiser</b></span> beer to cool ourselves down...<br />

Some history of <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort</b></span> :-<br />
The resort established about a year ago, we view through their video where everything constructed from zero. One of the partner - <b>Mr Gan</b> was from Penang, explained to us about the story behind the name of the resort. He said before they name the resort, another partner has a resort at Perhentian Island - <span style="color: blue;"><b>The Tuna Bay Resort</b></span>. That's why the word <b>'Tuna'</b> is mentioned here, and <b>'maya'</b> is the national language of <b>'mythical'</b>, it means the mysteries, mythical of the Legendary Twin Peaks just situated exactly as a backdrop of the resort. At last, we understand the name of the resort is nothing to do with the Tuna fish...<br />

The view along the ferry ride was breathtaking!<br />
<br />
Let me share some of the photos with you...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>The jetty at Tekek town</b></i></div>
<br />
All of us were waiting at the jetty, and the ferry arrived less than 5 minutes...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Inside the ferry was spacious and comfort...<br />
<br />
The weather was good that day, the sky was so blue and the ocean too...the view was excellent once the ferry sailed out from the Tekek jetty...<br />

<br />
About 5 minutes, our ferry passed by <span style="color: blue;"><b>The Berjaya Resort</b></span> at Tioman Island. It's easy to spot the resort by looking at the small rock island along the way...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s119.photobucket.com/user/robojsl/media/JB%20Town/Tioman/Ferryride/IMG_3943_zps5a4133fb.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_3943_zps5a4133fb.jpg" border="0" src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o160/robojsl/JB%20Town/Tioman/Ferryride/IMG_3943_zps5a4133fb.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>You will notice this small island before the Berjaya Resort</b></i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Part of the Berjaya Resort of Tioman Island</b></i></div>
<br />
After 25 minutes, we noticed one of the rock mountain in front of us...that means we had reached the southern part of Tioman island...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s119.photobucket.com/user/robojsl/media/JB%20Town/Tioman/Ferryride/IMG_3953_zps147dd886.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_3953_zps147dd886.jpg" border="0" src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o160/robojsl/JB%20Town/Tioman/Ferryride/IMG_3953_zps147dd886.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
And few minutes later, I saw the <span style="color: blue;"><b>'Legendary Mythical Twin Peak'</b></span> of Tioman island...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s119.photobucket.com/user/robojsl/media/JB%20Town/Tioman/Ferryride/IMG_3958_zps47b1ce9e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_3958_zps47b1ce9e.jpg" border="0" src="http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o160/robojsl/JB%20Town/Tioman/Ferryride/IMG_3958_zps47b1ce9e.jpg" /></a></div>

Very special and unique appetizer I ever have in Johor Bahru. The frittata taste with a few combination of eggs, duck bacon, veggie and cheese. It difficult to describe the tastiness until you try it yourself.<br />

<br />

<br />
The mixture of these 3 cold drinks were exceptional, it's the effort and the magic touch of Chef Jayson for the special festive season. Beside the cold drinks, they also serve hot Chamomile, pepper mint and Jasmine green tea.<br />
<br />
Among all the 3 main courses, I prefer the <b>duck leg</b>. Because the dish is not common, and it's difficult to catch the chance that serve by the restaurant. And for the cold drinks, I chose the Vanilla lime soda - it was so refreshing!<br />

<br />
The arrangement was perfect by the Tunamaya staffs, the check-in process for taking the private chartered flight from Senai airport to Tioman airport was smooth. Once the baggage check, we walked through the private lane way to the plane.<br />
<br />
It was my first time flying on this <b>Cessna 208B Grand Caravan</b>, the plane had change and refurbished into a luxury seats and facility. We can rotate the seat for 180 degrees which convenience for discussion among the passengers.<br />

<br />
The restaurant is suitable for family, friends gathering and also couples. The soft music was playing during we waiting for our food...<br />
<br />
Each of us had a plate of mushroom soup and garlic bread complimentary from the restaurant, this is also the <span style="color: blue;"><b>'Ratatouille culture'</b></span> since they started from the small stall in the kopitiam (Hokkien dialect means : food court).<br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Aglio e olio</b></span><br />
The spaghetti was well prepared with the fragrance olive oil and garlic. The spaghetti was not overcook and we all like the <i>springy-ness</i> of it, I like the taste of the olive oil very much. The dish was just nice to my liking. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Bolognaise</b></span><br />
Served with fresh minced beef, cooked with their homemade tomato sauce. Creamy cheese but won't stop us to finish it. Another signature from Ratatouille La Gourmet.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Chicken cordon bleu</b></span><br />
This is a common dish easily available in western restaurant around Johor Bahru area. But the Chef of Ratatouille prepared the chicken so tender and succulent unlike others made it too dry, every pieces of the chicken went well with the cheese!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>BBQ Pork ribs</b></span><br />
Well control of the heat where the ribs were tender and yummy! It served with their own recipe of BBQ sauce and you got to try it yourself!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Grilled pork chop</b></span><br />
This was the surprised for the night! The pork chop served with moist, well done and delicious! It is difficult to have a nice pork chop around Johor Bahru area, but this was definitely scored the highest marks of that evening! Well marinated and good control of the heat, must not miss this for the pork chop lover!<br />
<br />
The lovely dessert served after our main courses...they were same as their Adda Heights outlet, tasty!<br />

<br />
Beside the dishes above, they do serve Roast herb coated lamb rack, Pan seared Norwegian salmon, Mixed grilled platter and many more...all dishes are reasonable price.<br />
<br />
The different of this outlet compare with <a href="http://j-travel.blogspot.com/2014/10/ratatouille-la-gourmet-tea-room-bar.html">Adda Heights</a> outlet is...Adda Heights serve beef but no pork, Austin Heights serve pork but no beef.<br />
<br />
It was a awesome dinner for all of us! Thanks and appreciated for creative and excellent Chef from <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Ratatouille La Gourmet Austin Heights</b></span>.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Ikan sambal garing (Fried mackerel fish with Nyonya sambal)</b></i></div>
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Fish in brown sauce</b></span><br />
- One of the special taste which you can slowly differentiate the sweet, sour, slight salty and spicy-ness of the fish in your mouth. The authentic mixture of Nyonya ingredients were great and we all like it!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Itik Sioh (duck)</b></span><br />
- This was the first time tasting this authentic Nyonya Itik Sioh out of Malacca town. The gravy was tasty and really went well with plain rice. The duck was tender and succulent.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Fish maw soup</b></span><br />
- The fish maw soup served with salted veggie, mushroom and chicken. Tasty and enjoyed the soup. The fish maw was prepared from raw by the restaurant, and it was fresh.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Portuguese style steam sotong (squids)</b></span><br />
- Another Portuguese dish that we tried out of Malacca town. The ingredients were unique, spicy and sour, provided a different taste from local Johor Bahru town. The squids were steamed to perfection.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Battered eggplants in sauce</b></span><br />
- One of the 'very special' dish we had! Eggplant prepared with bean paste, it was crispy on the skin and juicy inside. Unforgettable! All of us like it very much!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Itik Tim (duck)</b></span><br />
- Another Nyonya signature dish, cooked with authentic Nyonya recipe as home dish during the old era, we were fortunate enough to taste it today. Appreciated.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Ikan sambal garing (Fried mackerel fish with Nyonya sambal)</b></span><br />
- The fried mackerel fish was different from those available in the nasi lemak stall, it was really crispy and fragrance on the skin and moist inside. The sambal served with the fishes was the best combination!<br />
<br />
They served the plain rice in the antique basket (correct me if I'm wrong) with the feel of rich Nyonya touch. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
All the dishes enough to ease our Nyonya temptation for the evening. Satisfied dinner in the comfort environment, not to forget the friendly owner (boss and lady boss) which remind me of the <span style="color: blue;"><b>Nyonya culture</b></span>.<br />
<br />
Beside the new dishes, they also serve the Nyonya style breakfast in the morning session.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Nyonya Lontong</b></i></div>
<br />
They also serve nasi lemak and other noodles which I didn't take the photos.<br />
Among all, I like the Nyonya mee-suah and Nyonya Lontong very much! This 2 dishes are really unique within Johor Bahru area.<br />
<br />
As all of us rated, <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Mama Nyonya FOOD Restaurant</b></span> is one of the worth visit restaurant in Johor Bahru.<br />

This is one of the island which I won't get boring despite how many times I visit, beside the crystal clear water, the island also has many jungle trekking and hiking trails.<br />
<br />

We were the privileged few to experience the new package which officially launch on <b>20th December 2014</b>. The package included the 45 minutes private chartered flight (Cessna 208B Grand Caravan) from Sultan Ismail International Airport Senai to Tekek Airport Tioman Island, that made us excited because it was a inaugural flight from Senai to Tioman. (90 minutes flight from Subang to Tioman island)<br />

The trip was excellent, all of us enjoyed very much!<br />
The resort was clean with lush of greenery surrounded, employees were really helpful and friendly, all the basic facilities available within the resort and a 'bearable' speed of wireless internet service accessible around the reception area. <span style="color: blue;"><b>Mr Paul Cheah</b></span>, the Resort Manager of Tunamaya said, please feel free to enjoy the facilities and relax in the fantasy island, don't always check or look into the smart phone and Ipad...that's the reason of the 'bearable' speed of internet access in the resort. Well, we AGREE!<br />
<br />

We had a chat with the friendly resort owner - <span style="color: blue;"><b>Mr Gan</b></span> after the dinner. Understand that <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Tunamaya</b></span> was built from scratch 2 years ago, the partners of resort chose the piece of land because of the mystical <b>'Twin peaks'</b> as a backdrop of the resort.<br />
As the <span style="color: #990000;"><b>'Tunamaya'</b></span> was named by the reason of one of the partner owned another <span style="color: blue;"><b>'Tunabay'</b></span> resort in <span style="color: blue;"><b>Perhentian island</b></span>, and the followed by the word <b>'Maya'</b> means mystical in the national language of Malaysia.<br />

<br />
It is a hassle free, relax vacation compare with other rushing tour. Relax yourself and choose each activity within the island as you wish, rather than rushing from places to places with limited time from early morning and exhausted-ly back to hotel in the late evening, some of my friends wisely said...<br />
<br />
<b>I will definitely visit Tunamaya again!</b><br />

A relax and comfort tea area next to the rooms...they provide good imported Chinese tea for their guests, too bad I'm not a Chinese tea lover and can't comment much...<br />
<br />
In the middle of the both side, there's a nice corridor for all the rooms. As for me, this was a colourful corridor for photography!<br />

The King's bedroom with the garden view. The attached bathroom is slightly wider and we understand that it's all in the container, we won't ask for much more bigger room space. :)<br />

<i><b>The dining area...</b></i></div>
<br />
The dining area was transformed to a nice, comfort and relax area during the night fall...we had our dinner in the restaurant that evening and I'll blog about soon. Anyway, delicious food!<br />
<br />
Beside that, they also serve local food for breakfast and lunch around the containers. <br />
<br />
We had a pleasant stayed for 2 days 1 night weekend getaway! Experienced the container stay, which was just enough space for ourselves in the clean and comfortable environment! I will recommend to my friends who want to experience the relax and mind free staying!<br />
<br />
Our package was breakfast included and car wash is provide if you drive.<br />
<br />
It's a private area and whole Bangkok Village is lock after midnight, where the safety is concern. Please visit their facebook page for the latest promotion rate or visit the following online agents : expedia.com.my, booking.com and agoda.com<br />
