Fantastic!
What I like:
spanner crab - sweet but difficult to get the meat out
abalone salad - best servings - sweet and not too tough - had 4 servings
lobster salad - I only took a small serving as there is very little lobster
peking duck with crepe - my favourite - took 4 servings too
salmon sashimi - fresh -took 4 slices
abalone fried rice - took a small serving - nice
yam paste dessert - smooth and nice
free flow of red wine - took 3 cups
free flow of drinks - took 1 fruit punch and 1 lime juice
cheese cake - thick and creamy the traditional way
sharkfin soup taste nice though hardly any sharkfin - mainly crabmeat
double boil chicken with ginseng - not too thick
What I do not quite like:
crab tanghoon-too much pepper
grilled crayfish - too much garlic
fried yam and durian fritter - cold and not crispy
the blue cocktail - too minty
grilled shisamo - took 4 - only 1 is full of roe which I like
coffee - the eastern type is a bit bitter , will try the other one in my next visit
crocodile soup - funny taste
scallop with tomato - too sweet
scallop with cheese - not as creamy as the Hotate Mentalyaki which I like from the Japanese restaurants.
My husband took a lot of the oysters - big and juicy.

National Day is approaching - do you have any birthday wish for our nation? Visit http://www.ndpeeps.com/ Join in the fun with the new media platforms such as facebook, fickr, youtube, blogs etc
This year's theme is “Come Together – Reaching Out, Reaching Up” draws inspiration from our Pledge. It is about our coming together as ‘one united people’, to Reach Out to all Singaporeans regardless of ‘race, language or religion’, and to Reach Up towards our hopes and aspirations articulated when we pledge to ‘achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation.’ When times are tough, we know that Singaporeans will rally together, support each other and believe that things will work out fine.

Day 2 and 3 in Batam
The free internet connection was extremely slow so I did not post anything yesterday.
Guess what - I met one of my Sec 1 student when I was having breakfast in the hotel yesterday - what a small world! The breakfast spread was ok - esp the waffle.
We had lunch at Rumanya - local dishes such as goreng ayam, yong tau hoon beehoon and a sausage set. We bought quite a lot of clothes for our children and then we went for a hair cut and wash. The hair cut was only IRP7000 which is S$1! I decided to dye my hair as well as it is only IRP147,000 with the hair cut and wash. We had dinner at the hotel's steakhouse. The Angus steak was tender and delicious. I like the appertizer which is baked potato with tomato and cheese on top. I had nasi goreng - not as good as the street stall's and 10 times more costly! Also ordered sashimi and some late night supper which included satay - nice and tender but too much of a feast!
We went to the Vihara Budhi Bharkti temple (Tua Pek Kong Bio) and then to DC Mall. Another round of shopping with more shoes and clothings for the family - I must say the prices of items sold there were really cheap. The lunch inside a restaurant in the mall was also very economical - I ordered fried bee hoon and lontong with drinks all within IRP50,000!
However, I must say I am quite disappointed with Winspa's spa package. I had heard so much about it from the internet and booked a session. It was so pricey at IRP805,000 (around sS118)! I think it was much cheaper at the Harmoni hotel where we had the spa in 2007 - the bathtub was so much bigger and the flower bath etc were so romantic. I also enjoyed the body scrub at Formosa hotel last year for 3 hours and half the price! As for the massage, hubby still prefer the one at Sports Massage centre - only half the price -IRP420,ooo for the 2 of us for 3hours! However I must say the scrub and the masking did make my skin feel supersoft.. I think my greatest joy was finding the mobile stall just outside winspa selling fried fritters. The goreng pisang wasn't impressive but the one with cabbage was fantastic and so was the tahu goreng - only IRP1000 (15ct) each!
Equally disappointed with dinner at Golden Prawn - paid S$95 for the meal and was not impressed. Should have had dinner in the hotel - just realised that there is lobster in sky lounge for S$30 - almost the same price as Golden Prawn but baked like what we wanted! We took some cocktails and light snack there - the view was fascinating from the lounge! The photos I took at the sky lounge and in my room with my new hairstyle!

Greetings from Batam
I need to go for a break - so here I am in Batam!
Went to Nagoya hill for lunch and grabbed some titbits. Managed to buy 3 pairs of shoes and a sandal from Matahari - all for less than S$60! Checked into Planet Hotel and then went to Sports Massage Centre for a 3hr body and foot massage which cost me IRP 420000 (around $62 for 2). I have already booked a spa session for 2 on Mon at Winspa's which is going to cost me almost double IRP800000 (S$113). After the massage, we went to this roadside stall and had nasi goreng, ikan bakar, kangkong belachan and goreng ayam with 3 drinks for only IRP80000 (around $12)! We were hungry again back in the hotel and ordered room service, hokkien mee and seafood basket. Not too bad but I still prefered the street hawker's. Photos below: view from the balcony of my hotel room, my hotel room and the roadside stall we had our dinner.
