Malaysian holiday - Part I

Our holiday to Pangkor Laut Resort was booked a few months ago, and we were very fortunate that Grumpy's sister found us a package that includes accommodation and all meals at such a reasonable price.  Another bonus was when my dad offered to drive us all the way up to Pangkor on Tuesday (and then he drove back home), and on Thursday, he drove up again to pick us up and take us home.

We stopped by at Bidor, which is our usual place for wantan mee. It was Grumpy's first time, and he ordered all his meals in the largest portion available.

Three hours after leaving from KL, we arrive at the private jetty exclusively for Pangkor Laut Resort guests. It was very posh and we had people greet us and help carry our luggage! 

My husband resting with my floppy hat.. there were hardly any guests, so we felt like we had the entire jetty to ourselves.

We got on a 15 minute boat ride from the jetty to the actual resort, and then it was straight to lunch by the beach.

Here are pictures of our room. I loved everything about the room, it was clean and so comfortable! I loved the Malay traditional theme as well.

The bath!

The view from our very spacious balcony.

Not long after we settled into our rooms, I rushed Grumpy to get changed and immediately we jumped into the main pool! This is the view from the pool. How amazing is this view?! We took naps by the pool, while sipping on drinks.. Couldn't possibly ask for more.

Soon it was time for dinner, and so we left the pool to go back to our room to take a shower. On our way back, we bumped into a hornbill. My first encounter with this tropical bird! A tiny version compared to the hornbills I normally see in the Sarawak tourism ads, but still good enough for me!

This resort is actually very old (Grumpy has been here before as a kid), but considering this resort is YTL owned, the place is still kept in excellent condition and has everything you would expect out of a 5-star resort.

Our first night, we chose to have a Malay dinner.

It was quite good, we had a bit of everything - veggie curry, fish curry, sambal prawns, curry chicken and beef rendang with pilau rice.

After dinner, we got back to our room, and room service has prepared our beds for the night, cleaned up and even lit this incense, which has a very soothing feeling, and also keeps away the mozzies.

Okay, it is really bed time for me! Good night!
