Scenic view along the journey from Tekek town to Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort, Tioman island.

Once we touched down the Tioman Airport, all of us been transported by Tunamaya ferry from Tekek town to Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort. The view along the ferry ride was breathtaking!

Let me share some of the photos with you...

About 5 minutes, our ferry passed by The Berjaya Resort at Tioman Island. It's easy to spot the resort by looking at the small rock island along the way...

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.

The duck leg confit was tender and yummy, the meat dropped off the bone easily, delicious!
We all like this special dish served by Menu Please Bistro and it's hard to find the same dish else where around Johor Bahru for the moment.

The braised lamb was tender and succulent. It served with the lamb jus which enhanced tastiness of the dish, you will love this if you are a lamb lover.

Tiramisu

Dessert - Tiramisu

Menu Please Bistro served one of the best Tiramisu within JB town. This was based of my individual taste bud.

Cold drinks
-  Double berries soda
-  Mango vanilla soda
-  Vanilla lime soda

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.

Among all the 3 main courses, I prefer the duck leg. 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!
