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...

The ferry was about to leave Tekek town...

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...

You will notice this small island before the Berjaya Resort

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...

And few minutes later, I saw the 'Legendary Mythical Twin Peak' of Tioman island...

Smoke turkey frittata and mini mushroom soup

Smoke turkey frittata and mini mushroom soup

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.

Pan seared salmon serves with pumpkin cream sauce and haricot vert

The salmon was cooked to perfection, the combination of the cream sauce was great!

Duck leg confit serves with slow baked orange and mash potato

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.

Australian lamb serves with natural lamb jus and butter glaze chestnut

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!

Select your choices from the Menu, enjoy the Christmas meal in Menu Please Bistro.

Flying on the Cessna C208B Grand Caravan from Senai airport to Tioman Island

We reached the Senai International Airport before dawn, because need to group with others before our departure...

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.

It was my first time flying on this Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, 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.

The weather of that day was good and the take-off was comfort.
This was my first time enjoying chatting with my friend and browse through the social media app in the plane...
Let me show you the breathtaking view along the way...

The background was the mystery Linggiu dam...it was also the where the Srivijaya Empire started more than thousand years ago...as the legend said.

Beautiful green lake in the middle of the jungle...

I wondered this might be some kind of plantations...(photos above)

About 30 minutes later (around 8.35am), we were approaching Mersing town...

Leaving Mersing and towards South China sea...

The plane took around 15 minutes to cross the ocean, noticed from the GPS device in the cockpit...

After the plane flew through the clouds, the island appeared from the windows...the first scene was the 'legendary twin peaks' of Tioman Island. Yes, it is the landmark of Tioman.
