Chapman's Bar @ Emerald Bay, YTL Pangkor Laut

Monday morning, as i put on my pair of pants and secured the button, i immediately felt my face turning white. My lungs were breathing away but i realised the congestion started at the waist. As i stared at the love handles climbing out for air (apparently someone's favourite past time), god forbid how did i do this to myself?

Then i realised, just last week, all i was exposed to, were this kind of scenery.

Taken at Chapman's Bar towards sun set. I just realised a couple is swimming in the seas, are they really JUST swimming?

A killer and at the same time it whets your appetite like a whale.

With ridiculous price tags that would give you a heart attack and make you regret that you didn't take any cup noodles to the island before consoling you when you are at your last breath (or so you thought) by telling you that it is all included in the exorbitant package you already (or in my case the Girlfriend) forked out.

For once, numbers didn't mean anything as it was free for all during lunch.

But when that memory of that soft bed and pillows pops out like the girl did from the TV in Ju-On, you hurry up the meal and tell yourself dinner is in another 4 hours time.

Messed up but who cares? You get someone to make your bed twice a day!

Taking the van to Emerald Bay, the beach where people swim and laze around with story books, we had our first meal here. The people just seemed overfriendly compared to people in KL but we took it with good faith (i mean after all not everyone is like that right?) as well as i was starving.

RM 50 for a Hainan Chicken Rice? Well what would you expect? To be served in an isolated island, you must remember. Then again numbers don't mean anything. It came in a huge portion (the whole breast with the chicken wing) and was quickly devoured along with the ginger and chilli paste. The rice was well flavoured with chicken stock and i started to feel like i was truly in paradise.

The Girlfriend had something light; a Lamb Pita. The Pita Bread was stuffed to the brim with lamb pieces, capsicums and a mayo based dressing. Served on the side was fresh guacomole (avocado pulp/mash), we added onto the brimful pita bread and ate along with the chips. Oh yeah, RM45 if you want to buy it outright without the package.

By now, i gave up on dessert as i looked forward to dinner and my bed.

Fine, its more like the pictures are still crawling their way onto my Flickr as i shall try in my next entry; 3 meals a day on Pangkor Laut.

Till then.
