Honeymoon @ Finolhu Villas, Maldives - Part 1

这趟蜜月之旅,就快达一年之久了。再不分享,真的对不起大家。哈哈!

那时候去还可以乘搭马航,现在马航已经不再直飞马尔代夫了。记得那时飞往马尔代夫是晚上,搭了4个小时的飞机。马来西亚的时间比马尔代夫快3个小时。到达马尔代夫国际机场的时候,还在下着毛毛雨。机场真的不大。这里的机场安排了巴士把乘客送到机场入口处,这样大家就不需要冒着雨走到机场里了。

这就是我说的巴士。
很多旅客都同时抵达,等了好久才能顺利入境。还好机场不大,拿了行李,很快就出机场了。一到抵达厅,就看见Club Med的员工拿着写了我们名字的字牌。接待的员工很热情,很有礼貌。他带着我们走出机场,往码头的方向去。


整艘船就只有我们。无意间“包船”了呢!从机场外的码头到Finolhu Villas需要大约40分钟。由于是夜晚,就别想说有什么海景可以看了,向左向右看都是乌漆麻黑的,而且风很大,都快把我吹走了。


到达Finolhu的“码头”的时候,就已经有几位员工在那儿等候我们了。欢迎我们的方式就是请我们喝迎宾饮料,跟我们讲解了一下关于Finolhu,然后就有“专车”- buggy,送我们到房间去。“司机”还一路为我们介绍这个地方。

到达马尔代夫的心情就是-超兴奋!


门打开后,上看下看就看见了桌上有好丰盛的食物已经在房里等待着我们的到来。是Finolhu为我们准备的宵夜。多贴心啊~~ 虽然飞机餐还满满的存在在肚子里,但,还是得把饭店的心意硬硬再挤进肚子里,哈哈~~

随在我们之后到达的就是刚刚在饭店码头见过的员工。他的名字叫Kelly,男的。他是我们在Finolhu这几天的G.O. (Gentle Organiser), 他的工作就是负责款待我们,我们有什么疑问、有什么节目想安排或特别要求,都可以找他。

服务好到可以帮我们整理行李箱,心想,我们又不是什么大人物,不需要吧,更何况,整理老公的行李箱这回事,应该是身为太太的我做的事吧,别跟我抢!嘻嘻!


Kelly大约跟我们讲解了一下Finolhu的设施,需要为入住手续填写的表格,带我们走了一圈顺便介绍一下我们的“房子”。其他的入住手续,就隔天才办。还真的没有试过,进房间了,才做check in的。

我们的蜜月配套有规定一定要至少5天4夜,我们选择的房套是日出水上别墅。凡是在结婚后一年内去度蜜月的夫妇,都可享用Club Med蜜月配套。我们这个Club Med Finolhu 蜜月配套是在Matta Fair 时向Holiday Tours购买的。很满意这一家旅行社的服务,细心且有效率。率先跟大家说,我今年的旅行也是去Club Med其中一家,也是跟Holiday Tours购买。我老公很喜欢Club Med,他说,因为不用烦吃喝,Club Med都包了。哈哈,这倒是真的,Club Med的价格都包括了3餐、下午茶,加上从早到晚在poolside bar的饮料。都是吃好的,喝好的,多棒!这个蜜月配套加上两个人的飞机票,总共2万,再多一点。

说回那个蜜月配套,包括了:欢迎礼物、1瓶香槟、别墅浪漫晚餐、室内花卉装饰、情侣水疗护理/潜水搜索、Club Med T恤、Club Med的氛围音乐光碟和一张情侣照片。

看看我们那5天4夜的房子吧!

看见床上那个心形中间的东西吗? 就是Club Med 送的 CD。好好听,都是很度假风的歌曲。

这里是梳妆台和衣柜

浴室好大

这个户外浴缸和日用床就在浴室和睡房隔壁。
这就是从睡房望出去的景色。无边际私人泳池!还有一望无际的海洋。超漂亮!
好啦,第一篇先让大家看到这儿。想要知道更多关于Finolhu Villa, 就要继续看下几篇咯~~

Nosh Up, Atria Shopping Gallery


重新装修后的Atria还真不错,尤其华人新年的布置,每个角落拍照都很好看。逛着逛着还找到了这家气氛看起来不错的餐厅 - Nosh Up。再看看menu,选择也不错,就决定试试看。菜色的搭配还蛮特别的。

Hot Chocolate with Marshmallow
饮料的选择也蛮不错。从热饮到冻饮,甚至还有mocktail。以上的热可可还蛮不错的,真的温温的,不像有些餐厅埲到你面前时热可可都变凉可可了。

Rosy, Raspberry Lychee
 荔枝饮料是mocktail的其中一个选择。

Duck Leg Confit with Orange Sauce RM38
 好久没吃 duck confit,最上一次吃过我觉得最好吃的是 Ploy 的。鸭腿肉嫩嫩的香香的,到现在我还在怀念。Nosh Up 的 duck confit 卖相看起来还不错吧!可是吃下去,却不是我想象的,呵呵,可能对 Ploy 的 duck confit 印象太深。总结,还不错吃的。

Crispy Lamb Shank RM39
有吃过炸的lamb shank 吗?我还是第一次。特别是特别,但还可以更好,总是觉得有一种羊苏味。只有外层是炸的,里面就是一贯焖嫩了的羊肉。


还提供情人节大餐配套呢!才 RM88 。还等什么?

用 Touch N Go 付费还有15%折扣呢!

Valentines @ The Steakhouse Hilton Kuching

A throwback blog post on the Valentines celebration at The Steakhouse, Hilton Kuching.


OOTD

Wanted to celebrate this day somewhere different and so, we decided to go back Kuching earlier to celebrate this day before the Chinese New Year.





The restaurant doesn't really makes me feel comfortable because the restaurant itself isn't that big and many tables and chairs were fitted in it. The tables were so near to each other. Well, nevermind it, I'm happy having dinner with my husband.


The Menu
Above is the menu and here's the starter - Trio Oyster which consist of fresh oyster, baked oyster and deep fried oyster.



Oh yes, they do served complimentary bread as well, and it's in heart shape! So sweet~~

Okay, here comes the second starter of the night - Slow Roasted Tomato Broth



We had both the main course so that we could try each of it.


Australia Black Angus Striploin Steak
Many comments complimenting their steak was the best in town. It was true! This is the best steak I ever had so far. You really have to try this when in Kuching. Superb!


Crab Meat and Cream Cheese Crusted Salmon Fillet
Compare to the steak, this is just so so. Nothing interesting.



It's cute isn't it? Very presentable desserts they served. Not to forget the Sorbet. I like it very much.




Two pieces of heart shape chocolate given by The Steakhouse

A photo taken by the waitress. A photo to be kept as a memory.


Thanks to my hubby for this photo
Each set of the course dinner cost RM 175 and these two glasses of drinks cost RM 45 each glass. Total cost for the whole dinner including tax is about RM 500.

Each couples were entitled to participate in the lucky draw which held on that night itself. It was a super lucky day that we got the second prize - A complimentary 2 days 1 night stay in Deluxe Room with Breakfast for 2!

Pre-Wedding Photoshoot

Selecting the right pre-wed photoshoot package is one of wedding preparation challenges. I think I've gone through thousands of photos and been sending many many email enquiries to collect all the information that I need.

In the end, I've chosen VanessaMoon Photography (VM) as they provide most of the things that a couple needs for the wedding. Makes my life easy to deal with only one service provider.

VM was operated by a couple of husband and wife, Kar Weng and Vanessa. The husband handles the customers' enquiries, photoshooting, and photos editing while the wife manages the gowns, bridal make-ups, and as the co-photographer. If you are interested to pay them a visit, do make an appointment in advanced as they may be out for pre-wed photoshoot.

I had my pre-wed photoshoot last year's April and I've selected 3 locations for my pre-wedding photoshoots - VanessaMoon Photography's studio, Grand Shanghai Food Theme Park @ SetiaWalk Puchong, and Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside.

Here's some of my pre-wedding photos. Will provide you more tips and advices after this.













Tips and advices:
1. You may collect some of the photos you like and show it to the photographer so they know what type of photos you would like to have. Same goes to your hairstyle, make up and gowns.

2. Your outdoor photoshoots destination can't be too far from each other if you would like to have more outdoor photoshoots. Discuss with your photographer. Take note that additional costs (transport and meals) may apply to outdoor photoshooting, do check with the bridal shops.

3. Photography service provider is not only serving you. So, don't always expect a perfect service from them. Take some initiative to do more follow up / do kind reminder to make sure your appointments were all done and correct.

4. Grand Shanghai is no longer a good choice for photoshooting.

5. Kindly contact Pullman to enquire about the pre-wed photoshoot terms and conditions in advanced. We had one night stay with them in a Superior Room with breakfast for two at RM 290.00 nett to get a permission to have photoshoots there. Why not? Relax yourselves after a long tiring day.

VM services are not bad, not to say very good. No man is perfect. :) 

If you would like to know more about them, kindly email me privately.
