Gaya Island Resort Day 3 - Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

-
Time flies and it's our final day here at Gaya Island Resort. Two days in a row we had our buffet breakfast at Feast Village. As mentioned in my previous blog, we booked a 3 days 2 night Residents package which includes daily buffet breakfast and dinner at Feast Village and two-course lunch at Feast Village or Pool Bar & Lounger or Tavajun Bay. You may check out my earlier blog as per below link:

c) Gaya Island Resort Day 2

Buffet breakfast at Feast Village starts from 7am to 10.30am. Feast Village serves both Western and Asian dishes. Instead of having my favourite fried egg with baked bean, I had porridge instead. It was good. It feels good to have hot porridge in the morning and a healthy way to start the day. :) Besides that, they serves freshly squeezed juices as well.

We checked out from the resort at 11.30am and had our two-course lunch at Feast Village before we took the 3pm speedboat back to Jesselton Point. We get to choose either an appetizer and a main course or a main course with a dessert. Since we were still quite full from our earlier buffet breakfast we chose a main course and a dessert. My partner had grilled tenderloin while I had grilled fillet catch of the day. Beef was good. It's tender, juicy and cooked to perfection without any blood. Whereas my grilled fillet was fresh and tasty.

However, we were a bit disappointed when they served us the dessert. My partner ordered banana split and when the ice cream came, it's already melted. (you may choose either chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, coconut, durian or banana ice cream / calamansi, lemongrass, lemon or raspberry sherbet) Suppose I wanted to order the same dessert but I ended up with cheese cake instead. Overall we enjoyed our main course very much but not the melted ice cream. We had a great stay and a very relaxing vacation. Staff were so friendly and they make us feel so welcome...

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
