Club Med Bali (Fine Dining in Batur Restaurant)

Previously:
Club Med Bali (Food - Part 2)

Club med is not only providing buffet meal at their main restaurant.  But here in Bali, they also have a specialty restaurant that served ala carte menu at dinner time called Batur Restaurant.

So, if you already stay for a few days in Club Med and starting to get bored with their buffet food.  Which is never happened to me though because they keep changing their menu every day.  Or if you are looking for something more fine and luxury meal, this is more likely the legitimate reason to try their fine dining menu in their specialty reataurant.  

Bread, salad and drinks are unlimitedly served in the corner of the room.  Please help yourself. 

The food in this specialty restaurant is way better and distinguished a lot from the buffet food.  The food are served just like in any other fine dining restaurant.  Very well presented and was tasted pretty good too.

Day 2: Queenstown City and Fergburger

Today we made our way to Lake Tekapo by driving.  It was a really scenic drive along the way.  Passing the little town called Cromwell where the fresh fruit farm located.  Then going through the spooky yet beautiful Lindy Hill.  Then we made a quick stop at Salmon farm which is located near Lake Tekapo.  They produce super fresh salmon.  Of course, we won't miss those sashimi.  We bought a whole small container for only $30.

Once we arrived at Lake Tekapo, I was absolutely amazed and my jaw was dropping.  I had never seen the water that blue, that clear and that pretty.  That was the best day of my life, having a chance to see this gorgeous God's creature. 

On the way back, we also visited Church of The Good Shepherd

New Zealand Day 4: Puzzling World and Arrowtown

New Zealand Day 2: Queenstown City and Fergburger

Previously:
Day 1: Hotel Rydges, Queenstown

Queenstown is a nice little town on the South Island.  The city layout was outstanding, it is surrounded by the clear blue river with endless mountains as their background.  Just as we are looking at a very stunning panoramic postcard.  We were so lucky to go around mid of march where the weather was cool and the sky was blue and clear especially in that 4 days.

Riding on Earnslaw boat is also one of the recommended activity to do while you were there.  However, you need to leave hotel pretty early in the morning or otherwise in late afternoon.  Which we didn't make it, better luck next time I guess.

The city is so peaceful, tidy and extremely beautiful.  Especially when around the fall season where the weather was cool but not freezing cold and trees were changing their color, it is so enchanting.

For our lunch today, we went straight to the burger shop that got people talking about.  Fergburger is the Queenstown's pride, New Zealand's type burger.  Around lunch peak hour be ready to join the long queue.  Yeah, of course we were one of them.  However, it wasn't take that much long as I thought.

As inside the restaurant was so packed with hungry customers, we chose to have our burger by the wharf.  More relaxing and it is just the right place to have your burger.



Look how massive is the size of the burger!!!  You kinda need two big palms to round them and a big mouth to bite on it.  The patty was tender and the sauce just ooze out.  It was delicious and comes only with $NZ 11 to $NZ 15.  Not only selling burger, but they also have some sweets as well in the house.

At night comes, my tummy is started to scream out again.  I didn't want to left hungry before going to bed.  Feeling satisfied with last night dinner, so we decided to order an in-room-dining again.  This time we went for Pan-fried Salmon and Crème Brulee.  The foods were came out wonderful and salmon as usual were cooked to perfection.
