Day Two, 5/7/08 - I woke up to a bright and cheerful morning. Aside from the uncomfortable night sleep, I was still able to enjoy the fresh morning air at around 7am. From our balcony, I could see the clear sea view, yacht bay and the nice swimming pool.

For our breakfast, we had Fried Beehoon in Bento style (S$2.80). There was a piece of otah, fishcake, three pieces of popcorn chicken, a spoonful of ikan bilis and two slices of cucumber. Not forgetting the chilli. I love the peanuts and ikan bilis the most. It was sweet and tasty. I could eat many mouthful of those.
In the afternoon, we spent our day exploring the place and we happened to pass by this friendly man who is also a fisherman. That day, he managed to catch a stingray from the sea. Of course, he took out the poison out of the stingray. All of us were amazed by the catch as we hardly see a real stingray. The man was nice enough to let us take some pictures of the fish and furthermore, posing pictures with the famed stingray. A few brave ones among us carried the stingray but they weren't aware that the fish was pretty heavy and sticky.
For our lunch, it was Nasi Lemak in Bento style which consists of chicken wing, otah, fishcake, two slices of cucumber and a spoonful of ikan bilis (S$2.80).
As for our dinner, we went down to the WaterEdge Cafe for our meal as dinner was not provided in the retreat. The cafe was pretty crowded when we went there. The wait staff was shuffling all over the place serving the food. The chef was also trying to churning out all the food orders.
After studying the menu, I decided to order Hor Fun (S$4.80) as I wasn't really fond of Western Food. Sadly, it wasn't up to my standard. I shall not elaborate further.
My friend, Vana ordered Fish Curry with Rice (S$8.90). When the fish curry arrived in Claypot, it just looked appetising to me. Surprisingly, the fish curry tasted spicy.
Another friend, Justine ordered Salmon Salad (S$10.80).
Then another friend of mine, Jo ordered Mango and Prawn Salad (S$10.80). Now, that was when our drama began. You see, when the salad finally arrived, she was expecting something big and good.
But to her horror, it came in three medium-sized prawns, a small slice of mango and a lettuce bowl filled with salad. And that cost S$10.80?! Everyone on the table wasn't pleased, so was Jo. Immediately, she called the waitress to cancel or change the order. However, the waitress said the dish can't be cancelled or changed. Hence, it enraged Jo even more. Unsatisfied, she demanded to see the manager. Thankfully, the manager relented and allowed the salad to be changed to fish and chips (S$10.80). That was not all.
Just when we thought the situation had turned for a better, Jo found two streaks of hair in the fish and the chips respectively. In the end, she only ate a few mouthfuls of it. What a disappointing meal.
