Rebecca’s Table For Four – Part II, & a recipe for Aioli!

This is me “playing the kitchen goddess” Part II, stemmed from my Part I, where Wine Actually sponsored me a bottle of wine. Read about that one HERE .  😉
We had a very creative “Grape Tofu” as amuse bouche, Pan fried Pork Tenderloin & Pumpkin Risotto, all somewhat infused with the red wine by Wine Actually as part of the theme.

For Part II, we prepared a full 5 course meal & the occasion was also a goodbye lunch for 2 culinary friends of mine; Brendan, who is currently interning at Resorts World Sentosa Singapore, and Rainier; who has left Cilantro @Micasa and is now attached with Jann Restaurant, Singapore, one of the respected fine dining establishments in the Lion City.

Another culinary enthusiast, Edwin is currently a final year student in Taylors University Sunway.

Pulau Tiga Island, Sabah – the journey, the resort, the wilderness, the sea

Pulau Tiga’s meteoric rise to fame is credited solely to none other than being the first ever ‘secret’ location for the hit reality series, ‘Survivor’. And hence, the popular monicker of “Survivor Island” has stuck on ever since.

I was thrilled to be here, one of reasons being that it would be my first ever island holiday in the pristine waters of Sabah; another was just in awe that I am on the very island where the reality series was shot.

The beginning: THE JOURNEY.

Getting there meant starting with a 2 hours road ride from KK town, Sabah to Kuala Penyu.
As demonstrated by my fellow travellers Fei & Brad, do take a nap so you are rejuvenated by the time your feet meets the sands of Pulau Tiga. 😉

Kuching Open Air Food Court, our arrival night supper…

After the initial shock of my lodgings arrangements, my mood wasn’t the slightest bit improved when I found out that dinner was just drinks & finger food.
God damn. I need to be fed and I need to be fed properly.

Thank god for kind Sarawakians like Pierce and Norman, who answered our SOS calls & whisked the hungry grouchy bunch of us to the famous Kuching Open Air Food Court for some local grub before any of us passed out from hunger!

Seafood in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah – Kampung Nelayan Floating Seafood Market Restaurant

It’s a crime to be on Kota Kinabalu’s soil & not enjoy her bountiful harvest of fresh seafood.

It is also then an expected item on our itinerary, that our sponsored familiarisation trip to KK, Sabah by Sabah Tourism Board & Firefly Airlines would include a seafood dinner.

Castrol Football Crazy Futsal Game with Advertlets bloggers, Adam C & JD!

I used to play football every Sunday back in Penang.
Damn I missed those days. Early morning at 6am, trooping onto the field behind Adventist hospital in Pulau Tikus.

It’s more or less the same gang everytime, and usually my godsis and I are the only females. Not that we were given any privileges, LOL, as the boys in the team goes all out to score against each other. But injuring any of us warrants a red card & a free meal. 😉

Back then I have never heard of futsal. Yes, it was that many years ago. I doubt I can kick a ball straight now.

All memories were revived last Saturday when I had to coordinate the Castrol Football Crazy Futsal Game with Advertlets bloggers, with popular Adam C and JD as our referees.

The both of them are the hosts for the locally produced Castrol Football Crazy (channel 812 on ESPN, every Thursday) which aims to combine football, humour & entertainment into the weekly series.

I’m not a football person, but I’m sure as hell an active sports one. But I wasn’t really in the mood to play that morning, especially since it was a work-related event. But I did managed to slot myself in during the warm up session, which warmed up our stomachs more than our limbs, as JD (from the fame of  “JD and Dilly” on Red FM ) is freaking hilarious. 😉

Hello all!

I’m back from my “island” holiday! And would you believe it, this is my first ever island adventure in my 30 years of existence! 😉

Anyhow, I’m starting the wackybecky Sabah Chronicles with this “muddy” post, simply cos I’ve got some epic pictures that I think you guys will like!

Such as this one:
