2D1N at Tanjung Pinang, Bintan

There are a lot of deals nowadays including beauty, fashion, services, dining, travel and etc.
I was quite worried when considering which deals to buy as there were quite a number of bad reviews from other people saying that “xxoxxox website was not reliable” & “don’t buy from xxoxxox website”.
After a few research, I bought my first travel’s deal from AllDealsAsia.

The deal was about $118 per pax excluding $25 seaport tax.

Coke without gas, taste weird

mie goreng indonesia style

This mie goreng looked dry and ordinary. It's actually very spicy and quite tasty.

“]timber ayam penyet

Timbel ayam penyet. Steamed rice with ayam penyet. The ayam was underweight o.O Overall, still acceptable. (Not really suit me)

Aston hotel

Finally we reached our hotel

hotel lobby

This is the hotel's lobby. We were served with a glass of mango juice as welcome drink. The receptionists were very polite!

take a look at the room

Take a look at our room! Big and comfortable bed!

room

Plasma tv with various tv channel! Surprisingly we got to watch 'Vampire Sucks' at the night!

minibar

Minibar and mini fridge

dessert

Bought this at the small cafe in the hotel. I must say i super love the tiramisu, it tastes great! (left corner) and my partner loves the black forest very much (right corner). However, the peach cake was not that fantastic.

buffet dinner

Had our BBQ buffet right beside the pool.

various choices of bbq ingredients

They had various dishes like spicy soup, fried rice, grid noodles, salad, bbq like chicken wings, prawn, corns, sirloin, tenderloin, fish...etc

desserts

Watermelon, honeymelon, papaya were all sweet! love it so much! Besides, they had tasty cake!

self made caesar salad

Self made caesar salad!

Handbook

We were looking at the Handbook/Menu for times. A bit pity that we didn't order any food from this menu (as we had no time to eat). The food were quite cheap. Sirloin steak only costs about $15, fish & chips costs about <$10

supermarket

Finally got to see a supermarket around that area!(there is totally no entertainment and shopping centre T.T) Most of the items were quite cheap except those imported products.

Titbits

See what i've bought! Mini milo, mini cereals, nyam nyam...all about $10. The drinks were super sweet, i bought it because mini stuff caught my attention XD (I wanted to buy tons of them but too bad i couldn't carry it back o.O)

restaurant

It was a beautiful morning. We went to have our breakfast at their cozy restaurant.

breakfast

Besides the english breakfast they had, we had spicy nasi goreng, meehoon, french toast, thai style fish, and hot dogs.

honeystar!

I was so happy to see this >>Honey star<<

koko krunch

I brought my koko crunch there because there was milk supply. However, there was actually instant milk powder in the container. So instant!

porridge and bread

They had porridge with unlimited chicken floss & youtiao supply! There was a bread toaster at the back, i love the toasted bread with honey so much!

drinks

Orange juice, apple juice, pineapple juice and milk at the corner! If i were to stay there, i would most likely to get diabetes. All the juices were too sweet to me.

dim sum buffet

After we finished our breakfast, we went to swim for an hour. We were provided with free towel while we were swimming. What a nice and thoughtful service from them! After that, went for our second round ==> Dim Sum Buffet

dim sum set

At first i only ordered 3 of the dim sum. But we were served with the complete set of the dim sum! Too many there, we really couldn't finish all!

going back to singapore

Time flies, time to say goodbye. Before leaving there, we walked around to see anything to buy. Sad to say, there were nothing at all other than titbits. One packet of titbit costs about $5 where i can buy it at RM10 for 3 in M'sia. They thought we are 'cai tao' and want to chop us o.O!

rainbow

Finally we were back. Nice ending with rainbow after the rain :)

If you ask me whether to re-visit there, I would probably visit north side of Bintan where there is nice beach and lots of water sports. Nevertheless, Bintan is really a relaxing gateway for family & couple :)
