What would you do to release stress after more than 2 months of preparation for a huge (fruitful) event? For me, this was definitely one of the many things I looked forward to - a short getaway with the girls during last weekend! The last time we had such bonding session was after SPM and oh my, that's almost 5 years ago. Time flies, for sure!
After some not-so-detailed planning and a whole load of cars on the road jamming, we arrived at Lukut for lunch at Lucky Seafood Restaurant to indulge into the mouthwatering...
Famous Giant Curry Chicken Bun... (to be honest, I'm not even sure if it's THAT famous but the taste is pretty decent)
... and Salted Egg Mantis Prawns (this was really quite good as each was crunchy and flavourful!)
As Grand Lexis and the restaurant were only about 15 minutes away, we took our own sweet time dining in and going around the area to search for cheaper alcohol. Ended up buying some soft drinks because one of our alcoholic friends brought some beer and vodka. :D Check-in time was at about 4pm and only managed to get the room by 5 pm as it was rather jam-packed with humans too. -_-
Well, doesn't matter cause the rooms were so huge and comfy that you will forget about any stress you have for that moment! In fact, it was pretty worth the money as we managed to book Grand Lexis' Grand Pool Villa for only RM 680 per night, thanks to MATTA Fair's rate!
The living area/ flat screen TV/ make-up area.
The king-sized beds that fit 6 people comfortably!
The dry kitchen area which is fully equipped with cutleries, plates, cups and a microwave.
First part of the bathroom..
... and second part of the bathroom.
And of course, the highlight of this room...
A freaking outdoor pool! By the way, outdoor pools are available for upper units while the lower ones have indoor pools.
Okay, to be honest, the pool is not for swimming cause it's too small and there were 6 of us. Good for camwhoring though! :p
By the time we're done with swimming and bathing, it's already almost 9 pm and we headed out to PD Waterfront to hunt for dinner at some Taiwanese restaurant, which was near Pak Hailam Kopitiam. The prices were quite affordable and portions were huge, but please don't put too high expectations on the taste.
Went back to the room by 10-ish to proceed with our bonding session accompanied by some drinks and lots of laughter.
Well, the trip didn't stop there because we headed to Malacca on the following day after checking out of the hotel! Some of the food that were in our must-have list included Klebang's Coconut Shake (sadly no photo of it) and some others such as:-
Jonker 88's Baba Cendol @ RM 4.
Jonker 88's Nyonya Laksa @ RM 7 (reall huge portion!)
Bunga Raya's Popiah @ RM 4 per roll.
Aunty Lee's Nyonya Restaurant @ Jalan Ujong Pasir, Taman Sinn, 75050 Melaka. Total bill came to about RM 120 for the dishes! Super worth it!
This pretty much sums up everything but before I end this post, I sincerely thank every one of them who made it for the trip despite the different schedules that we have these days. This made me realise further that we don't need to see each other often but the bond remains tight, no matter how long we've not met or spoken to one another. This is what best friends are all about. :)
Wouldn't trade them for some other people in the world.
