Tree Monkey

We went to Tree Monkey for dinner yesterday night for a friend's birthday. These pics are from Summer's camera, as I didn't bring mine. Tree Monkey is situated right next to Tropical Spice Garden in Batu Feringghi. It's a place where you will be one with nature enjoying Thai/Malay-styled dishes with a hint of Spanish (they have "Thai Tapas" and "Thai Paellas". Enjoy the pics :)

You will not miss the sign

You will get a good view of the sun setting

Look! Tree Monkeys

We sat at the open air area, the rest of the place has atap roof for shade

Bora Bora drink - yummy

Mixed fruit

Pineapple fried rice

Seafood tom yum


Phad Thai

Green Chicken Curry



The food tasted really good to me and I liked the open-air concept. It does make you feel one with nature. The downside would be the mosquitoes! We came equipped with repellent, but some weren't spared. Also (thankfully) the monkeys did not come near us at all. Food is quite pricey, but I believe they have included the ambiance as part of the cost too. They will have some problems if it rains as only 35% of it has shelter. Now is the monsoon season..thankfully it did not rain last night :)

Happy birthday to my dear "Monkey Princess" friend :)

Mariposa, that restaurant looks really pleasant, the view is beautiful and the dishes are all so inviting! I agree with you for the open-air concept.
Have a nice day :-)

What are they listening to?

Image
Ever wondered what music sports people and celebrities listen to? I was watching the Olympics swimming competition and the swimmers were walking to the pool. Suddenly I see Michael Phelps walking out with earphones.. I wonder what he's listening to? So here are a few pics of sports people/celebs and what I think they're listening to. All the pics aren't mine, I took 'em off the net, so credit goes to whoever that took the pics k? Feel free to contribute your thoughts ;) USA NBA Star Lebron James - Getcha' Head in the Game [High School Musical] Russian Tennis Player Maria Sharapova - The Kill [30 Seconds to Mars(Venus)] Chelsea football/soccer player, Nicolas Anelka* - Second Chance [Trisha Yearwood] * missed a penalty at the Champions' League Final Desperate Housewives star Terri Hatcher - Yet Another Plumber [Flashlight Brown] Super fit Fergie - Work It [Missy Elliot] Cristiano Ronaldo* - Holiday in Spain [Counting Crows] * was rumoured to move ...

Come Read With Me (February)

Image
I've got 4 books to share with you for February :) First would be a book given to me by Mariposi (aka Gavin) for my birthday. Was so thoughtful of you! Thank goodness he gave me the English version as I do not think I would be able to tackle the original version (which is in Spanish) as my vocabulary in Spanish is abysmal at this moment. The cover of the book pretty much sums up the story - A novel in monthly instalments with recipes, romances and home remedies. The story is set in a ranch in Mexico. A boy resorted to marry the sister of his girlfriend just so he could be close to her as she was destined to take care of her mother till her mother dies as she was the youngest of the family. I love the way Laura writes and she incorporates a lot of recipes in between the main plot. I just watched the movie (no subtitles!) and it was a good thing I read the book beforehand or else I might have gotten a little lost. They followed the book 100% and it was really good :) For more informa...

Barcelona!!

Image
Be warned: This is a super long post..longer than my Al-Hambra one! I'm finally blogging about my next destination during my trip to Spain.. that is none other than the lovely and quirky.. BARCELONA! After the last day of class (Friday), my friend Nav and I took the bus to Madrid..we booked a flight to Barcelona from Madrid at about 6.30am (i think?) on Saturday morning. We said our goodbyes to our housemates and new found friends, and departed the beautiful Salamanca. On the way to Madrid (last time onboard the efficient and comfy Avanza) I caught Ávila at night and I must say the view was breathtaking, it happened to quickly and I couldn't take the pic on time. Managed to catch the colourful sky though =) Skyline - trust me if was so beautiful in real, the camera gives it no credit at all. We spent the night at the airport, but I didn't get much sleep at all - THANKS to one lousy couple who sat opposite me..that lady had an annoying high pitched laugh..AND SHE KEPT LAUG...
