Day 1 in Bintan with Malaque!

Day 1 in Bintan has been fairly easy going. We did not do much activities. It was more of like getting to know Bintan and its beauty. Boy, I was blown away.

We were greeted with such a clear blue sky when we arrived. It was just too pretty. The weather was lovely throughout which enabled us to do a really nice tour of the really huge resort that we are staying in, Nirwana Gardens Bintan. The resort itself has like 5 different accommodations catered to different crowds, budget and interests. Syarif took the Ninebot tour to explore the resort while we followed closely behind in a buggy! Selma enjoyed buggy rides. She gets really sleepy every time we move or it could also be the lovely Bintan wind and scenic view. The villas had gorgeous view of the endless horizon but if I were to come here again, I'd love to stay in Mayang Sari Beach Resort, the verandah is literally steps away from the beach.

Moving on to the food, how can we forget the food, hotel food prices I would say it is slightly on the pricier/tourist price side. If you have a chance, do try purba sari food stall at Pujasera Hawker stall! It was the the first food place we went to have our late breakfast before we check in. Simple food, hawker style yet satisfying. Takes me back to my primary school days in Indonesia (yes I went to school there for a bit) Another dish I'd love to recommend is the Butter chicken from Spice Restaurant in Nirwana Gardens itself. Spice Restaurant is very much Indian inspired I reckon, even the music - they were playing classic hindi songs!
