suprise!! hahahha.. i really wasn't expecting this when we enter the room. in my mind.. the 1st thing i can think of was to jump into the bed and get some rest after flying for an agonising 13 hours from Manchester. gosh.. you wouldnt believe what happen!! okok.. lets not talk about my work.... so.. yup, this is what we saw once we enter the room... awww isn't it sweet :p both of us, stood there like a kid looking at the bed for some 10 mins before removing the flowers... hahaha... so silly. by then, my tummy have been growling for food... so we changed and head off to look for food. lobby cafe... nah.. cakes and juices only... resorts restaurant.. not open yet. so we head down to the beach where the "Pantai Grill & Bar"is. Menu, BBQ delights with heart filling sandwhiches and pizza's. MmMMmmmm.. sounds good. i chose a table just in front of the bar facing the beach.. 
and my treat.... a juicy, mouth watering sandwhich.
turkey breast slices with a generous amount of grilled pineapple and tomatoes slices, top with alfalfa sprouts and chips on the side. for S$11.65 a plate... pretty reasonable ei? :p
after filling my stomach... a short walk down the beach is just heavenly. shortly after we head back to our room to get some rest before getting ready for dinner. about 15 mins later.. the door bell rang! "room service"...... huh? i look at my bf with a very face... you ordered room service? "NOPE" he says... i reluctantly head to the door and peep at the door viewer... a man was standing at our door holding a plate.. i open the door to find another suprise... this..
i have to say their personalize service is excellent. this cake is the size of a A5 paper! no kidding. a soft sponge cake topped with tropical fruits such as grapes, mango and peaches. coated with a layer of sweet custard it taste just fantastic. they lined the cake with thin chocolate slices. nice? yummy..... :p
we were too full to dig in after the wholesome sandwhich we had earlier on, so we kept it for supper. that nite we head down to the Banyan Tree Resort where "TreeTop Restaurant is. they serve an array of international and local cuisines cooked by their talented chefs. with a smart casual dress atire, the restaurant itself is not smart casual at all! with a wooden attic facing the see at an elevated view from the tree top ( probably this is how they got their name :P) its just magnificent. i did not manage to take any pics here as the lightings were very poor and the dinner was suppose to be something romantic for me and my bf. but i can definately tell u what we ordered. for appetizers, we had chicken breast floss with sambal sauce serve on top a fried wanton skin. the combination between the chicken floss and sambal taste so good! unlike those sambal you will normally have for nasi lemak, this sambal sauce has a tinch of spicy and sour taste. together with the bunga kantan....wah.. i can still taste it in my mouth now as i type. hehehe... then the oxtail soup before the main course. normally, the western style of serving, oxtail soup is serve by itself.. but in TreeTop, the soup is served with the chef's own blend of pound chilies and lime slices. unique? or is it just me?.. i wonder. at last the main course. i ordered a salmon marinated in miso and terriyaki sauce served with seasonal veg, lotus and shitake mushroom. rice is served with this dish. my bf had a grilled pork butt in mushroom sauce, veg and potatoes. the whole meal cost us US$56.75 only.
overall... i enjoyed the trip very much. thou its only for 2 days, but its worth every bit of it. why not give it a try and be mesmerized by it.
