We had a lovely weekend stay at the Empire. Quick shot with the lovely decor before we hit the beach.
View from my deck chair, watching Mark & his friend L surf on their boogie boards.
Mark's Vans and some chips - a light afternoon snack for the children before dinner. I really like the way the staff serve ice water with lemon slices and oranges as soon as you sit down anywhere by the pool or beach. It's a simple but welcoming touch.
Dinner that evening - it was a Malay buffet and the children were not used to spicy food in such abundance so Mark & Hazel had fish and chips and L had lasagna.
My plate - I've taken just a little of not everything from the buffet, and look at the overcrowded 'greedy girl' plate... :P A bit of chicken kurma, one grilled prawn, a piece of beef rendang, another prawn, a sweet potato fritter, half an egg belado and bit of rice and finally a broken crab claw with pepper sauce.
The oxtail soup was delicious - the meat was falling off the bone and still meaty tasting, but not mushy. Lovely lovely.. Only wish was it could have been hotter (in temperature). Oily but tasty.
I'm trying to meet my daily quota of vegetables. Vinaigrette and 1000 island sauce on the side.
