5-Day Hainan Tour (Part 5)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on 5-Day Hainan Tour (Part 5)

Day 3 of our 5-Day Hainan Tour. We experienced our first shopping stop. WOW! It’s such an eye-opener! So premium and really out of our league hahaha…

Managed to take a video of the helicopter ride. It’s not slow-mo or speed up. It is the original speed. Yes! It’s that short and such an anti-climax hahaha!

Sanya was really hot in February, even though it’s winter. However, it’s even hotter now! It’s hotter than Malaysia! After having a tea break at Ocean Blue Restaurant in a hotel, we went to a food street known Sanya Yiheng Theme Night Market. A section of the market was undergoing some renovations when we were there.

We were there for 2 hours. After that, it’s time to go back to the hotel and called it a night.

Part 6, day 4 coming… Stay tuned. Otherwise, just go to my Instagram account for it hehehe…

5-Day Hainan Tour (Part 4)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on 5-Day Hainan Tour (Part 4)

5-Day Hainan Tour, yet this part 4 is only day 2. After breakfast at Oubao Hotel, we checked out. Loaded our bags into the bus, and we headed to our first stop, Guanyin of Nanshan. The crowd was massive! It’s good that we went with a tour group. There is no need to look for parking or to queue to buy a ticket.

Next stop was Tianya Town. It was a short stop as most of the group members weren’t really interested in seeing a beach. We just stopped there for a quick dessert (we didn’t, other members did while we walked towards the beach area) and a toilet break before heading to the next destination. We’re going on a yacht.

Here we are at Sanya Cruise Tourism Centre. My first time experiencing a private yacht.

Next, it’s dinner time at a restaurant not too far away. After dinner, there was one optional activity. We didn’t join. Instead, we just walked to the nearby shopping mall to window shop. The, we headed back to the gathering place to meet up and went to the hotel.

So tiring. Out whole day. It’s quite late. When we got into our room, it was almost 10pm! I think we only settled down around 11pm. Had to wake up early to have breakfast at 6.30am the next day.

Part 5, day 3 coming… Stay tuned. Otherwise, just go to my Instagram account for it hehehe…

5-Day Hainan Tour (Part 3)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on 5-Day Hainan Tour (Part 3)

After Rong Shan Liao Village Tourist Centre 荣山寨游客中心, we headed to Ocean Flower Island (Hai Hua Dao 海花岛). It’s dinner time already. So of course we had dinner at one of the restaurants. Our first dinner was various Hainan foods. Wen Chang chicken was served along with the garlic rice.

Then, we had free time to walk around before the next agenda. The light show at the Wedding Manor. It’s a top romantic hotspot on Island No. 1 of Ocean Flower Island (Hainan, China), this attraction boasts nine stunning European-style chapels. It’s famous for its vast green lawns, exquisite stained glass, and picture-perfect sunset backlighting. You won’t see any cross there, though.

Everyone was really tired already. Only after the light show, we checked into our hotel, Oubao Hotel. We were assigned a family room. I got a cute bed (child bed) instead of an extra bed (rollaway bed). Luckily, I was petite, it’s not a problem for me to sleep in there. It was a fun and cute room. Too bad, we only stay here for a night.

Settled down at almost 11pm. Dead tired! Had to wake up at 5.30am to get ready to check out and then have breakfast at 6.30am. We had to make a move by 7.30am.

Now I understand why people said you will have late nights and early mornings when joining a tour.

Part 4 coming… Stay tuned. Otherwise, just go to my Instagram account for it hehehe…

Easy S Cookies Recipe (Version 2)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Easy S Cookies Recipe (Version 2)

This is not the traditional recipe for the S cookies that Kuching people (at least for me) are familiar with. I can’t seem to find the traditional recipe for it. All the recipes found online were not the taste and texture I’d been looking for. Do you have the traditional recipe to share?

This one is version 2. I slightly modified the ingredients. It has more ingredients than the one I shared last year.

This recipe yields approximately 100 cookies.

Ingredients:
75g salted/unsalted butter (room temperature)
60g castor sugar
1 egg (any size)
1 tbsp vanilla essence
1 tbsp coconut cream powder
190g plain flour

Instructions:

  1. Cream butter for 2 minutes.
  2. Add sugar and cream until white and creamy.
  3. Add egg and vanilla essence. Cream until it’s creamy.
  4. Sift the flour and mix. The dough should not be sticky once incorporated.
  5. Shape the dough. About 1/2 tsp for each piece of cookie.
  6. Freeze for at least 10 minutes before baking.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 150 degrees Celsius for 30-34 minutes. Adjust the timing according to your oven. Make sure it’s cooked and you don’t burn it.
  8. Cool and store in an air-tight container.
S Butter Cookies (Version 1)

Version 1 tasted closer to the traditional taste. Check out the video here:
