Gerlyn’s 23rd Sesame Street Themed Birthday Celebration – Feat. Bayu Marina Resort (JB) for Decorations , Moonlight Cake House & Kimarie Florist (Malacca) + One Piece Cafe in JB & Restoran Todak (Orang Asli) Introduction & Review

Hello Readers, today gonna share with you my 23rd Birthday Celebration at the Bayu Marina Resort.

At the later part of the post i will also share with you a very special ONE-Piece Cafe which I chanced upon and also the famous Restoran Todak Orang Asli Tze Char Review. 

And this is the swimming pool at Bayu Marina Resort but we are not having a pool side party today! Is just a walk around the pool.

Actually this is my 2nd time in Bayu Marina. First was our 1st Dating Anniversary in 2013.

As we were quite hungry so we went to their in house restaurant to order some food. 

My family is a fan of western food hence you will see Sirloin Steak. 

Calamari Rings aka Sotong rings. 

But my dad order Nasi Goreng. 

I am pretty surprised Casper ordered Western!

No idea why but I am just shocked. He should be ordering local malay cuisine! 

I think this is lamb chop? If not still steak… Definitely my mum or my sis one! 

Then my super big gastric dad order this lasagna for us to share!

Seriously?!

Erm.. Not serious.. Because he order like 15 sticks of satay!

We ate a few before I remember to take photo coz I am too busy eating! hahhaahha!

And as usual I am eating Elmo’s favourite! Spaghetti~

Really not creative of me.. Always eat Spaghetti! 

Then my mum ordered mushroom soup for us to share around because in malaysia especially restaurant, waiting time for meals to be cooked is like 30mins.

So you need to drink some soup to “tong” or tahan first. Is quite standard for this waiting time.

After makan session then we check in to the room. To my amaze the room was so beautifully decorated with sesame street themed!!!Can see my reaction! I go “WOAH~” :) 
Thanks Bayu Marina Staff for these!!! And of course thanks Mr Kat for the special arrangement and also top up $$ for this la! But hor they really spend alot of effort sia! 

They even gave us complimentary birthday cake!

They also wrote a nice written card for me printed in sesame street photo. All the cut-outs and big bird face!!! LOLS!! So nice and cute~! What I loved most is the photobooth props.. Still got 123 Princess Gerlyn Street!!! HAHHAHAHA! If you watch sesame street you will know.. Is a inside thing. :P

When i walked into the room! Impressive sia! They dun just do Happy Birthday! They got put 23 leh! Reminding me this is my 2nd Anniversary of my 21st birthday celebration sibo?! 

Then Casper really got heart la.. He decorated the bed with the flower bouquet he specially customised from Kimarie Florist (Malacca). Then he bought a princess tiara for me and even bought my shoes and dress! 

Even the dressing table is not spared. Bayu Marina also make a flower petal heart shaped here. 
See my Tiara super cool right? Got light somemore! Bling* Bling* 

See the floor all got petals too.. Toilet also.. Everywhere is filled with rose petals…

Thanks Mum for taking care of me and bringing me to this world ^.^

Thanks Hubby Casper for the wonderful planning, preparation and effort!

Love Love you ^.^

Just me and my presents :P 

So dad & his Gf Auntie C bought me a pair of Cinderella Shoes from Melissa~ 

We took a photo to show Auntie C :D
Selfie Time! 

Now is my review time~ 
As usual, my cake is from ~ Moonlight cake house!So how is the design inspired. Hmm.. This year theme is Sesame Street. As Elmo is my favourite Character. Actually my fave is Abby but Abby-inspired cake is too rare to be found. Hence i choose Elmo. Then also these few years trend is omber cake or gradient cake which means the colour will go light to dark or dark to light with a gradient. And i love all flowery and present stuff. So This cake is an elmo garden with present and gradient~ Moonlight Cake House

Review: The cake was yummy, but i think the portion shrinked and fondant was thicker than my 21st & 22nd cake. This time round when i collected the cake then i realise something. Instead of 23, they only put 3. So from 23rd birthday become 3rd birthday! :O omg! So before you leave any cake shop, you mus check carefully!!

3/5

Points deducted for 23rd & 3rd —> careless

So incase the URL is removed. You can see this picture. Is Elmo face~ Lolols.. They used paper rose to form it. And Casper ask them to write Happy 23rd Birthday Gerlyn. Woohoo~ 
You can find Kimarie at Malacca.

Review: They provide super good service too and allow alot of customisation at low cost. Very worth it! I am gonna be their regular customer!

4/5 for them! 1 point deducted for the distance coz they are out of the way.
And yeah.. Special thanks to Bayu Marina for the awesome decors!

Next up is having lunch the next day at Restoran Todak (Orang Asli) 

Address. No 1 Kampung Orang Asli, Telok Jawa, Masai; 81750. Phone, +60 7-386 3696

It’s highly advisable by me to go during off peak hrs like late afternoon 4pm that timing or else…. Just make reservation and booking coz it’s damn CHAOTIC!

Can you imagine you have to like wait for tables just like you do in kopitiam? Stare at people eating then hoping they faster finish and give you the table? It’s that kind of feeling when i went at 7pm and at 8.30pm then i STARTED eating.. 

So anyway the fish is damn fresh and I love this kind of Hong Kong Steamed Sauce. It’s sweet and salty and you add to the rice.. Wow~ I can have 2 bowls of rice just liddat. Taste similar to the Chinese Palace Restaurant in Perth! HAHAHAHA! 

Then as usual whenever we eat Tze Char we must order Sambal Kang Kong coz is Mum’s Fave. This should be kang kong otherwise is sweet potato leaves. I cant differentiate them! hahaha! Then we order the sibeh sibeh famous DRUNKEN PRAWN! Super fresh super yummy! 

Then this is Baby Kailan for Keslyn coz she cant eat Sambal Kang Kong and kids meal must have greens! So ya~ Here is the greens for my sister! Then this one….. I tell you this dish is IMPRESSIVE! DIE DIE Must ORDER! DIE DIE MUST TRY!

It is ESCARGOT aka Snail… But it’s nice…… Damn nice!!! We cooked it in a way that there is no chilli. The gravy the onion, the escargot.. Waaaapiang! Damn nice can? Now i am hungry again! Boon Hee when are we going?! 
Then obviously this is for my mum again.. Her favourite SOTONG! 
Then we also ordered LALA aka Clams. So is like Butter Ginger Clams. 

Then this is the view…. Opposite is Woodlands already so we are so near home~ The view is just cool.. Nice food, cool view and the price of it is just a fraction of Tze Char meal in SG Kopitiam! 

So hard to tell you why I don’t love this Restaurant Todak!

It’s my 2nd visit already and i think there will be 3rd, 4th, 5th! 

Hurray~ This is the perks of going early! If you go at 7pm, this area i jump shot-ed will be placed with tables!!! Super packed. Really… Pls heed my advice! Go for late lunch!

My review for this restaurant: Pretty awesome! Food is yummy, price is damn cheap and not too far from home or very out of the way kind. But travelling for good food is always just so worth it! I will give it 5/5!!!

Then next up we have our late dinner / supper at The ONE Piece Cafe. 

And this is the One Piece 海贼主题餐厅Western & Japanese Food Anime Restaurant. You can get plenty of photo ops here! Very suitable for One Piece Anime fans like KESLYN ONG!
It’s a nice coincident that we happen to just drove past it and I told Keslyn to look and she say she die die must come. Oh well~ Here we are.. So as usual just spamming photos! Here is dad ~ Here is me! Just some photos you can scroll thru them! 
We ordered some cool cordial drinks. Cant remember their names already.. But erm… Mine is so so… Then here is the meal. We went at 9pm and most food are sold out.. Even the side dish.. Then Green Seasoned Seaweed, aka Wakame is like so little..
Then keslyn order the egg omelette rice which resembles the hat of the pirate. This is another side dish which i forgot the name. 
My review for this restaurant: hmmm… The photos ops are really worth it.. Not very expensive but neither is it cheap. Food is so – so only.. Many food or even snacks and cakes are sold out at 9pm on a Sunday night. No crowd so no need to queue to take photos. But I will suggest you to have dinner at Sutera Mall first then come over for a drink and photo ops. But don’t place too much hope on the dishes. But I wish they will improve it over the time since they are relatively new last September (Sep-15).
