The meals were included in the three days, two nights tour package to Kukup. Five meals a day – breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner, and supper. Soft drinks like tea, coffee and soda are also free of charge.
The food was decent, but not exceptionable. They were more in the lines of home-cooked meals. Or maybe it was the setting and surroundings that made it look like home-cooked meals. The one dish that stood out for me was the pig trotters and ginger in vinegar.
Lunch was waiting for us when we arrived at the resort. Leaving out stuff in the rooms, we dug into our lunch excitedly, in anticipation of what lies ahead in our weekend holidays. We were curious to see what the fishing village has to offer.
These were the lunches. There was pork, chicken, fish, vegetables and soup. Prawns and a few other local dishes were swapped about.
These are the dinners. Our first dinner was a steamboat, or hot pot dinner. Typical hotpot fare. Prawns, fish, crabs, vegetables, mushrooms and a couple of other ingredients. The following dinner was barbecue. I thought we had to do it ourselves, but they had someone doing the barbecue for us. And only a few of the items were barbecued - chicken wings, satay, stingray, crab. There were a few other cooked dishes that went with the barbecue dinner.
In between, there wes breakfast, tea and supper. The items were more or less the same. However, they varied them a bit by doing a ‘mix and match’. So, it was still acceptable. There was porridge, Nasi lemak (coconut rice), fried vermicelli, Nyonya cakes, fritters, and dessert.
So, we were fed five meals a day at the resort. Needless to say, we did not go hungry. It was a lot of eating. But that’s what holidays are about isn’t it? You relax, eat and enjoy yourself.
