The Coffee Factories White Coffee Premium 3-in-1

Came across this new brand while doing marketing at NTUC. It is those big packet of instant coffee, so prefer a big cup for it. Otherwise you may need to split the contents into 2 small cups. Nothing fantastic about this new brand. The coffee portion is not strong enough and is quite sweet. The aroma is not strong compare to Alicafe.

Ye Ye 3-in-1 Instant Coffee Mix

Isn't this an interesting name "YE YE". It meant grandfather. It is acceptable for a small cup of coffee. Still consider blend for my picky taste-bud for coffee. More creamer and sweet compare to other instant coffee. Yet another option for light coffee drinker.

Nescafe Espresso Roast 3-in-1

Bought this when I saw the word Espresso Roast. Well it doesn't taste as good as I thought. Just normal 3-in-1 quick fix for a small cup of coffee. A bit of coffee taste but consider blend. Seems like Nescafe small packaging 3-in-1 has a blend taste. Suitable for people who only go for a slight coffee smell and taste. Guess it is marketing strategy to pack in different packaging to target different group of people.

Owl 2-in-1 Instant Coffee

Owl brand is not new in Singapore market. A new revamp in packaging for Owl brand. Will it bring in new market share for Owl brand? This 2-in-1 contains coffee and creamer, not the usual 2-in-1 which contains coffee and sugar. Taste like Nova instant coffee. Not bad for a small cup. I would prefer this than some other small packet 3-in-1 instant coffee.

Here are more pictures of Avillion Port Dickson Hotel. The sea and the greenary, gave a calming and peaceful feel, that helped one to relax easily at such atmosphere.

Beside the Village pool, there is another Adult pool, solely designated for serious swimmer. The Village pool is filled with laughter of the children, whereas the Adult pool was quiet. It is suitable for those who love to have a peaceful swim and reading a nice book by the pool. It is thoughtful of the hotel to have separate pool for the family and for serious swimmer.

Having read how we ended up in Port Dickson, here is what you are waiting for, view of the hotel that we stayed. We stayed at Avillion Port Dickson Hotel. I was a little disappointed because of the size of the hotel area. I was expecting it to be covering a huge area, just like those resort in Bintan and Batam. Nevertheless, it was still a good place to slack.

The best place to stay will be the premium water chalet near to AviSpa. Do request for the room starting with 6 series (left of AviSpa) or 7 series (right of AviSpa). We were very fortunate to be staying at one of the best location, right in the sea, facing the sea, where we can view sun-rise and sun-set.

We were welcomed by friendly, helpful and courteous staff. Every corners of the hotel, you will meet polite staff and they are ready to give you a smile that brighten up your day. Thumbs up for the management having trained such good service oriented employees.

Dinning wise, Village Court serves buffet dinner on Saturday for RM88. You can have ala-cart meal at Crow's Nest or Gallery Lounge. The food taste average. If you are more adventurous type, you can walk for 10 - 15 mins along the road where the beach is, for some dinning places. It is further down from the bazzar area.

Port Dickson, Malaysia (Part 1 of 6)

How did we end up at Port Dickson? Well, I saw the pictures on my friend's facebook. The place seemed rather cool, hence contacted my friend for information. I checked out the website that was given, but find that it is a bit expensive for a 2D1N trip to Malaysia. However it is a place that I like to visit for a weekend get-away.

I saw an online deal where my friend stayed during his trip to Port Dickson. The price from the online deal was much cheaper than the price from the official hotel website. In addition, the price quoted included buffet breakfast and 2-way VIP coach. Beside taking the risk to purchase such online deal, the other reason was that we were too busy to make separate arrangement for hotel booking and 2-way coach services.

The deal was purchased from Deal.com.sg for SGD98 that tied up with merchant Gel Travel. The packaged tour if purchase directly from Gel Travel will cost SGD119. The price is definately cheaper than booking direct from the hotel. If you are interested to get such cheap deal, do look out for the deal from Deal.com.sg, as they may have the deal again.

Lunch area

The coach journey is about 5 to 6 hours depending on how much time is taken up at custom, lunch, p-stop point and how co-operative are the passengers in the coach. The journey back from Port Dickson is much faster, since there is no lunch break. Take naps and read a book, and your destination is reached.

The picture on the right, was where we had lunch and toilet break. You can do some shopping here.
