Lets see if this works… (Continued from last session)
Its been a really long while since i last posted, sorry folks!
Not that i have not been eating good, shooting well and having fun, but i was just too occupied with work, having fun, eating more and shooting even more!!!
So since I am pretty much bored out over here (I got to wait until Tuesday minimum to get to do some actions.) I tot i might as well write something about this place! That is provided i got some decent internet access here...
So i departed on the 23rd to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea (PNG). Got myself some transport to bring me around. In fact, we are only allowed to travel in our client's appointed vehicles (ExxonMobil) and almost everywhere u go, u will be monitored. I guessed its either the security is bad here or the client's security is too good... I will soon find out...
Here are some photos in my hotel.
The room is pretty much the same as anywhere else loh.
This the view from my hotel room.
Actually i have a number of photos from my iPhone. Now i jus need to find out how to transfer them out…
Got checked into the hotel at 0600hrs, oh my flight was overnight thru Manila. Ask me about Manila airport, i will tell you, dun do your transit there... Its a boring place.
So i slept till noon. lol. i didn't get much sleep on the plane. Since i am only required to travel to the next location, Moro Camp, the next day, i might as well get some sleep...
Lunch was nothing fancy since i wasn't hungry and yet i dun wanna waste the chance to order food service. So i got sometime local to try, fish...
The fish wasn't that bad, consider that it was not fishy and its meaty. But probably i was not hungry, so i had only the fish but not the vegs.
After a heavy meal, i set out to get my Malaria Survival Kit (MSK) and purchase some "Insect shield" clothing (PPE). PNG is a country where there are many cases of malaria and trust me, u wouldn't want to know how bad malaria can be, but ultimately, you can die from getting that disease... So we have to be real careful, getting repellents, "insect shield" clothing and etc.
It was pretty cool to be transported around. :) i just have to call the dispatch and the driver will be at my disposal within 5mins. Oh, i was also assigned a call sign! V248. lol Maybe should go buy 4D. Wahahaha.
Dinner was some lavish western food in the hotel, after debating over paying 69++ for seafood buffet dinner or 94++ for posh western food. The currency is in KINA which is about half SGP$. End up i decided to “punish” the client with a slightly expensive dinner. Wahaha.
I ordered the Prawn Bisque and Brandy Espresso with Lobster Biscotti, what a long name!!! I nvr notice the espresso as the soup was served in an espresso cup. It was flavourful of prawn but i missed out the brandy taste. It could be the slightly bitter after taste after each sip. I also didn't notice the “lobster”on top and all of it went into my mouth in one gulp. lol. The main was Beef Ribeye on the Bone (aged 21 days) with Cafe de Paris Butter and Saffron Mash. Just the name it self is pro right?!? It really took me quite a while to decide on this coz i was not in the deleprate intention to wack the client one. But it appears that it was the biggest portioned meat, so no choice la… lol In conclusion, the meat was brilliant! I ordered medium and it came jus what i would love steak to be. Slightly charred on the outside, and pink in the inside…. Yummy~ This could possibly be the second best steak i had! Of course,the best one i had is still Gordon's Grills and the company counts too!!! I myself is not a potato lover but this one was outstanding. Though i didn't know how saffron would taste like,but i sure know that its the world most expensive spice! (Knowledge courtesy by Josh) I caught a few strand of saffron in the potato but didn't notice the flavour, but in the whole it was great. The “semi-mash” style cooking keeps a few chunks of potatoes in it and it was tasty in general. The butter on the steak was slightly “oily” to my preference. Probably i would prefer less oil, but more herbs. But all in all, i had nothing to complain of the combination.
Breakfast in the hotel was rather simple. Although they same western restaurant was used as dining place for all club level customer, there wasn't much quality in the food. Bacon, sausages, eggs and cereals were the few i ate. Come lunch time, i was yet to be hungry, but i ordered a sandwich, since i dun want to end up hungry on the plane. Turn out, the sandwich was delivered late, and i had it packed out instead. It was Roast Beef sandwich with lotsa olives. yummy~
That kinda ends my “Good life” in PNG and off to the worst…
