Life Of A Borneo Gurl

Follow-up to my previous post about Imperial International Hotel, like Julian Sabah, I was also one of the lucky ones who was called up by the boss of this hotel and was given a free night stay here and do a review.

Lucky me, huh..

Entrance of the hotel

Lobby

The reception counter. They accept walk-ins too now!

The elevator area

The spacious hallway. BF commented that without me with me, he would sure get lost here as we had to take a couple of turnings to get to our room LOL!

The spacious and luxurious feel of our hotel room. Nice huh! And I LOVE the red comfy chair!

The comfy bed and a cool see-through window to the bathroom!

There’s a bathtub AND a shower too!

The door, flat-screen tv, and working desk

I love to take pics of bathrooms. And I love the room’s bathroom! Simple and yet nice design!

View of my bedroom window at night.. That’s Waterfront, by the way..

And we left the window curtain opened at night so in the morning, we could wake up to this view. Nice eh; you’re in the middle of the city, and yet can have this view?

BF and I had dinner on Wednesday night here at Barcelona Tapas Y Cava in Warisan Square.

And wow.. I’ve never been to a restaurant where they served so many complimentary food from the chef! I didn’t manage to see whether other tables got the same treatments or not. I think they probably did..

But anyway..

First up, a dish that is bread and tomato paste, forgot the name, though. Such a simple dish, and yet, yummy!

Even BF gave it 2 thumbs up!

Then a complimentary drink called “Sangria ‘D’ Most”.

Then, complimentary cheese nuggets. Was told that the cheese was imported all the way from Spain. In fact, all of their ingredients are! Muy Bueno, si?

This restaurant is also the first restaurant that I’ve left a lot of tip to them, even though they have service charge. But hey, it’s not everyday you get this much complimentary stuff, and speak to one of the bosses AND the chef all in one night, right?

Am still compiling the info to do a review for this restaurant. So damas y caballeros, wait for it ya?
