Kobe Me

Those that know me will agree that i'm game for a good steak anytime. Unfortunately there aren't any good steak places in KL or rather the choice cuts are rare and few. One of the best cuts I've ever had the priviledge to try would be the Kobe ternderloin. It is so juicy and light that it literally melts in the mouth. The poorer cousin wagyu doesn't come close.

I was told that a lot of care and effort goes into making the Kobe cattle/meat the way it is. It all begins with how it is reared. Apparently the cattle/cow lives in an environment that's stress free, surrounded by soothing music, right temperature, fed choice corn and grain, drinks beer and has daily massages. I've always wondered how lucky I would be if I'm a kobe cattle/cow..except for the being slaughtered part.

Well guess my wish has come true. For the past few days, hubbs, tt, ew and I have been living the life of a prized Kobe cow. We literally laze around the cabana the entire day looking forward to the next meal and listening to the soothing sound of the surf. Our daily highlight would be the spa sessions where we are scrubbed, massaged and soothed with milk baths. When it is meal time we are fed with freshest choice fish from the ocean and drink alcoholic cocktails, courtesy of ew.

I know for sure I'm nicely marbled but may have a slight excess of fat but the four of us are truly living the Kobe cow life. So, me Kobe.

Guess what this is?

We went trekking this morning to a lovely waterfall. We saw the above along the way. Wonder whether the owners were trying to keep animals or females away :)

Lazing & chillin

This is the view from the cabana that hubbs and I are chillin in. The black sand beach right in front of us and nothing to do except read and enjoy the sound of waves hitting the shore and the wind blowing in our faces.
