Golden Churn Spreadable Lighter with Avocado Oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Golden Churn Spreadable Lighter with Avocado Oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Over the weekend I was given an opportunity to put Golden Churn butter to the test. Being a Pastry Chef, I simply love butter. Golden Churn (GC) is a marque that needs no introduction, but for some of you who don't know.. well they have been around for more than 70 years. I believe what made them famous amongst users was their purity, flavor and its quality of GC butter. The brand claims to have no artificial colors or flavors, so with every wrapped butter, tubs or portions you can be sure to have the best of what a butter should be, which is the wholesome goodness and taste of an Australian and New Zealand butter, just as how it is intended.

This GC butter simply brings joy to the table in the morning. Its indeed perfect choice to accompany your toast or croissant. Yes! Croissant! I know some of you may say, the croissant is indeed buttery so why do you still need to add butter. Ha ha ha …  Well, for me there are no rights and wrongs to eating the croissant. The GC butter simply adds flavor to it, by giving you a hint of avocado or olive oil.

Overall, I would say the taste and quality are truly exceptional and it reminds me of my morning breakfast when I was travelling around Australia and New Zealand in the past when I was a flight attendant.

“As a fitness enthusiast, I do not include butter in my daily diet. This is indeed an exceptional, because it’s hard to resist the taste and aroma of the butter. The taste is lighter and apparently it contains lesser fat”

Nutritional Fact

W Bangkok and its Splendour ..

The House on Sathorn, Bangkok's Latest Culinary Experience Destination and one of the most recognizable landmarks of Bangkok

I am pretty sure for most travelers the W Hotel is anonymously known for its chic and stylish modern decor which markets towards a younger crowd. This week.. my readers will have a glimpse of what W Bangkok has to offer.

The hotel is located on Sathorn Road, within a ten minutes walking radius you can find Healthland Spa, Dean and Deluca cafe, 7-11 convenient store, Starbucks Coffee and some local cafe, BTS Chong Non Si and eateries.

It's really hard, not to notice this building. Just in case you are still wondering where the location is, this huge sign welcomes you at its main gate.

At every W Hotel you will realise that the lobbies are known as the "Living Room", The swimming pool is known as "Wet", the concierge is known as "Whatever Whenever" and if you managed to locate the laundry bag.. it's written "Wash" on it.

Enough said, let me show you the room..

This smart tablet is your one touch control, which you use to set the alarm, control the lighting of the entire room, air conditioner, check your room voicemail, and turn off and on the Do Not Disturb sign.

The living room area of the one bedroom Marvelous Suite

Honestly speaking, I am person that loves surprises and W Bangkok knows exactly what I want. How did they do it? That is indeed something to Wow about. Well, what I can tell you is that, they keep tract of your previous stay. Before your arrival, the W Insider will send you an email, welcoming you to their property and in that email they will ask if you have any specific request. If i have the time, i would normally reply them and tell them, the purpose of my visit would be for total relaxation, party, weekend getaway and etc.. it depends.. never would i have thought these information were actually useful for them to Wow each and every guest Whenever possible.

In this occasion, i was here for belated birthday with some of my close friends. That's why there were balloons. Looks at what the W Insider made for me! Well, it doesn't have to look fancy and grand .. but most importantly the thought that counts. It's indeed things like this (recognition) differentiate the service standards of W Bangkok from the rest.

I feel that things like a simple card like this one here, really adds personal touch.

These handmade cupcakes are simply too irresistible to resist.

Wine anyone? A chill Sauvignon blanc will definitely get my seal of approval. Hahaha..

This is another part of the Marvelous Suite which i really love. The layout and spaciousness of the area makes you feel as if your in a private powder room instead of a toilet. The partition is made out of stain colored glass, and there's this huge curtain which divides the toilet area and the bedroom. The curtains reminds me as if you're on stage and your about to perform.. then they draw the curtain and it's like "show time!"

This bathtubs are simply amazing.. while soaking .. i could watch my favorite channel or simply listen to my favorite tune. I'm not sure if you can see it but there's a small TV next to the bathtub.

At times, you just feel like eating all these snacks and be a kid again. If you're wondering to throw a last minute cocktail party, i think this room is self contain .. So if party is what they ask for, then party is what they will get ..

Another thing which I look forward on my every stay is the breakfast. I am a breakfast person, no matter how late i stay up at night, nothing can stop me from waking up to the nice aroma of an Arabica Coffee and a warm buttery croissant.

I say look no further ..

Finally, you should attempta visit to The House on Sathorn. It is believed that the 127-year-old colonial mansion on Sathorn Road which is just next to W Bangkok motions a nostalgic, theatrical flair to the city’s old-and-new scene with radical Asian-inspired cuisine and artisanal cocktails.

Diving in Koh Tao

The Island of Koh Tao, is well know for their scuba diving activity. Since Esmond and I haven't tried diving here before, so why not we give it a try. We arrange the dive from the Resort itself, it saves us the hassle to walk and carry my equipment all around.

From the hotel, they provided us the shuttle to the pier where we waited for other divers to join us on the trip. So here we are in this room filling out our paperwork before we go to the underwater world.

The boat has finally arrive, and its time to board!

 

And away we sail, from here it looks as if we are sailing to a journey of no return ..

 

Gears are properly assemble and indeed it's time for our 1st dive ..

 

It took almost an hour plus.. and Esmond wasn't feeling quite ok.  On almost every dive trip i go.. someone is bound to have seasick. In this case, it was Esmond.. hahahah.. poor fellow ..

According to our Divemaster, this are the proposed dive sites ..

 

Some of the cool underwater shots taken by my GoPro ..

 

Can you see me?

 

Unfortunately, the visibility was quite bad. I was also shock that there weren't many corals and marine life. There were this stretch of dead corals all over the seabed. Oh my! i hope they do something about it. I was expecting better than this ..

We only went for two dives for this trip, we wanted to do 3 dives in the day and also one night dive at first. Luckily they told us that the night dive wasn't available due to bad weather conditions and also only two dives were possible on that day because there wasn't any other slots available. If not it will be a waste of money, seriously there's nothing much to see..

So it's time to pack the bags and head back to the resort and plunge in the pool!
