Serendah BBQ

September 27, 2008 at 11:35 pm · Filed under Cooking, Food

My bestie was visiting from Australia over the week and we decided to make our way down to Sekeping Serendah retreat for a mini-break. It was supposed to be a group of 4 girls but due to some unexpected circumstances, the other two pulled out later. We still decided to just go since reservations had been made.

The retreat is an 5 acre rainforest jungle with clearings made to house 5 sheds of 3 different materials in their attempt to be one with nature. We chose the glass shed, which looked too good to be true in the photos. The shed is really more than a shed, with open up windows top to bottom, which really gave you the best view of the greenery. Even the bathroom was more open than i bargained for! Lol.

There’s not that much to do around here, though they have a plunge pool in the grounds. There’s also the Serendah waterfalls and some Orang Asli settlements nearby. But we chose to remain in the grounds of Sekeping Serendah solely and kept ourselves relaxed with a good book, a hot cuppa and some engaging conversation.

One of the to-dos here is of course having a barbecue. We wanted to keep it simple as it was only the two of us. Marinated some chicken strips with lemon thyme, and wrapped some prawns with prosciutto. For greens, we buttered some portobello mushrooms and asparagus.

We wanted to have a salad with the cooked chicken strips first. Threw together Green Oak lettuce leaves, cherry tomatoes and sliced onion with a lemon juice & olive oil dressing. But the prawns were almost done and we did think it would go well so we decided to throw that in too, along with the asparagus.

So here’s what we dined to

Great mini-break away indeed.
