If you were not at Bintan Lagoon Resort during the New Year countdown, you’ve missed out the fun, but here are the highlights of the event.

Hundreds of guests attended the countdown.   It was more than just the sight and sight as guests were in for a real treat on their tastebuds and the excitement of the programme that lined-up for them.

The lobby was transformed into an “ocean” theme adorned with sea creatures decorations like dolphins, seahorses, starfishes and seashells.   The theme was accentuated by the “waves” of silk cloth and lighting effects.  

A yummy spread at the the buffet bar surely whets one’s appetite.   The lovely setting completed the entire atmosphere with decoration of blue silk, seashells, rocks and aquariums.

Each guest received a party pack which consisted a “Happy New Year” feathered headband and a party noisemaker.   A glass cylinder containing live fishes within was part of the table decoration that certainly completed the themed dinner. 

Our chef specially prepared a 3-tier cake befitting the ocassion.

Under the sea…

A wide spread of scrumptious appetisers, entrees,  traditional Indonesian dishes, Japanese selections, fresh salmon, roast beef, lobster salad and delectable desserts that had our guests returning for more.
