Maui Trip 2012 - day 2

Happy birthday to me!

First thing first! A spam sandwich , with local strawberries, made by yours truly!

After that, we went snorkelling off the beach outside the hotel. Westin is built on a beautiful snorkelling reef zone and we saw lots of beautiful fishes. Janet informed us that a high surge is coming on Sunday and visibility will be affected. She told us that Sat AM will be the best time to get the best out of the reef snorkelling. I felt so surreal snorkeling in Hawaii at 10am on my birthday.

After the snorkelling and relaxing at the pool area for a couple of hours, we went to the Fish Market Maui to get a filet of silver snapper. This place came highly recommended because of the quality of the fish and their marinades are good. We choose the soy,honey,ginger marinade for the fish and got a pound of their ahi poke.  The poke is one of the best i ever had, and the snapper is delicious, although i made a mistake of putting the fish directly on the grill, to get grill mark after it's cooked in the foil. Note to self: fish sticks to grill without oil =) ..

After a nice lunch, we felt another need to relax at the pool again, coupled with a nice nap.

Dinner that night is at Westin Tropica.
I picked it as I wanted a dining experience right by the ocean. This restaurant has 6 tables on the grass area, by the beach, nicely spaced out for privacy.
We made a reservations for 6pm, so that we can watch the sun set behind us with our cocktails, before our dinner.
Their cocktails are famous too. B ordered a Mai Tai and I ordered sin non nombre which has cayenne in it.
Dinner includes ahi & crispy pork belly, seared diver scallops on a bed of quinoa salad, tropica cerviche, beef tenderloin & kona lobster and a dessert sampler plate. All yummy !
The best part is we got 20% discount for the food, on top of being able to spend our Westin voucher at this place. So this is a free meal for us ! woo hoo !

After dinner, we walked back to our hotel on the beach, to exonerate our gluttony =)
