Everything I at this beach club

#indonesiatrip
Located in Four Points by Sheraton Bintan, this was one of the restaurants included in the All-inclusive package. We ate here for one lunch and one dinner service - do note that the menu is the same for both.

Seating: If you want a nice seat by the pool, be sure to make a reservation. You may get mosquito and sandfly bites if you choose to sit nearer to the beach. I recommend wearing some mosquito repellent or longer bottoms when dining here in the evening.

For all dining, you'll get to enjoy some homemade cassava chips while you wait for your food.

For starters, we tried:
1. Seafood Bowl - 8/10. Very generous portion of seafood, but it was very heavy for a starter. I was full from this that I couldn't finish my main.
2. Salade Caesar - 8/10. It was refreshing but some elements of a Caesar salad were missing. However, it was light and perfect for a starter.
3. Mushroom Cappuccino - 6/10. First few bites were delicious, but it gets overwhelming after a while. Definitely something to be shared for the table. The garlic crouton could be toasted a little more as it got soggy fast.
4. Roasted Pumpkin Soup - 0/10. It was inedible for my taste. Like the mushroom soup, the garlic crouton could be toasted a little more as it got soggy fast.
5. Plan Base Fritto Misto - 10/10 well seasoned vegetable tempura.

If you are going in a group, I recommend ordering one of each type of starter - salad, soup, and meat to share; otherwise, you'll get very overwhelmed by the taste and portion. If you're there alone, I recommend their salad as everything else for mains and desserts is very heavy.

For their mains, we tried:
1. Chicken Breast Steak - 8/10. Chicken was nice, some parts were juicy, some were dry. They gave half a chicken which was a little too much for one person to finish but overall a great dish for someone bulking.
2. Australian Wagyu Burger - 8/10. Another typical beach club food item, nothing special but it was nice. Beef patty was juicy, I feel like they could add more tangy elements to lighten this heavy burger.
3. Buffalo Wings - 10/10. Light and simple, the chicken was fried to perfection and the sauce was well balanced. Feels more like a starter than a main.
4. Panini Chicken Katsu Sandwich - 7/10. It was good but not outstanding, and the bread was a bit too thick.
5. Steam Seabass - 2/10. The fish was very smelly because they steamed it wrongly. Very weird combination of cooking style and flavors.
6. Beach Club Pizza - 8/10. Crust was nice and generous topping, it is basically your regular pizza. Delicious but not mind-blowing.

For desserts, we tried:
1. Banana Fritter - 8/10. Definitely better flavor combination here. However, their bananas are not as ripe and sweet as I wished they would be.

Overall, this was a nice place to get some healthy Western food, even though I prefer the options from their other restaurant. This is definitely perfect for a healthy lunch by the pool or an early dinner to watch the sunset.
