There are a few ways to describe Club Med. One of it is the food that the village (Club Med's term for each of its establishment globally, eg. Bali Village, Bintan Village etc) provides for the guests and its staff.
It is always an enjoyable experience to dine in the village and i am spoiled with choices. Keywords: spacious, plentiful and warm.
-- Spacious --
The village has a big common dining area to meet the big number of guests and the staff. It has smartly designed the big area into different cosy themes and guests can choose any theme that could best meet their dining experience for the day. There are small tables for two as well as big tables for ten and in-between. All tables are properly layout with the fine dining type of standard. It also provided more than enough space for people to mingle and walk around the tables and to the food serving area without making u feel cramp and dumb to keep knocking into stuffs or people. High ceiling and good ventalization.
-- Plentiful--
The food serving area is positioned centrally and can be easily accessed. It serves different cuisines for each meal. Taking Bali village as an example, there are Orential cuisine, Korean cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Italian cuisine, Indian cuisine, Western cuisine and typical local cuisine (in this case will be Indonesian food). There are also signature dishes prepared especially by the chef for the day :-)
In addition, the dining hall provides free flow of various fruit juices, white/red wines, beer, different flavour of teas/coffees, dessert corner, salad corner etc. Though most dishes could not be considered the best of its kind, i think they have prepared the food pretty well and tasty. The food is very well arrangement. I do enjoy it. The soup is a bit salty to my standard.
The meal times are 7.15am to 9.15am for breakfast; 12.15pm to 2.15pm for lunch and 7.15pm to 9.30pm for dinner. In-between, guests can patronize another smaller dining room for late lunch or dinner if they miss the meal or need more to fill it up (not me, of course). Drinks and snacks are also served whole day at the bar counter near the swimming pool area.

-- Warm --
The staff (or the G.O.) are warm and hospitality to join the guests during the meal time. I believe they are encourage to do so to engage the guests and make them feel at ease / at home. To be a G.O., one of the requirements is that you must be a single (ie no commitment). They come from different countries: Indonesian, France, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Australia, China etc. Once you are in the village, you are in an international community.
Am I in Heaven now ? I dun know. I just know that i am still alive now. Ha...ha...ha...but it is definitely a fine place to go for relaxation and fun without much to worry about. Carefree to eat, to play, to sleep, to swim, to drink, to read, to dream and to see people from around the world.

i also wanna go! but club med is very ex leh.. checked out Bintan one already v ex per pax, can already take plane go somewhere further le
It is indeed expensive to go to club med. Consider again when they have a promotion. I only go club med when there is a good promotion.
However, you are still likely to consider and hesitate after the discounted total cost especially when u start to compare it where else u can go with the same cost. I do such comparison too ;-)
But the experience is good and you will its value in it. Give a try. Maybe go have some rest and fun for your next birthday or 2nd anniversary ? ;-)
