it a continuation from or trip in Seremban anyway. since the previous post is quite long, it’s better to make a separate post.
after the food hunt in Seremban, it’s time to head to our next destination – Port Dickson
the place that we are staying for the day here
the place is actually quite a distance from Port Dickson town (around 9km away). but for those who don’t mind the distance (and the price!), this place might be suitable for you.
some photos of the deluxe room that we stayed :-
the living room and with ASTRO!!! important for my weekend football fix you know?
the dining place
the kitchen. but no cooking are allowed
the bedroom with a double bed and other necessities
bathroom and the toiletries
and… there’s a balcony too!
fishes from below the balcony
this is how the rooms look like from outside. there are two storeys
swimming pool #1
swimming pool #2
there’s a beach just outside the resort too. but it’s not so clean on the day we went there. not because of the rubbish, but roots, plants, etc. i guess it was low tide at that time?
looks nice eh? that’s because i have omitted some unpleasant parts of the beach. haha!
not long after checking-in, it’s a 1 1/2 hour agonizing drive to Melaka via the old road.
it is another food hunt upon arriving in Melaka.
1st stop, getting our fix of Baba laksa & cendol in Jonker 88. that is our usual haunt in Melaka! be prepared for a long queue if you are going there on weekends. the queue never stops till night!
Baba laksa
and not forgetting Durian Cendol and mango ice kacang
Since there’s still a lot of time to spare, we decided to wander around…
i never find anything special at this wall (A’Famosa), but will camwhore with it in the background anyway to show that we are in Melaka.
when the time (and the temperature is right), it’s time to head back to Jonker Street
i know this is a lousy photo shoot…
taking some photos while GF buying some knick-knacks
some activities organised during the weekends on Jonker Street
i missed the chicken rice balls earlier as we did not know that the shop closes as 4pm. damn!
before leaving Melaka, it’s time for Satay Celup in Capitol.
BUT BUT BUT…
the queue was so bloody long outside the shop, we decided to give it a pass and head to another Satay Celup shop in Jalan Ong Kim Wee - Ban Lee Hiang.
over here, there was a long queue too, but not as insane as the one in Capitol.
*there’s a tip for you, they do allocate tables behind of the shop, so do go there and try your luck there as most of the people does not know the existence of the ‘extra tables’.
what you see here is only the beginning, at the end of it, we had at around 30 sticks each. the price is still quite reasonable (60sen each), with the usual fishball, kankung, shellfish, meats etc. but most of the time, we dig for the prawns (which is VERY fresh and crunchy) and also taiwanese sausages (our favourite).
for me, there’s nothing really special with satay celup and some of the people with not like to eat it as it seems unhygienic as they do not change the satay sauce every time the previous customer from the same table left.
but hell, the experience of dunking the sticks of meat in satay sauce (albeit a recycled one) is a fun thing to do!
after the dinner, it’s another 1 1/2 ride (almost) back to Port Dickson using the highway + trunk road. funny that the time taken to and fro is the same although the route taken is different, right?
left early the next day as we are scared of the jam in the highway (as it as a 3 day holiday on that weekend). no breakfast were provided for us as we stayed there using the complementary coupon.
thought of taking breakfast in the town as i know there’s a few good place there, but laziness got over us. so we end up having this for breakfast :
HOW CAN YOU FORGET SEREMBAN SIEW PAU??!!! haha!
and this is the final touch of our trip.
