This trip was planned more than a month ago. We were glad to have Botak family to join us. Without them, we'll miss all these good food.
Woke up at 9am, move off at 10am for Botak family and off to Woodlands Checkpoint at 1045am.
Jam at the Singapore & Malaysia customs as we expected, but luckily the jam took us at most 1hour which is mild considering CNY period where many Singaporeans will flock to JB to stock up on their necessities. (Including us?!) :P
Having skipped breakfast, all of us were starving when we reach our lunch destination which Angela highly recommend. 台湾小吃 (Taiwan snacks), something that I truly miss after I came back from Taiwan in August 2008.
Seafood Stew
Oyster Mee Sua
三杯鸡 (Chicken stewed in 3 types of sauce)
Ice-cream Shaved Ice
The first 3 dishes comes with rice, dessert and appetizer. I was so looking forward to the oyster mee sua but sadly it is not as authentic as the ones I tasted in Taiwan (maybe my expectations were too high?)
The ice-cream was sweeeet! Look at him! He simply cant resist ice-cream.
He learnt a trick about posing, tilt your head down and your face will look slimmer.
This is Jovan aka Ah Ta. He's such a sweetie, though at times he can really whine. But you'll forget about all his little naughty behaviour when he smile at you, showing his tiny bunny front tooth.
I miss him already.....
After lunch, we headed to Jusco, Tebrau City to get all the necessities and it cost us a whopping RM350! Imagine how much will it cost us if we were to get them locally?
Gave ourselves 2 hours (per couple/family) for some free & easy shopping before dinner time and were introduced to this restuarant/coffee shop : Wen Qiang Kway Teow Soup (Kway Chap).
''Kway Chap'' Feast
Nicely presented Kway teow soup
Braised Small Intestines
Braised Duck
Braised Chicken Feet
I must say this is by far the most delicious kway chap that I've eaten so far. None in Singapore can be compared to this. At least to me I feel this way.
But the journey to this coffee shop is kind of dangerous with the sudden split lanes, narrow roads and ongoing construction.
Since we are in JB, another food that we miss is the well known Ramli Burger! So we decided to bring back some burger for supper during our mahjong session afterwards.
Enjoying his BBQ chicken stick. But it is too fatty and oily for my liking. What makes it worst is, I ate BBQ Fat and not chicken meat!
(see, the difference when you tilt your head down and when you're not)
Preparing our Ramli Burger
Even though I ate it when its already cold, I must say the taste of this burger (taste like heaven!) is miles away from the one I ate at R&R Northsouth Highway (NSH).
Definitely a foodfull trip for the both of us. Enjoyed the company of Botak Family. We should do this say once in 2 months or something?!
NEXT STOP : TRISTAN PARK, MALAYSIA
