Our 1st Malaysia Drive in Trip!!

This is our very first drive in road trip to Malaysia and all thanks to our good friend Kelvin for lending us his vehicle GPS. We invited Brian, his girlfriend Xinyi, and also Yan jun to join us in our virgin drive-in.

We met up at about 1330 at paya lebar and figured our way to our first stop in JB, City Square. Traffic and clearing the custom was smooth and we made it to JB about 1430. We were pretty confident of the route to City square mall but somehow, smart alek like us reached the shopping mall and went to the wrong side of the road and kalua which means 'exit' in malay to the main road. How idiot huh?! We made one big round, but thanks to our saviour 'GPS', finally reached our destination!!!!!!!

 

We head straight to level 4 'Tung Chen' a crowded small cafe for lunch. We ordered what seems quite popular there the 'Tom yum mini hotpot chicken', which tasted slightly sweeter that normal sweet sour soup base. It was good for a price of 8.90rm. We also had 'french butter toast' and also ice Chendol desserts to go along. It was a good start !

One of our frequent visit would be the 'Watson' shop where most products are valued at half price. We shopped for about 4hrs and finally had caramel banana and toffee nut ice-cream from Mac. We left the mall around 830pm and head straight for dinner!

  

We have finally reached our main objective of the day, makan SEAFOOD, located at Taman Sentosa !!! There are several restaurants and based on friends recommendations, we decided to go to Hiang Kee restaurant and ordered 6 dishes namely:
1.Salted Egg Crab,
2.Shuang Wei Fish (White cord steam and fried fish)
3.Stir Fried Sweet Potato Leaf
4.Meng Gu Pork Ribs

5.Hei Po (Deep-fry butter clayfish) 

6.Hotplate Bean Curd     

  

In fact, all the dishes were simply awesome and the bill was outrageously CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP! Per pax only $20 for a 6 course meal. VALUE FOR MONEY! After which, we went across the road for MORE and MORE FOOD.  We had lok lok (mini van selling various kind of finger-food stick) and 'King of Kings' Durian. Some say its is better that 'Cat of Kings' durians. The seed of the durian was as small as Bryan pinky. WOW! Thumbs up !!

 .... and that's all folks for our virgin trip.
