Day Trip Only 7 Oct 22

This is the Children's Day holiday for us educators of the younger minds so what a better way to keep us young then taking a ride to keep our mind stress free and do what we enjoy most. We had planned a day for riding around the western coast of Johore and up to Melaka (aimed for dinner) and then will hit back to Singapore before the night ends (12 Midnight). It will just be a nice slow ride along the western coast of Johore to start of the ride. First up....ride to breakfast to fill in the hungry morning tummy.

Our first stop to sightsee today will be the fortune dragon site in Yong Peng. This is a. mini garden filled with taoist sculptures and mythology. There is a temple nearby as well. Entrance to the park is cheap about 10 ringgit per person. Although the park is not that big, you can spend some 20 to 30 minutes within the park as you take photos among the artwork.

From here the sky has already started to turn dark. And we were only half a day into our planned ride. From Yong Peng we entered the highway and were caught in the rain along the way into Melaka. The rain stopped as we entered Melaka although it was for a short respite period of time.

Klebang Coconut Shake

Our next foodie stop in Melaka was also the famous Klebang coconut shake in the coast of Melaka. As we were festing on the food and the coconut shake, a huge and heavy downpour rained on us. Stuck in heavy rain....lets sit back and enjoy Coconut shake.

Sungei Duyung

For dinner we headed down to Sungei Duyung river mouth to enjoy the old school kampong style seafood dinner.

the catch was fresh from the sea as the "nelayans" or fisherman arrived in their boats delivering their catch to the restaurants located by the river mouth. Dinner was a simple affair as the two. of us shared the spread. We truly enjoyed the dinner and the taste is as usual....marvellous.
