Tanjung Sepat Food Trip

Hello everyone. 

Please forgive me for my sudden absence in the blogosphere, life has been really hectic this year. Also proven by the drastic downhill in the number of posts this year compared to past year's. I have to admit I kind of lost my blogging mojo, I've tried opening Blogger several times before this, but all that came out was 'hello guys' and .... that's it. Oh well, but this time Imma sit my ass down on this not-so-comfortable chair and start typing out some crap that hopefully people will read. 

Tanjung Sepat, known for it's great seafood and nevertheless the Mui Choi Pau (veggie pau).  The family wanted to head down there for a food trip weeks ago, but no action was taken until today. Hmm, must be a 20112011-thing I guess? I would do anything for good food, so food trip it was! Plus, it was a perfect opportunity for a semi-vacation though I wouldn't call it a vacation but, with packed schedules like mine and the rents' where in the world can we find time for a week long vacay. It was my second time heading down to Tanjung Sepat, the last time I've been there was during my Port Dickson trip, we stopped by Tanjung Sepat for lunch and to purchase some of their well known paus, but sadly they were out of stock then. No fret, no fret this time, we've got plenty, and I mean really. 50 veggie stuffed paus, U MAD? :P   Well, obviously they aren't all for us but for ze lovely relatives and neighbours :) 

The SEAFOOD, yes according to my mom if you Google "Tanjung Sepat Seafood", the first place that pops up would be Ocen Restaurant, and yeap that was where we stopped for lunch. The restaurant was situated by the sea thus the breeeezzeee, i laike. As we waited for the food to come, rents' and I decided to take a stroll down the near by jetty. The sun was scorching hot, hallelujah for shades, my eyes would've been fried without them. Great time to even out my two toned skin too ^_^ But seriously, after volley practice that day the two tone got even more obvious, gah someone invite me swimming or to a beach please, I'm desperate to even out my skin tone! Enough of my rants, moving on. Food was pretty good, the clams and crabs were really fresh!, the only downside was the portion of the crabs, it was really small :(  Not long after that, we got back on the road and made our journey back to KL, made a few stops on the way such as the Dragon Fruit Farm, even had a dragon fruit popsicle, hehehe ^_^v and also some kajang satay at the Dengkil rest stop. I'm more than satisfied with this trip though only 7 hours but, heh. Like I said I would do anything to get my hands on some good food ;) Till the next post, take care!

Port Dickson Trip - Day Two & Day Three

Day 2 started of with buffet breakfast at the resort restaurant, after that it was just lazing in the room till night. I did my nails, read a magazine and watched streamed CSI: New York on the laptop. Horay, for free WiFi connection in the room. Walked around the resort in the evening and drove out for dinner.

Under the scorching sun by the outdoor pool.

Went to this restaurant for dinner. Food was good, but quite pricey. No mouth watering food pictures this time, taking pictures of the food totally slipped out of my mind when it arrived. 

connected to the couch and transformed into an extra bed.

And yes, this was where I slept on the second night, MUCH more comfier than 3 in a bed. Slept like a log :) Since the resort doesn't provide extra blankets, I had to use bath robes and extra towels to keep myself warm that night, luckily the air conditioning wasn't that cold. I insisted not to sleep in the bed with mom and dad on the second night cause things were getting kind of awkward since that afternoon.  I realize I always get the couch/floors/joint pillows whenever on family trip, for instance in Penang last year. But at least I had a place to sleep, I ain't complaining, just stating :)

Lavender shampoo, lavender body soap, lavender conditioner & LAVENDER BODY LOTION <3

Day 3 

By the private pool. It was all soaking feet, flipping water and walking up and down the steps for me. Dad joked saying I should swim right before we checked out and leave the next guest a lil' something something. HAHA!

At the lobby lounge, awaiting to check out. 

Attempt of a picture with the resort.

Pasar Besar Seremban for some recommended Beef Noodle.

The Beef Noodle store we ate at. Wasn't the best Beef Noodle in the world but it was maybe one of the most disappointing bowl I've tried. It's quite hard to find a satisfying bowl of Beef Noodle. 

The noodle served wasn't Lai Fun and the taste of the soup was quite light to me. The ones deep in KL are still the best <3

Stopped by this popular bakery in Seremban, they're known for their kick ass Siew Paos.
Bought a couple of boxes of them as gifts for the relatives, and neighbours too for taking care of Rainbow and watering the plants while we were away. Sounds like a good line in a some "Jiran" essay, am I right?

That's about it i guess, now ... it's time to see what just got passed down to me.

Ze korkor's laptop!

Since it's mine, I Kitty-fied it! Awh, look at that note!

Port Dickson Trip - Day One

Well, I'm back from the 3 day 2 night stay in Port Dickson. This trip was kind of unexpected and sort of a last minute thing. (i only found out on the 3rd!) I kept bugging my parents to bring us somewhere for the holidays, but we had to cope with Cherm's college schedule and Korkor's internship, hence we seized this long weekend for a short family trip to PD.

The drive seemed like it took forever! Even with the help of my Aunt's GPS, it didn't seem any easier to find this place. "Alternative Route" says GPS = "I DON'T KNOW LAA!!"  BUT, with the mighty iPhone and its Google Maps, we eventually we found our way to the right restaurant, Hong Seng Seafood Restaurant at Tanjung Sepat just in time for lunch. Mom said it serves really good seafood. Well it better be!

The beach view by the restaurant.

Korkor and I.

White Clam with Superior Soup.
Mm Mm Good!

Claypot with Five Sea Treasures.
Five sea treasures were, Crabs, Prawns, Pomfret, Fish Maw and Sea Cucumber.
Something different I would say, prawns and crabs were very fresh!

Fried Oyster with Egg.
Never use to like this dish when I first had it in Penang, but here it really changed my perspective. 

Kai Lan with Mui Choi.
What's there not to like? Both of my favorite veggies in a dish :D

All of the dishes were surprisingly very delicious! Maybe cause mom did her research in what to order there. HEE. After that we continued our journey to the hotel. We stayed in The Legend International Water Homes. Each Balinese inspired villa at The Legend Water Homes has it's own private pool and garden right in the room itself, sounds cool eh, having a pool just a few feet away?  If I could have swim in this trip I would definitely be in the pool 24/7. But the sad thing is the water is always freezing cold! Okay rephrase, if the water was warm and if I could swim in this trip I would definitely be in the pool 24/7  :D

2 King Size Beds

Couch and the coffee table.

The Kitchenette.

Private Pool (4ft)

The quite-open bath room. 

Walked around the villas;

By the other villas.

With 'rents.

Archery available, though quite pricey.

 That concludes Day 1. Will blog about day 2 and 3 in another blog post.

Genting Trip 2010

Genting was fun, ofcouse la for someone like me who hasn't been there in ages, literally! Went on some rides I never thought I would go on, which actually turned out really fun. Overall, great bonding time with everyone :) But the greatest achievement is to ever Go-Kart before my brother Michael, twice! HEH in his face!

The more you look at it, the gayer it becomes.

4D show was terrifying, I wanted to sleep at night so i 

practically shut both eyes and peeked whenever it felt safe. 

" I WANT TURTLE, MA DE!"

This ride got us all soaked!

I never knew I bowl that well, HA! 

Last day.

Sorry for the boring post, some things ruined my mood. Remember the Nuffnang If I Had Rapunzel's Hair Competition? Well, good news is I won a pair of tickets, bad news is they got revoked because of my silly mistake of directly replying my attendance to the the email which sent the notification, instead of sending the email to another specific email address which was written in the email. Disappointed indeed!
