Soh Po Anniversary (Part 2)

Final Destination ~ Johor Bahru

Our next destination was Johor Bahru. It's been years i didn't visit the place. How has it become? I hardly can imagine.

Well, felt real great pleasure to have Steven as our guide (Ting couldn't join us coz she needed to take care the little prince - Feng Zai :D) as we didn't plan anything at all to be there except got the hotel to be booked.

Eat, Eat, Eat and EAT!
Haha...no need GPS to tour around JB as we had Steven as our walking GPS, no more recalculating and recalculating...ho ho ho!

First, we got to eat the homemade dumpling by Steven's mom. The most important ingredient used is the spicy shrimp! Ho Chak where you can't get it anywhere else :P Don't be jealous :P We're just lucky enough

What we had next? yo yo...it's well-known ABC topping with chocolate! Heard about it from Steven for so many years and finally i got to taste it! Tauhu Bakar, big and juicy, different from KL one woh, u must get it tried!

Tracy dear and I were so full now. Haha...guess what we did the next minute? Steven took us exercise in Istana Johor. One of the places where he's dating with Ting last time oh! It's also one of the hot spots for the just-married to take their photos here! We saw three couples shooting photos there, so, what do you think? A lot of people jogging there and we appeared to be the odd one, absolutely, as we're not on our sport attires but with sandals :D Well, if you've completed one big circle in the Istana, that means you have done your visit to the zoo as well coz it's just next door! Cool, isn't it?

And then, we sat down on the grass, enjoying the opposite view of Singapore while the wind kept blowing our faces. Just nice! Okay, good exercise for the day. Now, we still had something special which is highly recommended but not yet put into our stomach. Ding...Tampoi Laksa and Si Ham! It's as great as described by Steven. So, you must try if you happened to be in JB.

Well, now we truly full till we needed more walks. So, we're heading to Danga Bay. Couldn't recall how the old bay appeared to me but I believe the new renovated one now is more happening. We had our leisure walk and sat down when we got tired. Not so windy, though. So? We had our beers to cool down :D

By ten, we're all exhausted. Time to call it a day! It's one great day exploring places in JB and of course the FOOD! It's F1 racing day in Monaco, I didn't even able to watch the whole race as my eyes were too tired. Less than 20 mins, I was asleep till the morning!

The next morning, last before we left JB, after few rounds of finding, we at last got to devour the tasty Kuih Teow Kia! Yeh, one satisfatory soh po anniversary trip!

Arigatoo ne
Thanks for the super warm hospitality from Steven and Ting when we're around JB. It's not as simple as you're exploring Malacca. JB is BIG, everything is BIG! And not forgetting my great travel accompanion - Tracy dear, to make this trip so wonderful, enjoyable and memorable! Lap u x1000000000...n

疫情,学到了什么?

自2019年爆发的新冠肺炎,从人心惶恐到今天的习已为常,人类到底学到了什么? 偶看到带有病菌的人,罔顾他人性命,到处趴趴走。 偶看到为了人权自由,不惜走上街头示威,自由重要过一条人命。 偶看到各个领袖自导自演个精彩的片段,都是为了个人私欲,反映权与钱极大诱惑。 偶看到的有美大佬以...
