.: The Great Malaysia Seafood Adventure :.

Yeah! Finally the long-awaited trip had finally came yesterday after a good 4 months of postphoning. We have been talking about the trip for ages since the end of last semester but due to the busy 3 months of camp preparation, we only end up going to Malaysia until now. haha...

Straight after class, Jul, Lx, Sotong, Yeling, Winnie and I immediately set off to take the train to Kranji to take a bus to the Singapore Checkpoint while Weilun send Lesley back to her house to get her passport, joining us later. Besides Lx and me, the rest were unfamiliar with the clearing of the Custom, so Lx and I ocsasionally acted like "tour guides", guiding them along and constantly reminding them to stick close together and take care of their belongings. This is my first time entering JB with my friends as for the past 20 years since i was a baby, i am always entering JB with my mum to visit my maternal family and mummy has "trained me well to be a Crossing Causeway Vetran". Hehe...

Soon after that, Lesley and Weilun finally met up with us at the Malaysian Checkpoint and we headed off to JB City Square for shopping. Sigh. Didnt manage to find the Levis graphic tee i wanted over there. Among all of us, only Weilun managed to buy his clothes. It's kinda comical (ironic) to see so many gers waiting for him, the only guy, shopping for his clothes. haha. Reversal of role heh? There aint many nice clothes to buy over there for the gers. Personally, i would still prefer to buy my clothes in Sg rather than in Msia. Somehow there just dont appeal to me and i rarely buy back any clothes from Msia. The only appeal of JB for me were the cheap and good food, the DVDs and the chewing gum. wahaha...

After shopping for DVDs, some Yammi yoghurt and Lixin's Rotiboy, we set off to 大马花园 for our seafood dinner feast to satisfy our cravings and growling tummy. We ordered to about 10 of the favourite dishes..(look below for pics) ...There's 炒面, 铁板豆腐, 鸡精田鸡, 醉虾(Drunken Prawns), 豆苗, Butter Crayfish, Steamed fish, SpicyBBQ Stingray, 苏东油条, chilli "lala" ...10 c0urse Heavenly meal! wahaha... Besides, guess how much the total meal cost? Only RM330!!! That's only RM40 each person and about 18 Sin dollars. Plus there's so much food that nearly burst all our tummy. (In Singapore, It's more likely that your wallet will burst with a hole instead of your tummy.) Yummy... !!!

Just after the meal, we noticed the next table was a family drinking some purple juice which looked like Potassium Permaganate. Purple? Such an odd colour juice.. The fruit juice auntie finally enlightened us that it was the Dragon Fruit Juice (龙珠果) and Weilun ordered one packet to try. We all took turns and tried it. Man!!! Taste.. really great! Buay tahan. Refreshing with a tinge of lemon juice but not sour like lemon juice. Perfect!
