At Desaru with Love

-
How many of you know about Desaru? And how many of you have been there? I think not many people has been to Desaru. Desaru is a beautiful beach which does not get much attention by the government especially the Ministry of Tourism. The reason why I am saying this is because most of the activities are not in the sea but more at the land which are watching crocodile at Croc World Teluk Sengat, riding ostrich at Desaru Ostrich Farm, fishing at Tanjung Balau Fishing Village, fruits picking at Desaru Fruit Farm and watching fireflies along Johor River. How about sea activities? I want jet ski, banana boat and many more!!!
Travel to Desaru unlike old times. There is a one lane highway with such a beautiful bridge heading straight to Desaru. The highway is known as Senai - Desaru Highway.
Not all beaches are opened for public and safe for swimming. This is a beach at Muzium Nelayan is not for swimming because this location has a lot of rocks. Please follow my location given in this post to point you to the exact location for the public beach. The parking rate is RM4.00 per day. Bathing is RM1.00 per person.
Such a beautiful skies.
Such a beautiful tree
Such a beautiful white sandy beach
Such a beautiful blue green sea. This beach is so clean and attractive which you would not hesitate to jump into it. I just do not understand why government and major investors are more interested with the dirty Port Dickson beach than this.

Total Damage: RM6.00
Beach Cleanliness: 4/5
Sea Activities: No
Recommended?: Yes
Location: Desaru, 82200 Johor, Malaysia

Restoran Yu Hing, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
By the appearance of it, Restoran Yu Hing definitely doesn't look appealing enough to become a tourist spot for you as your dining choice. However, I am still going to introduce to you their noodle. They do serve other variety of food but something worth to be here is only their noodle which is known as Beaufort Fried Noodle. Beaufort is a name of a town in Sabah. This is their very own local delicacies which you won't find it easily at any part of Malaysia or even Sabah. You have to be either in Kota Kinabalu or Beaufort to experience it. We can even hardly able to find a table in this run-down looking restaurant which already suggest that how good they are. Beaufort Fried Noodle @RM9.70 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - Still a common looking noodle to you which does not convince you why I am purposely creating a post just to introduce it? You have to come visit for yourself then. I think the same too when it is displayed right in f...

Champ's Bowling Centre, Sandakan

-
Image
Not really much entertainment in Sandakan even though they are just beside the sea. No nice beach for water activities and the nearest island like Pulau Selingan and Turtle Island are about 90 minutes away. As for the town itself, basically is this bowling centre called Champ's which has a very nice and good condition bowling alley, bowling shoes and bowling bowls if to compare with bowling centres like in KL.  Not very big at all for their bowling centre which only has 12 lanes. Their shoes look so new! Here is a demonstration on how to bowl. Looks pro...I wonder how is the end result. So what do guys think? Is it a strike? They have a lounge here as well. And a cafe too! The price of the bowling is cost at RM4.80 per game per pax. We went at their most peak hours so their price basically has not much different than our KL City price. As for the bowling shoes is chargeable at RM2.00 per pax. FYI, the prices not inclusive government ta...

Dim sum is always everyone's favourite even to our Muslim friends but finding a Halal and delicious dimsum is not that easy at all. After I have dined in Restoran Minmax, I know this is the best ever Halal dimsum that's available in Malaysia currently. It advised to come before 12.00pm during office hours or else you will have a hard time finding a seat. Even you able to find a seat, you will need to wait for a long time for the food to arrive.

After so many years and finally I am able to celebrate my god sister, Elayne jie's birthday on the day itself instead of days advanced or belated days. So we decided to dine to a place where she always had her meals with her family which is known as Restoran Makanan Laut Yoke Heng.

The outlook appearance of the restaurant doesn't look appealing to me but this restaurant is so famous among all the well-known Chinese and Hong Kong artiste.

Sports Shooting Club Hatyai (SSC)

Most of people think if you travel to Hatyai and not visiting their temples, you are just wasting your time at Hatyai. As for my personal opinion, if you come to Hatyai and did not go to Sports Shooting Club (SSC) Hatyai to experience the shooting experience with a real gun, I think you are not just wasting your time at Hatyai but you are wasting your time being a human. You only live once and there is no better way to understand these guns than coming over to SSC.   Their gun selections are enough to satisfy your urge. From rifle, pistols, revolvers to shotguns. You would be surprised that their rifle is the cheapest. The price is stated from 890 baht nett for a 15 rounds.  I have tried the rifle, beretta and this Smith and Wesson 4506 .45 ACP. This 45 is my favorite among all with 50m shooting range and 8+1 capacity. One of the most expensive gun to rent here. Basically you are shooting at the target paper like this. You can adjust the range of the target ...

Restoran Xin Dong Ting @Kuchai Lama

In this post I would like to comment about a restaurant which is serving Hunan cuisine. Hunan is a province from China and the owner is migrated from Hunan and opened a restaurant in Malaysia. This is the second branch. This restaurant has a really bad service like almost any where you can see in China. No smile, expect you to order fast, do not like to entertain too many questions about what the food is made of and the worst part is they do not care if you can finish the food. Eggplants with long beans @RM15.00++ Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 2/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - Slight spicy and delicious for a simple eggplant and long beans. Fried meat in farmer style @RM22.00++ Outlook: 1/5 Creativity: 1/5 Taste: 1/5 Price: 1/5 Overall: 1/5 - Hardly any meat in there. What you can see is onion, leek, red chilli and green chilli.
