Tourist's Guide to Malaysia 2014!

This trip with Sam was slightly different because of Boon Huat. I guess the whole atmosphere and experience changed because of him. There wasn't much attention and girl time given to me. :( Anyway, this is a review and reflection of the whole trip to Malaysia!

------------------------------------------- DAY 1 -----------------------------------------------

Snack Time for us!




The first stop was the waiting area where we got lots of FOOD!







First Timer!





This is Boon Huat! The first guy on our road trip! This is his first time to Genting!
Why did we bring a guy along? Why HIM?
Well, he is my friend's special person.




I don't know the name of this place but I can tell you that it is a place where cars stop and rest. There aren't many shops there to look at but it has the basics. There is a snack shop, a snack stall, a few food stalls and toilet.
Mee (something) and Teh Ice!








I, personally did not like the mee. Firstly, it was maggie mee. Secondly, there was a lot of small long veggies. Thirdly, the taste wasn't superb. The only good thing I would mention is the price.
I would recommend to you their Ayam Pengyet. This last stall's Ayam pengyet (according to my friend's aunt) taste good.


The storm is approaching!





The weather was horrible. I guess it was the winter season and Malaysia couldn't snow thus it could only rain. The 6 days, we experience rain almost every day. Welcoming it like an old friend.
Rojak and Satay @ Muar!










The next stop was a Muar! Samantha's Kampong! The rural area is filled with cheap good food! There are street food, stall food and normal food outlets. You will be able to spot a food station within every 5 miles! They each have their own secret recipe that will give a different taste.




Living Cabin @Wetex PRD Muar!

I bought a snow globe, the inside is an Eiffel tower. I wanted to buy a model Eiffel tower but I didn't have the money and space. :( The things sold at the mall is really cheap! I got myself a few pairs of contact lenses and a pair of new Bata shoe that cost 24.99RM. (Receipt: 2312140054)

Boon Huat's New Hair Cut!




 So, at first, the plan was to shop and then later gather back for dinner. Apparently, we were all too full for dinner. We then change plans and went around the neighbourhood. Sam's Aunt wanted to wash her hair and we all went to the shop with her. Boon Huat wanted to cut his hair and was given this "in-trend" hairstyle!
Typical Food Stall @ Muar!








Dinner became supper, we went to a nearby food centre to eat. This is a typical food stall in Muar. All shops are similar. No air con, self-service only.






Muar's food is CHEAP and TASTY!




What food would I recommend? OTAH
The pandan-leaf-looking food is what I crave most in Muar! Each stall has a different taste, it can never taste the same. The first time around, I could taste the fish paste very distinctively. The second time around the paste was grinded finely that I could only savour the whole otah. You can pre-order a huge bulk of Otah at Muar. I don't know the exact location but there are signs boards outside the gate that inform you. Do look out and discover this hidden food places!

Free Car Wash Service!


After the delicious food hunt, a few of us wanted a massage.

Yang Yang Reflexology & Spa

No. 2-4 Jalan Kampung Tengah

Full Body 60/90 mins cost 60RM! Totally worth it!! I highly recommend this place!

We had fun!



It was near midnight and we were washing the car. Splashing water and scrubbing the mud off the car.

After washing, we got inside the house and pack up for tomorrow. I did a calculation and how much I spent today. It was a shocking sum of 200+RM on the first day. >_<
