Disgusting scene at Kukup

Just when we got off the car, we were welcomed by some strong disgusting fishy smell. After sitting down at the seafood restaurant then I realised where it came from.

There's a few boat loading bags and bags of fishes and fish heads to the near-by kelongs. These are the feed for the fishes and crabs rear in the kelong I suppose. It was simply an disgusting experience to eat at the opened-air restaurant with plenty of "fishy" air.




I totally agreed with SGMale that we won't be going back there again!!!!

Road Trip to Kukup

Woke up in the morning, notice that the sun was shining brightly. Called Friend A up and asked if he wants to join us for a road trip to Kukup, an immediately 'OK' was the reply.

Ok, why Kukup? Well, after doing some research on the internet for some great seafood in Malaysia, there are some blogs that mention about some good seafood restaurants in Kukup and hence the trip there.

Traffic was moderate as we entered via Tuas Second Link. We stopped by and visited Pontian and it's shopping mall on our way to Kukup.

Pontian is rather a boring and unexcited town and there isn't really anything worth visiting there.

We soon hit the road again after stopping for an hour at Pontian.

After about another hour, we finally reach our destination at 4.30pm. To our dismay, there isn't really a lot of seafood restaurants there. After much discussion, we decided to have early dinner since there isn't much places to shop around over there.

We ordered the below dishes which I personally think are not worth the price (RM$110.00) we got charged for.








Fishy smell filled the air there as we tucked in our food..Yucks! It would probably the first and last time I will ever go there.

Chinese Garden Lantern Festival 2008

Brought SGFemale and son to Chinese Garden on Thursday since the weather was good. Decorated with 21 themes of lanterns, including Hello Kitty and her friends, the Mid-Autumn mood fills the air with laughter and joy. It is the ideal place to be to celebrate all that the Mid-Autumn festival means: The spirit of togetherness and reunion amongst family and friends.

Our son was very excited and happy the entire evening. We bought him a ballon dog that floats on 4 legs and our son was very much attached to his 'dog' the whole nite.

Lantern Fantasy 2008 is the BIGGEST CHARACTER LANTERN SHOW EVER IN THE WORLD, with close to 300 character lanterns handcrafted by 106 lantern craftsmen, over a 3-months period with an average of 16 working hours daily. To create this festival, the organisers have also used 30000m of wires, 18000 pieces of bulbs, 16500m of fabric, 26 tonnes of steel and 750 tubes of fluorescents!

Lantern Fantasy 2008 at the Chinese Garden is easily accessed by car with ample parking available, or a 3-minute walk by MRT to Chinese Garden Station (EW25).

Please go visit if you have not done so!
