note: Dinner is optional, depends on consensus
Summary of Trip
With consensus, the group shall meet at 1st Shell Petrol station after clearing JB Immigration/Customs (once out of "customs lane", slow down and lookout on left). Once all have arrived and gazzed up, we proceed to Desaru fruit farm (please have own breakfast before coming) before taking the leisurely ride to Sungei Rengit (Pengarang). Journey on the new Senai-Desaru expressway is expected to be smooth but there shall be NO reckless overtaking, lets be considerate and safe riders.
Lobster Lunch!!! Lets have different styles of lobsters but this time, we'll order MEDIUM sized ones as small ones are not as shiok (a lot cheaper though). Butter-fried (recommended), stir fry with cheese, stir fry with duck eggs, braised with sauce, etc. Each of us shall have halve of each style (i.e. we order 2 or 3 styles), making at least a "whole" lobster for each to make the trip worthwhile. And of course, there will be the usual "stir fry" vegetables like balachan kang-kong, baby kai-lan, hotplate toufu, deer or ostrich meat, etc. Estimated damage? Maybe about <Rm80 each but will depend on what is ordered.
After lunch, a short walkabout around the smallish town is good for digestion, then head over to Se Yuan Bakery (香饼 is highly recommended) {N01 21.033 E104 13.357}. Once the shopping is done, we shall refuel at Shell petrol station if necessary before heading for more shopping at Jusco Bukit Indah. The last stop shall as usual be at GP Shell before proceeding back to Singapore. Whether to have dinner before returning to Singapore shall depend on consesus, or... OTOT lor ^_^
Note:
After shopping at SGT, the group decided to proceed to Sutera instead of Bt Indah or Tebrau City. At Sutera, while 5 had massage at Reborn, the rest went for shopping and met back at 6pm for dinner at Bt Indah "Old Town" hawker area. Last itinerary was a nice Rm8 bike wash (apart from topping up discounted petrol) at car wash vendor directly opposite "The Embassy Hotel" along Jln Dato Abdullah Tahir (same road as New York Hotel).
