Summary of Trip
Date of trip shall depend on availability of the group kakis.
Participants shall have their own breakfast and meet at 1st Shell Petrol station after clearing JB Immigration/Customs. Once all have arrived and gazzed up, we'll ride leisurely to Tg Pengelih jetty via the Senai-Desaru expressway, passing by (not entering) Sungai Renggit along the way. At Pengelih, we'll visit the the disembarkation checkpoint (if taking a ferry from Singapore), enjoy some sea breeze and take a peek at the "small red dot" if weather permits. Once done, we take a short ride into small town of Sungai Renggit (also known as 四湾岛). I decided not to visit the fruit or ostrich farms... focus on MAKAN!!!
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 (always 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 1 to 1½ lobsters for each biker 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? Should be <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, those who need refuel can do so at Shell petrol station near the restaurant 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 ^_^
