Muar trip

Another 3 Atlantiz members had made their trip to the holy city that I was born - Muar. Yea!!!

It was a very hurry decision when we decided to go. I had been planning to go back to my hometown for some time since I've not been back for several month. Those 3 fellas were so steady and accepted my invitation to join me on the trip back. I was honor to have Liang, Wee Ser and Soon Seng to be my companion along the way.

We set off the trip one hour behind schedule because ...the driver over slept. :P
As always, every trip would have a objective and a mission to be completed. The main objective of this trip is to savor all the good food along the way to Muar. And I'm proud to say that we did it!

We first arrived at Batu Pahat which is one of the fast growing area in Northern Johor. Many buildings with the British architecture during the colonization was spotted in the town, adding a lil touch of nostalgia. We reach there during lunch time and to our surprise, most of the eatery actually don't open for lunch service. Four desperate souls end up eating some kinda 'famous' Nasi Briyani recommended by Liang. The verdict - just ok only...

Finally, the holy Muar town center with lots of local delicacy.

This is a small road side stall which serve wanton noodles. The hawkers are really very thoughtful, all the stalls selling different delicacies will approach you for orders once you settle down. Which also mean you do not have to walk under the hot sun to get the food ordered one by one. It will be serve to your table when its ready, altogether. Ain't it nice?



Having dessert at a road side stall.. pretty cool...


Later that day, we walk around in my grandpa's garden and palm oil plantation, seeing different plants.

The biggest loser in card games... I've lost count at how many time he had loss... haha


During the trip, we had been eating non-stop all day long. Especially the 2nd day. Omg.. We have breakfast at 10 something, lunch at 12, tea at 2 something.. A really tough test for our stomachs.


Oh no... Liang seems to pick up a fight...haha..
Not exactly, he is asking for direction for some nice fishball noodle in Yong Peng.

The trip is not an eventful one but definitely a 'foodful' one...

Everything seems perfect except for the super heavy rain on our way back...




Merci!!!
