Batu Pahat Day Trip
Good morning world.
Last Thursday was a public holiday and in order to not waste that one day holiday in between of weekday, I proposed to the BF to do a short trip to Batu Pahat (it was suppose to be Kluang but the famous railway coffee shop having off day every Thursday so no luck, plan changed.). It was a beautiful morning and granpa sun shine brightly. The day was perfect for the trip. We started our journey at around 8-9am in the morning. The journey took us around 130-2 hours to reach Batu Pahat from Johor. As our time is really short and tummy space is limited, the places we went to are really few but there is no harm to share. Upon arrival to the small city, our first stop was the Han Kee Cake and Cafe. The famous Otak bun is definitely a special breakfast ever. The taste is okay but im just so fancy about how intelligent is the people to put bun, egg and otak in a combination. Tada, your business, boom. So we can see that sometime we just have to be creative and moves the first step.
This one here is big. Slight bigger and is cut into 4 sections while small you would have smaller bun cut in 2 sections. (we order small but they just came in big one.)
After filling our only half empty stomach from the breakfast before leaving JB, I have always want to visit the landmark of Batu Pahat, the floating hand that im fascinated about. So, we make our move to Dataran Penggaram. As it's the public holiday(The sultan Johor birthday), they are preparing some sort of carnival with all the canopies and some poops smell all around. Therefore, we did not spend too much time there but few shots is definitely a must. Its somehow incredible on how they could make the hands floating tho. I bet its all made from cement, engineering huh.
Tell me how they do this?
Later on we have no clue where to head next, so we decided to go for kueh chap despite our almost full storage. This kueh chap is authentic as it is not the kueh tiaw like typically found in jb. The bf mentioned that is why people came here just for this, the main character kueh chap. Others are just a side dish. However, i think my hometown Miri still have this and im totally not a fans of kueh chap so i was not affected in any way. Dont mind me. We order small size for kueh chap but as i was eating, I felt like it took me forever to finish it. In the end when paying, we actually was given a big size *roll eyes*.
Hereby i attach the price for this meal because i personally think it's cheap and so filling.
Basically, after the kueh chap, i have no space anymore to tuck in food at that very moment so after squeeze some brain juice, we decided to go somewhere, the beach it says. The journey took less than half an hour. If i recall it correctly, it is as called Pantai Wawasan. It was a peaceful beach with swamps. The scenery was breathtaking cause i have been long for beach as it was so hard to even get to beach in jb.
Here's one of the beach.
We spent an ample time with the sea breeze there before we move to our next destination, the batu pahat mall. The only memory we had in the mall was im trying to find a decent white dress for my upcoming baptism but failed to do so, carried back home two packs of 2kg+200g milo (rm29.90)with 2 packs of soon hup crackers (rm3.29)and my first tealive. Thats how we fall for sale but seriously thats so cheap so theres no harm to save for later.
Thats me with tealive (in case you want to know #vain)
While waiting for time to pass in the mall, i was planning to leave batu pahat and to have a look at the foochow guang bing shop at Yong Peng before heading home. Luckily, bf suggested to go for Pak O' cendol before leaving because thats my first time having cendol pulut and it's so delicious! Im a fans of glutinous rice! Guys, you guys should go and try it. Apart from being yummy, the price got me jaw dropping too. Cendol pulut only cost us around rm2.
Thats a wrap for our batu pahat trip.
I was happy with this short trip. As im having RCIA class every Saturday for the 8 months now, it's likely imposibble for me to plan for a trip cause i gave my weekend to God. Therefore, it's so precious to have holiday off during weekdays, like this one.
P/s: As mentioned, i was disappointed with the famous foo chow guang bing shop cause their original/plain guang bing was sold out. So, guys if you guys want to go and try, go early as possible. Even though the shop open till night but the bing selling fast.
I shall end here, till next time!
