[Sunday outing] Durian Day Trip

A Day's trip to Segamat for a 'Durian' Tour with my parents! Baby joined us too, and we boarded the coach at 615am on a Sunday morning. The tour was organised by Kolam Ayer RC and Boon Keng Travel, and the tour fee included all 3 meals (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner). We spent an hour plus waiting on both customs clearance.
 
The coach brought us to Skudai for a brekkie fix. We had a stop at one of the famous eateries in JB, Restoran Yong Xin Abalone Kway Teow Soup. The broth was savory light and sweet. The bowl of Kway Teow Soup consisted of a good mix of seafood and meat ingredients. If you enjoy having a breakfast consisting a dish with light clear soup with fresh ingredients, then Yong Xin's Kway Teow Soup just might be the option for you!

 
Our coach then headed to Segamat, and arrived around lunch time for the main focus of the tour. Many of our tour mates were excited for the Durian Feast that awaited us! I was glad the organizers were also considerate enough to prepare Fried Bee Hoon and Curry Vegetables at the premises too, in addition to the Durians!

 
I have a very neutral relationship with Durian, as I neither hate, nor do I love the King of Fruits. I only took 1-2 seeds for a taste, and filled my stomach with the bee hoon instead.


 
The tour included a shopping stop at Bukit Indah, and I picked up a grey pullover sweater at RM30.

 
We had an early dinner at 5pm at Chef Wah, it is a Chinese (Cze Char) restaurant which is located at Taman Nusa Bestari, JB. Among all the dishes served, I enjoyed the Indonesian Shrimp Pot and Nonya Steamed Fish very much.


 
The food was pretty decent with hits and misses, and we ended our tour after a delightful dinner. We were glad that the custom clearances were pleasant and smooth. Baby enjoyed himself very much, and he wanted to go join in on the next 'Durian Tour' whenever possible!

 
I ended my post with an appreciation token from Emirates and Singapore Turf Club. Thanks ya!

Preview screening of Planes

Image
 Thanks Claressa for asking me along to join her for the preview screening of Planes at GV VivoCity.   --- Posters of Planes ---         I was thinking to myself during the show, has PIXAR run out of ideas to make a movie? This movie has all the hallmarks of a standard PIXAR movie, such as Cars/Wall-E/Toy Story, with the looks and graphics being the same.     The movie, Planes is a carbon copy of 'Cars' with both the films logo being similar. Oh well, seems like a rip off to me!       The film focuses on Dusty Crophopper (voiced by Dane Cook), an ambitious crop-dusting plane that predictably spends his days flying over tall grass spraying fertilizer. His dream is to become a racing plane, soaring high and racing around the world.   Though he is built not for flying this capacity but his biggest drawback is that he is afraid of height, as he gets used to flying at low heights.   Skipper Riley (voiced by Stacy Keach) i

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products.
