A Pleasant Evening

Its weekend night and i had no plan for the night till 5pm when salmah, my colleague, buzz me via tonic asking about my plan for that night. The initial plan is to just having a teh tarik session at our common beloved mamak restaurant near the office. But then, something has triggered our mind and we suddenly decide to have seafood for dinner and it must be the fresh ones. So, kuala selangor is the answer! And we have Anne, Zira and Salmah's sis joining us made things merrier.

We started the journey at 6.30pm from office, with me, salmah, zira n salmah's sis in one car and we met anne along the way. It took us about 1 hour drive from putrajaya to the restaurant. But the journey was worth it despite of meeting with stretches of jammed vehicles.

The restaurant's not really located in Kuala Selangor, it's actually 28km from K.Selangor. The place called Jeram. Its in between Kapar, Klang and Kuala Selangor. I've never been to this place. So, Salmah became the GPS. We reached there around 8.15pm.

Ok, the restaurant was named, Aroma Ikan Bakar. Some of you might been there, but for me it's the first time. It looks like ordinary seafood restaurant located by the sea that offers various kind of seafood. Yeah, i went to the restaurant like this few times before, but this place offers much more kind of seafood and yes, they are fresh and cheap some more. Wait till i tell you the price later. The restaurant is big, lotsa table (yeah it is a lot), and they said that its hard to find an empty table during weekends. Luckily, there were not many customer when we reached there. The restaurant also offers many kind of sitting place. You can choose to either to sit in their little bamboo shed, which you need to pay extra RM10 per hut, or at ordinary table in thier restaurant. Moreover, there were an event on going that time, which means they have all the facilities and instruments for events.

the hut

The Food. We had Masak 3-rasa Ikan But-But (i don't really know fishes' names/types, but Salmah said so). According to Salmah, this fish is cheaper than Jenahak but have the almost same taste. Thanks to her, i've added another info on marine life into my knowledge pot. haha. We also had squids (damn delicious) goreng tepung, buttered prawns, Lala (one type of kupang) goreng pedas, ikan pari bakar, and kerang bakar. These was served with rice and vege soup. Not to forget complimentary telur dadar by pakcik yang amek order special for adik salmah coz die buat muke kesian nak order telor dadar jugak..haha..

Layan gambar makanan dulu...

And us with happy but starving faces...

All of these, inclusive of drinks, cost us only RM131.70..murah kan?? sotong tu 5 ekor tau, prawn 15 ekor..besau2 pule tuh..haaaa..told you..the specialty of this place is its price and also their fast service..i am looking forward to come here again some other time...

We had our gossip session after finishing all the food. Had a great session gossiping while walking by the sea. Lepak tepi batu dan merenung bulan..Perh..those times with friends that should be cherished.

gossipping session and later we had our walk at nearby benteng..

Great food. Great place. Great friends. Great time. Well done guys!

Gold Coast ~ Part 3

Sorry guys..sekarang baru ade mase nak mengadap lappy, and reminisce all GC photos and continue my entry on this trip..

So, where were we? Yeah..15th October 2011, our 2nd day at GC but 3rd day of our trip..

Early in the morning, we went to police station, with the intention to make a police report on the loss of Liza's passport and purse. Despite of info we got from the police women from the previous night visit to the station, who told us to come back early in the morning to lodge a report if we cant get through to the Translink (the bus) Loss & Found line in the morning, we still failed to lodge any report as we had to wait till the Loss & Found to open on Monday. Yeah, we were devastated by the loss, as it taken some of our precious time, but it didn't stop us from having fun.

So, we decided to visit the nearest theme park, The Seaworld. Oh, before that, we did dropped by at Australia Fair Shopping Centre, with the intention to just look around but ended up spending some money on dresses and gifts. haha!

Seaworld of Gold Coast Australia is located at the Main Beach, which is about 4km from Southport, one of the main bus centre in town. It took us about 10mins bus ride. It was clear sunny day and we were served by the bright and nice beach view. We passed by the Southport Yatch Club which offered us superb and unforgettable view.

There were lots of things to see here. Dah nama pon Seaworld kan, tentulah this place exhibits various kind of marine life. We had the chance to have a closer look to these animals. It may sound lame, coz u'll say, so what? binatang je kot, not a big deal. But believe me, it was not lame at all. You'll be amazed by all the animals life here..all the animal which either live in the sea or by the sea. Animals that u impossibly found in Malaysia.

Not just that, you'll be amazed by how the park manage to keep these animal healthy and happily live in a contained exhibition glasses. How they successfully imitated the surroundings and climate that suits the animal's life very well. How they maintain the environment to keep these animal live healthily in one place. You'll may see in those pictures posted herein after, but it'll never challenged the real experience we had there.

Some of the exhibits...

The Penguins

above the sea..notice how they put snow in that glass and maintain the temperature to suit penguins life? kire penguins ni perasan dok kat kutub utara la..

ok..no bluffing on these pics.. all of the marine life are really lives in a super gigantic aquarium..u may wonder how they keep all the colourful coral reef alive..yeah, i think they pump in the salt water from the sea everyday and keeping the tank clean..

Furthermore, the place also offers events and shows. They also have amusement rides, trams circling the park, and cable car crossing the lake. We had the chance to watch few shows here like the jet-stunt show and the dolphin show. We were surprise that the show was never close to boredom at all. We enjoyed the show very much. 

The show...

Jet-stunt show

the stunt show..ko boleh buat ke camtu noxx? haha

The dolphin show

Super duper brilliant show..we were stunned by the bonding between human and dolphin.These dolphins are just 2 to 3 years old and yet they are surprisingly smart enough to interact with human beings. Great show dolphins!

Ok now lets look around the parks...

There are lot of other nicer view all round the park. We had so much fun out here.

Ok, the entrance fee..did i mentioned earlier that we pre-purchased our entrance tickets to theme park?  We've got pretty good bargain from this web. We bought 14days unlimited free entrance fee to three theme park which is Movie World, Seaworld and Wet & Wild with the price of AUD80 or around RM250 per person...

Enough about Seaworld..

That night we set our foot at Surfer's Paradise again and this time i had a real shopping at my favorite shop of all time..The Rock Shop..and yes..i am the collector of HRC t-shirt..call me insane what-so-ever, but i am passionate enough to spend big amount of money to just buy HRC merchandise..and this time i bought Surfer's Paradise beach covers and a limited edition pink (breast cancer event) body shirt..

I would buy HRC collections in every country/foreign cities i set foot in..so far (no intention of bragging here..just mere info's) i had one great jumper i love most bought in Paris, a body hug from amsterdam (can wear it only if i shed lotsa pound, but who cares! im a collector, anyway), and a t-shirt from beijing (bought by a friend, but i went to beijing once back in 2006).. i missed Bandung and Jakarta one coz i was not a HRC collector back then..so, anyone who's going there, can i order one? huhu..hope to collect more in the future..haha..

So, that is all for the day..i'll continue the journey in the next entry yaa..
