Project Roadtrip: Malaysia - Chalet D'Punggai (Near to Desaru)
Friday, June 04, 2010 | 2:22 AM
On MC for the past two days, having fever and diarrhoea :( Hope I can recover soon.
Anyway, if you read my twitter you will know I was out of Singapore over the Vesak weekend for a roadtrip. We went to Malaysia and stayed at this chalet that look like erm, Costa Sands Resorts Hut over at Sentosa. The place is just by the sea and in my opinion looks like Changi Village. Haha. But it's cheap, cost like RM 180 for a night. That's like 77SGD for a night.
Nevertheless, its the company and the roadtrip experience we take home that is beyond the money matters. :)
Let's see what I remember from the trip, given my memory have been failing me lately. We kicked start the whole trip at 8am+ in the morning. Totally didn't expect the jam in Tuas checkpoint as the guys did a check on their iphone with some traffic watch gadget that sent promising traffic condition at Tuas. It's a mistake, as the promising traffic condition was before the singapore custom and once we went beyond the custom, the distance btw singapore and malaysia custom is a good 3hours wait.

No car?
Alot of cars!
Some self-entertainment in the car.
Even after we passed the M'sia custom, we have to drive another hour or so to reach to our lunch destination. It's located right next to the sea with very cheap seafood. For lunch we had prawn, kankong, lala, two crabs, gonggong and two rounds of drinks. Bill came up to RM 242 which is about 100SGD+ for six persons.
Lunch!
After lunch, was another 2-2.5hrs drive up to Desaru. Exact address of the chalet is Lot PTD 558, Tanjung Punggai 81930 Bandar Penawar JOHOR, if you are interested to know. :) The plus point of the chalet is their own private carpark where you can just park your vehicle right outside your hut.
Our stay
After all the exploring, we went out of the chalet and found this field of lalang, very pretty for photoshoot. With so many cam-whores around, of course they took the chance to take some pre-wedding shoots. Unfortunately, we didn't get a nice shot at all for ourselves but my bf did captured very nice photos of the other two couples.
This is what goes on behind the scene!
Then came dinner, which also was a big round of seafood. Overdozed with seafood for that weekend! Dinner was much more expensive, costing us RM400+, almost twice of what we had for dinner. And the bad thing about dinner is that each dishes is not even half the portion we get for lunch. But it's some famous restoran (malaysian style) that even our local Channel U tv went there before to film. We had ostrich meat, boneless chicken, cereal prawn, softshell crab, lala, six crayfishes and two rounds of drinks.
Supper was rounds of beer that I don't want to go into details.
Still sober
----------------------------------------
Day 2, woke up at around 10am (totally island life, so relax!) and off we went to explore Ostrich Farm around our area.
Just born, about 2 hours old, keep in a heater.
That was all about for the trip in Desaru, after lunch on Day 2, we just drove down to the shopping malls near to woodland custom. And ended the day with a smooth check-out at the woodland custom! Good weekend indeed. And it was only Saturday! Weekend should be always three days!
Team Roadtrip!
