Ah Pek Restaurant, Setiawan

This would be my final post on Setiawan since after that, my battery camera ran out and we did not bring the charger. Sob! Sob....! So anyway with all the yummy food there, this is the only one that I can show you.

I browse through many blogs and found 2 seafood shops which were quite popular. One is Ah Pek in Kampung Cina and this shop was visited by Axion before. Hence at the entrance of the shop there is a recording playing over and over again showing that particular episode! Talk about over-selling!

Food-wise, it is not too bad. However since there were only 2 of us, we could not order the big stuff like crab. It is funny that about 8 years ago when I came to Setiawan, we could order free noddles with crab. We went to 3 seafood restaurant and they refuse to fry the crab with our mee! What a disappointment!
We order vegetables and instead the person taking the order recommend us this instead. And we were like...where is the vegetables??! How can this be replaced with a vegetable dish when it is plainly more of a mee dish?? I was getting a bit worry about not getting enough fibre.

This is one of the dish which the shop is popular for...Fried Ikan Busu. Not too bad...but you know what? We can also buy the same thing from the wet markets at PJ Old Town or Section 17 and just fry it at home?! I dont know why bloggers were recommending this.

But THIS! This definately we cannot get from any wet market...Oysters...HUGE!!! And for Rm5 a pop! It is really worth every RM...I have never ate oysters so big. It was just steam with garlic but so yummy!

There was a lady selling mee which she said is special from Setiawan. And I am happy to say that this is mee is really good! :)

Crabtree and Evelyn Hand Theraphy

This is my Christmas present for a friend. ....and I love it! It is a sample from the types of hand theraphy that is available in Crabtree. I have always love Crabtree especially their hand theraphy because it is so moisturising and yet not oily. It absorbs well and really good with rough hands from mine due to washing. I am just lazy to put on those rubber gloves. Crabtree is having a very good sale now for Christmas and if you are a Citibank card holder, it is 15% discount. As you can see one of the tubes is pretty squeeze out....so I am thinking of replenishing that one soon. :)...

Segari Turtle Conservation

If you go to Lumut, you can visit this Turtle Conservation place which is nearby to Swiss Garden Resort.

Many turtles...actually I am not sure what is the meaning of conservation as all the turtles seemed to be trapped inside this place....I actually thought they will let it go to the sea...? But I guess if you let it go to the sea, it will become food to some of the bigger animals.

I took a photo of this ...because it looks like the turtle is saying..Look Ma...no legs and no hands....no head either but I am just floating here....yes, it is still alive.

Ben and hub checking out one of the ponds.

...I think they are missing out a letter "r"...

...many variety of turtles...

Mama turtle

Medium size turtles...

..and tinny turtles...

Swiss Garden Resort Lumut

At last, we are reaching the hotel in Lumut already.

...look at his cheeky face....I did not take much photos of the hotel as when we arrive, I was quite tired. We arrive at 4pm...and it was just right as the room was ready for us. Husband's collegue had to wait for 2 hours since she arrive at 2pm. The hotel was quite pack and we had problems to look for car park even. That night, we just had an early sleep and Ben konked out even earlier...which meant that the next morning, he woke up early as well...6am....we went out but it was still pretty dark.

This is the view of the beach.......early early in the morning.

Husband playing with the bubble gun....and Ben trying hard to catch the biggest bubble...

...then Ben trying out the sand on the beach.

...as you can see...the sun is rising in the horizon.

There was a tram outside the hotel....

...and the hotel has a golf course as well...with beautiful scenaries.

...sorry, cannot rotate the photo.

It is a nice place...the only complain I had was the flies...there were flies everywhere...and I really mean EVERYWHERE...! It is just not the hotel but also the town as well - Setiawan. Not too sure why. And another thing about this hotel is that it is quite a distance from the town so if you want to get yummy seafood, be prepare to drive out. Setiawan do have a lot of interesting food.

Telun Intan - Food

It seemed that this place is popular for its Heong Peah and the most famous brand is the Tiger Head brand. I got this off a blogger and tried to follow the directions. Instead it took me to some housing area...then husband used his GPS and found that the directions were correct. Why is it in a housing area? Because they have converted the house into a mini-factory to manufacture the biscuits! To our surpise, nearby there was a competitor...just a few houses way...and we bought a packet as well. Price is a big difference also..Almost RM1.

After getting biscuits...it was for Rojak Ah Chai...my husband tah pau and he said the number of people waiting for the rojak was impressive! This one you will really need a GPS as it is off the main road of the town. It was not too bad....but I guess there are some nice ones in PJ as well.

Teluk Intan

Since we had to pass by Teluk Intan to Lumut, here we are....taking pictures of the Leaning Tower of Telun Intan. I think we still do have a lot of places to visit in Malaysia. :) Cheeky boy.....

.....with Mummy...phew, the sun was getting into my eyes.

We did climb up the Tower.....and this is the view from the top.

Inside view......

...another view...I do think that Teluk Intan is a nice place to visit. It is not too quiet...it is bustling with activities...

View of the top......

..and view at the bottom.

Bidor - Pun Chun Makan Shop

What is a trip without the makan right? So here at Bidor is Pun Chun shop. I tried to look for alternative but nope, this is the BEST! It is along the main road, you cannot miss it. With lots of fruit shops at the side selling guava, pomelo, petai.

Ben excited with his peanut biscuit. Not cheap...only 10 pieces for RM5.

The infamous duck noodles...not cheap...at RM6.80. Of course, it came along with a duck drumstick. And the soup is very nice and sweet though a tad oily.

Husband said the duck soup was too oily for his taste. So he order a char siew wan tan noodles.
