A trip to Kukup

I was just spinning my car hoping to reach a humble 20K within 1 year, still a shy of 1K away now. I dediced to bring my family for a spin to Muar. Cus it is much further away from Singapore and I could make most milage too.

We started journey through Tuas (2nd link), hoping to chalk up more mileage in Singapore. Tuning into local radio, told us that our decision was right. It was about 4pm on a Saturday. The news confirmed that the traffic was heavy in causeway. Cool, lucky for us.

As we breeze through the 2nd link, my son was complaining hungry. Our dear, didn't have a heavy lunch. I search through my Garmin POI, tells me that there is a yummy roti canai in Gelang Patah. I didn't pay much attention to the POI and thought it might be need the exit from 2nd link. Drove past Msia custom, and followed the GPS to the roti canai stall. The GPS kept on directing into smaller inner road passing through Gelang Patah on route to Tanjung Pelepas. Somewhere detour into a local remote village. Gosh, still not there yet. Finally after another 10-15km, found that place, it was closed. Yes, it's afternoon, roti canai in local village is meant for morning breakfast. Good. Drove another 5min, found a mini stall selling groceries, got a bread for him. Oh dear..He must be hungry.

Looking at the destination arrival time to Muar, it showed 7pm compare to 6:30pm earlier. Shall we go? Yes that was the answer. Our clocks shows 5pm. As we breeze past through some trunk roads, found the "'Leisure Farm Resort". There's some publicity and advertisement about this rich area. Many foreigner and Singaporeans have settled there. I decided to drive in and was stopped at the guard house. We manage to have a quick glimpse of the bungalows before making our exit.

Time is getting late. We decided to carry on and the sign board shows our way to Pontian. Well might as well go there as it is a shorter time. Now my turn to get thristy, hungry and need to go to loo. Manage to drive another 30mins before arriving Pekan Nanas, a town that was once famous with a great export of pineapples. Didn't know what to eat there and found the KFC. We have our dinner. Ordered 2 dinner plate plus 2 extra chickens. Yummy Malaysia always serve the best KFC chicken. Never disappoint us.

Time already 7pm. Continue our journey. The GPS is unable to route my route to Kukup or homestay Piai which we found out from one of the signboard.

Never mind just carry on and rely on the local sign board. Manage to pass through Pontian Kechil. And then way on to Kukup. We came to a junction. The police station is a local landmark. On the left turn into Homestay Piai and straight to Kukup.

Well, let's turned into Tanjung Piai (It's the soutern tip most of Asean mainland).

Time is darked. Manoveour our way and manage to find it though our Garmin GPS is unable to route. Lucky us.

We route back our way and went into Kukup town. Here there were ample seafood restaurant that really worth exploring the next time.

We got hold of some fireworks display and enjoyed.
