Lobsters @ Pengerrang, Malaysia (steakii adventure)

Actually papa and mama already wanna go this Pengerrang for seafoodie as discussed earlier in the week. But that princess never confrim not going until 3+pm. After that they got me ready and wanted to go , so shunbian ask Grandpa. At first he say dowan...after 5 mins he change his mind. Like grandpa like mama!

Papa had checked the camera before leaving cupborad. No traffic at Woodlands checkpoint. Tis time i din hide even if i had no passport, coz they not looking for a cow. They looking for the terrorist who will kill them!

Uneventful journey into Johor Bahru

,This cupbarn looks quite big and nice right? Onwards is sorta like developing malls, food centres etc...called Danga Bay. However...this is the WRONG way! Papa got lost the first time....straight after entering JB, so we U turn back.

Aafter papa took the flyover instead of the normal roads and therefore unable to turn at the correct place. Papa lost 2nd time! This photo was taken after we U-turn back and at the correct junction to turn.

Traffic was quite heavy in the JB towns

The skies were preeety.

Single -lane road on both sides. If there was a slow moving car in the lane, it will hold up the whole traffic behind it until the cars behind it overtake one by one. However, it is quite dangerous acoording to papa, to overtake coz there will be cars heading towards u on the other side and sometimes u cant see becoz of the hills and valleys and the turns on this kinda road. I saw some chiongsters just vroom vroom and overtake like one whole stretch of cars.
There was one case of a SHELL tanker crawling at ~70 holding up the whole line of cars behind it. Another was a police car and we were debating if we should overtake as it was varying between 70-90km/h. We scared that the police will ask for peanuts for speeding! We let one other SG car try first before we did it too. Papa likes to drive 120 on those roads when he can.

The single-lane road actually entertained the bored mama. She would look and look and give comments like "cut him cut him!" or else she will count the cars in front and behind, and track the positions of the cars naming them by their no. plates eg. JED

More photos of the nice grasslands beside the roads. The roads were bumpy though...I bounced up and down the moo moo.

Before we get to the restaurant, papa was lost the 3rd time. The 3rd time is the most funny. We turned moo moo into Desaru at the spoilt traffic light jucntion (1st time) , after travelling a while, papa think not quite correct so he wanted to U-turn. He went to one side of the 2-lane road and swang a wide turnaround, but he forgot Grandpa at the back never put on seat belt and swung Grandpa from one side to the other!! I donno how many choppers he get after that!!

After that we got back to the spoilt traffic light junction (2nd time) to continue on str where we left off. After a while papa think the Desaru road is correct, so once again, we went back to that route again after U-turning and passing thru the traffic light junction (3rd time)!

At the restaurant, waiting for foodie. Seems like whole restaurant full of Singaporeans. I saw some Ang Mohs too...probably from Desaru.

The foodie vegiies and fried tofu came pretty fast. The veggie was simply done with just garlic and ginger(?) but taste was there. The fried tofu mama felt that cameron one is better.

Some assholes at the next table, party of about 8 of them, came before us and held up the whole queue for the seafood. We finished our first 2 dishy and had to wait quite long for the next 2. The gluttons mama papa and grandpa ate up the butter lobster before taking the photo! AT RM78 for 4, should be considered a steal. However, the ever hiammie mama felt that the butter taste in the lobster is not really there, even though the crust had the buttery taste.

Lucky papa clever and ordered the chili crab, coz after grandpa went to the toilet and back first thing he asked was "got order crabbie a not?". SAuce was a bit too sweet (yeah courtesy of the hiammie mama), but otherwise fine.

Not wanting to waste the chili crab sauce, they each had a mantou. YEah as usual they forgot about steakii and only ordered 3!

The gluttons finish up the foodie quite fast! And then papa & mama had a c-o-c-o-n-u-t.

The journey home was less of a hassle compared to gg there. Less slow moving cars and as usual dark dark roads. There were a total of 4 dead dogs on the middle of the roads to and fro this journey. Poor doggies. Mama hug me tite tite and told me not to anyhow bounce across roads!

Papa wanted to explore Desaru on the way back but Grandpa say dowan coz its late at night. So he and mama agreed next time to go again. I wonder if i can find turtles there.

And then it happened. We were following the signs to "woodlands" and going on fine until there was a block by the traffic police to not let us into the road that is going woodlands. We followed a SG car infront to go by an alternative way.

Grandpa kept saying to go by 2nd link, by pointing at the signs. But papa was afraid of getting lost, as that same signs also point to KL. In the end we had to stop at the malaysian juice station to ask for directions. In the end we managed to find our way back to the alternative road thru...DANGA BAY! Heee, the place we got lost earlier.

When we finally got there......
We were stuck in the jam from 1030 pm all the way to 1am before we reached the JB customs. I didn't know they were also searching for the terrorist.

Papa was looking at a crazy guy drive so aggresively - a red plate chevrolet avon. He go so close so close to the car in front until his car touch the ass of the other car. And everytime he thinks the next line moves faster he will put his one wheel in and cut in.

Grandpa kept saying that malaysia cannot come one, will always jam, which made mama a bit irritated because just earlier he said friday nite no jam. "Everything also he say " she complained to papa later.

So steakii has now been to Kukup (click here for prev entry), and now Pengerrang! Overall mama think that Kukup has nicer foodie, cheaper and less time to drive there. However papa say Kukup has no lobsters!
