Our First Dinner At San Low, Johor

ARRIVED SAFELY IN JOHOR... It was nearly 6pm when we reached the doorstep.  Good to be back in our little nest again even only for a few days.  My son did some slight renovation, giving it a new facelift in some areas. 

Leaving our bags in our rooms, my son took us for dinner. Took us to a place I have never been before and we ordered a few dishes.  Actually the three of us were still full from our Malacca lunch and I ate just a bit of that... just for taste.  Maybe I was also tired after the long hours of driving, though I did not really drive.  Sometimes just sitting as a passenger can be exhausting too, right?  LOL... 

This is the place San Low... 
Smack meehoon.... as commonly known in Johor... 
My blurry Wat Tan Hor...
Forgot the name of this dish.... 
Otak-Otak... 
Oh yeah... a dish of fried mini squids...
Lastly, the desserts... Or Nee...
Yam paste with pumpkin and gingko.. 
Taste good but a bit too oily for me...
Normally in other places, the oil is not so obviously seen... 
Bill for the whole meal came to around RM97.50...

    Sitting as a passenger is also very tiring because have to keep the driver awake no matter how tired or sleepy throughout the journey.

    How many people eating all these dishes? A lot of dishes! Smack meehoon is called that way in cantonese, right?

    I ate this smack meehoon before and I forgot where in JB or Singapore. Nice!
    Hey I remembered that I heard this for the first time when you blogged about it few years ago. Correct?

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
