I had been wanting to go Kukup for a long time after seeing some of my FB friends photos... many were photos of fun with family members especially with extended family or with a few close family friends! Mainly, photos of food prepared by the host and time for mahjong and karaoke sessions and foot massage at night followed by fire works on roof tops!!!
And this year, we finally had the chance to make the trip happened!!! Taking the chance to celebrate my mum's 60th birthday with a short 2D/1N trip!!!
Our transport was here to pick us up at about 630am... driving us into JB thru Woodlands causeway... lucky no jam and we were able to reached JB for breakfast at own expense at a local coffee shop! And along the way thought we can buy some durians to feast in kukup... but the so-called durian plantation was not impressive and the price quoted was not much cheaper... thus we decided to head straight to kukup!
Upon arrival, it was about 11am and we were brought into our ' resort ' by the host! I must say, the resort was not fantastic, just the basic necessity and tidy.. not something very nice as I had seen on some online photos... thus we took some rest before heading out for our seafood lunch at 12+.
The restaurant we went was the only air con big restaurant in the small kukup village. Food was more than enough for all of us...
After our lunch, we walked around the village doing some mini shopping at the row of non air con shop houses! And my dad managed to buy some local durians here. We managed to laze around the resort eating durians and some mahjong sessions... At about 3+, the host informed us that the tea break is ready! And we were so surprised to see a table of fried bee hoon, chicken curry, fried prawn crackers and green bean soup with sweet potato and tapioca! All were soo yummy!!!
At about 5pm, we proceed with a short boat ride at the fish village going onto a kelong....
We were able to see some nice houses along the coasts and many kelongs too!
View was simple and nice... especially when we are seeing this in Malaysia...
Shot of my baby having superb fun on the double decker bunk bed with his cousins!
We were served BBQ dinner at abt 7pm by the host... sorry forgot to take some shots here... but it was really lotsa food!!! And had our cake cutting done but no more stomach to down the cake! Hahaa... But we were so busy after dinner as we need to go to the rooftop for fireworks and 天灯! After which, foot massages had been arranged in the house!!! And at about 10pm, supper was served!! We asked for simple barley with beancurd dessert! But was not able to finish all too!! Hahaha...
The next morning, breakfast was ready by 730am or 8am, but we were to tired thus did not wake up even when the host came in and wake us up! But we were told that we need to leave by 10am to go to Pontian town for our arranged lunch!!
After lunch , we headed back to Singapore!!! So see, our trip was mainly eat and eat for a full day!!! Hahahaa...
