Day 5- Through the Barricades

Was rudely awoken by my handphone. It was Joyce on the other end. She told me to prepare and come over. We were going to JB for lunch.

The name of the restaurant is Good Luck Restaurant. A name that immediately instills confidence in the patrons. The thing is they serve cheap and good seafood, especially lobsters. You can get it dirt cheap there(no pun intended).

But first (there is always a 'but')we detoured to Pelangi for breakfast. I have no idea why we have to go to Pelangi for breakfast when Penggerang is all the way on the other side of Johore.There are so many coffeshops to be found in JB and along the route to Penggerang serving good food. So after going to the various coffeshops there we settled on one where we had fried carrot cake and fried kway teow.Nothing like a cholesterol laden lunch in anticipation of an equally rich seafood lunch.

After lunch, we went to Makro and Giant near the Pasir Gudang Highway. Bought lotsa groceries. It started to rain whilst we were at Giant. So we went hunting for an umbrella and found none at the shops, by which time the rain had already started to subside.

I then made the long drive across to Penggerang for lunch. The drive took about 2 1/2 hours. We got there just before 4 where they were already getting ready to closed until 6 pm. They took our orders and served us our food and then closed the shop! Of course only after we had footed the bill.

After the late lunch we drove around the coastal area before heading back to JB. The coast was really nice at sundown and the villages were quaint for want of a better word. If they took the time to develop the place it could make for a good seaside resort. As it is it is a bit laid back and kampung-ish and transport is hell.

There was a slight jam at the causeway but surprisingly the Singapore side was rather smooth.

I drove to Causeway Point where we had desserts at the food court before heading to the McDonalds at B1 for fries.

Then drove home to Joyce's place. I parked at the void deck and help bring up the groceries and sat a bit before I was unceremoniously told to go home by my sweetheart with the promise that we would meet again the next day.
