Month: April 2009

This is the last part of my Sematan trip. Actually this part is more about Lundu.

We went to lunch at the market at Lundu. The upstair is the eating place. Think of it as the mini Petanak market will do ;p

We had ours at Sing Hiang Hing Foodshop. Only planned to have simple and quick lunch. The lunch was really quick! It came out so fast. ;p We ordered food for 3 but with 4 plates of plain rice. The plain rice was quite a lot.

Here you see a plate of meat(pork, chicken and egg) for 3 people. Portion looked pretty small but it’s enough for us as earlier on my mom and dad ate a lot at the resort.

Ordered a bowl of vegetables soup for 3 people but the soup came with pork meatballs, prawns and livers in it.

The plate of prawn is RM18 for 3 people consumption. It’s called Salt Prawn(hehehe… not sure of the name in English ;p simply translate). It’s really tasty, love it! The prawn is fresh, tender and juicy. Not overcooked. The size is big enough too. Later we found out from my aunt that this dish is the shop’s specialty.

The total spent was RM32(exclude drinks) if I’m not mistaken.

After our lunch, we went to our aunt’s house before heading back to Kuching at around 3pm.

Before leaving Lundu, stopping here is a must! *LOL* It’s just under the bridge. Business was so good when the ferry was still in operation as people would go down to buy some snacks while waiting for ferry to arrive. As usual, the tapioca snack is something I will surely buy.

So that’s all about my short trip.

After taking the sunset photos, finally it’s 6.30pm, time for dinner!

As you can see, these are the prices. I would say it’s not worth it for these prices. Since it’s included in the room rate, so you don’t need to care so much. If just paying for the food only then it’s really not worth it. I rather go to have lunch buffet at Four Points.

Rice, curry lamb, and fried fish.

Buttered chicken, brinjal with sambal, mixed vegetables, and spaghetti.

I only like the buttered chicken and spaghetti. The rest was just so-so.

Desserts and salad corner.

You can also make you own ais kacang and rojak.

Luckily we went there early, later towards the evening, more and more people coming. Full house! I ate so much, was so full! After that, we went back to our room to watch TV, nothing else to do.

It happened that it was Earth Hour that night, we were thinking whether should we switched off the lights or not but we didn’t ;p Took a peek outside, the lights surrounding the resort were switched off but it seemed like most of the rooms didn’t bother to off their lights.

Anyway, couldn’t sleep well that night. People were partying out there at the BBQ pits which was so near to our room. GOSH! These people sang like there’s no tomorrow, so damn noisy and loud! They practically shouted from on top of their lungs. I won’t mind if they do it before 12am but it started at 11pm and only ended until around 2am! Such inconsiderate brats!

The management should advise them to stop but there was no action taken at all. It’s common sense what?!?! The funny thing was that the resort was full that night and no one complaint. I tried to call to complain but all I got from the phone call was the number that I had dialed wasn’t in service *SWEAT*

Anyway, my dad woke up at around 6.30am and he went to the beach for the sunrise. Later my bro went at almost 7am. I was still sleeping. Actually I didn’t really sleep but just didn’t want to get up. I missed the sunrise!

Good thing my bro took photos of it using his phone. If he took my camera with him it would be nicer. Here you go… The sunrise.

My parents went for the breakfast buffet and when they’re back, my dad also said that it’s not worth the price if you are just going to pay for the food. Breakfast started at 7am.

Sematan doesn’t have nice sunset but the sunrise is really spectacular!

I only went out of the room at around 9.30am. Sat at there stared blankly to the sea again. Really can’t think at all. I sat there alone doing nothing for almost 2 hours!

We checked out at 11.30am and headed to Lundu for lunch and paid a visit to my aunt’s house.

To be continued…
