Port Dickson (6-10/7/2015)

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Port Dickson (6-10/7/2015)

Went to Port Dickson way back in 2013. Didn’t expect to go back there anytime soon. Didn’t stay a night there, it was just a pit stop and we went to the Royal Port Dickson Yacht Club for early dinner.

Few weeks back, was informed rather last minute on this trip. Oh well… For work purpose with a bunch of colleagues…


On Monday afternoon, we flew to KLIA2 and the hotel van came to pick us up. Grand Beach Resort Port Dickson (5th Mile, Jln Pantai, 71050 Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia) was our home for almost a week. Apparently, it’s not too far from Royal Port Dickson Yacht Club. Isn’t it fun to go to a beach resort and have your meeting there? Duh… It’s work dude?!?! Not holiday. Fun? What fun? Well… A little fun, yes… Lots of fun? No… *LOL*


Luckily… I was being assigned with my own room and I got a queen sized bed!! At least I don’t have to share a room and got all the privacy I needed. The hotel is more than 20 years old, they are still undergoing a series of refurbishments. It’s not easy to maintain such big property located at the beach. However, I’m sure it will be a good one once all renovations are done.


Every room has its own balcony. The view I got is exactly what you see in the photos. Was lucky that I managed to swim in the pool but didn’t get the time to play at the beach. At least I got to wear my swimsuit or else it will just stayed there in the luggage not getting worn hahaha…

Basically, in this post, I’m just sharing with you slightly about the hotel and will let the photos to the talking. Oh… Irene is getting lazy… The last post was more than a week ago! Busy busy busy…



First night, our dinner was the resort’s Ramadan Buffet. It’s dark, my camera isn’t very good in taking proper photos, it’s old and the focusing is a bit off too. Ah… When to get a new one? Don’t take much photos with camera these days, just with my phone, quality is rather hopeless too. Didn’t try much of the food, no appetite, wasn’t feeling very well too as I was still sick during the trip.


Left: Breakfast at the resort, these are just starter, I forgot to take photo of my main course hehehe…
Right: The view once I got out of my room.



These views are from the following rooms…

A collections of our breakfast and lunch for the 2nd and 3rd day.



That’s about it on the resort I stayed.

Next post will be a few-hours trip to Melaka and Putrajaya just to break fast with other Muslim colleagues.

That’s all for now… Finally a post after more a week!

Restoran He Ping

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Restoran He Ping

Just realized that today is the last day of February. Another long-time-ago post ;p It was last September trip.

Before heading back to the airport to go back to Kuching, we went to Broga for the famous grilled bamboo fish at Restoran He Ping (Lot4903a, Jalan Tanah Pinggir, 71750, Broga, N. Sembilan). We went there the day before but it was closed but lucky that we met the owner and asked him about the opening hour so that we can go back to eat the next day before heading back home.

I don’t have any idea of all the food pricing, it’s too long ago. However, it was reasonably priced. I wasn’t the one paying too. Anyway, the fish reminded me of ayam pansuh (chicken cooked in bamboo). We had to wait 45 minutes for the fish to cook hence you are required to wait if you want to eat this fish. We went there early, so not many people. You will have to wait quite long if there’s lots of diners.

Highly recommended. It’s fresh and there’s no fishy taste too. The aroma of the bamboo sure is giving the dish the special taste. I don’t know how to explain, you just have to try it for yourself.


Left: Ladies fingers with garlic.

Right: Herbal chicken.

Both the vegetable and the chicken were not cooked the normal way, they were cooked in aluminium foil on charcoal if not mistaken. No stir fried , no pots and pans. Very unique. In fact, you can opt for your fish to be cook this way too if you don’t want to wait, shorter time required.

That’s all for now. Hopefully I have something new to update soon. Goodness… So pathetic. Working full-time is really no fun… Sigh… Trying to love it. I’m feeling like as if I’ve not been sleeping for weeks -.-” Really got no mood for anything after work, just want to laze in front of the computer, watch drama series or just shut myself out from the outside world. Damn… Facing so many people everyday is a challenge for an introvert ;p Agree? Only the introverts will know how it feels.

Port Dickson (7/9/2013)

All right, I should get this post over with before starting with the last week road trip. Suddenly I’m a travel blogger, blogging all about my travels these few months. Aikss… Not fully recovered from the road trip yet, body still aching, a little bit of cough and blocked nose hahaha… Can only manage to do this light post before getting headache facing the computer or using my brain for too long.

So, after Melaka, we drove to Port Dickson. The stupid me thought that Port Dickson was below Melaka and didn’t inform my bro which exit to take when he was at the exit of the highway after the toll. He should be taking the KL exit not the JB exit. Actually, I have no idea why he took the Johor exit too when he knew that we should be going back to KL and he knew that Port Dickson was not down there but up there. He might be too overwhelmed that time. I have no sense of direction, seriously! We had the GPS with us but looking at it, it seemed like asking us to take that exit too. HO!HO!HO! There you go… We ended up had to go tru’ Johor’s border to turn back! Wasted time, money and fuel.


Dad’s friend was expecting us to meet him in Port Dickson but didn’t see us there in an hour. He got worried and called us to find that we took the wrong exit *LOL* Didn’t really get to spend much time there when we arrived as we wanted to get back to Semenyih before it got too dark. Finally when we arrived Port Dickson, we went straight to Royal Port Dickson Yacht Club (Batu 4 ½, Jalan Pantai, 71050 Sirusa, Port Dickson Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, 5, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia). It’s a private club, not open for public.


The beach.


Left: At the cafe waiting for our early dinner.
Right: Fresh fruit juice, 100% fresh fruit juice, no sugar added. Honeydew, starfruit, and pineapple.


Left: Fish and Chips (RM10), what to expect? Fish and chips it is.

Right: Mixed Girll (RM20), portion was huge! Taste wise, I was expecting better. All the meat was heavily marinated, couldn’t really taste the meat but just the marinates.


Left: Grilled Lamb (RM16), same thing, heavily marinated.

Right: The view of the beach at the club.


Before heading off, we dropped by another place, don’t remember the name, it’s a public beach just to look at the sunset. Very beautiful!

The September road trip ended here. A few more food posts from random places after this road trip before we flew back are still in the oven. Hope will get them out soon.
