Port Dickson Trip 1-2 May 2011

It was a long Labour Day holiday weekend, Daddy and his colleague had planned earlier go to Port Dickson.

They had booked a single storey house homestay for a night some where near the beach area.

The children are so happy as this time we went together and both of them have so much fun in going for a holiday.

We took some time off early from work so that I can go to the grocery store and purchase everything that we are going to need on our trip to the Port Dickson.

There were so many things that I had brought for the day at beach, like snacks and refreshments and drinks.

On Sunday Morning, we had been waked up early and waited for Chieng and Zul came to our house.

We went to Port Dickson by car pooling with Chieng girl friend Huey Fang’s car. The car is quite spacious and it is just nice to fit our small family at the back.

I just packed a few clothing and more were both Issac and Annabelle’s stuffs.

In  the car, Huey Fang already gave treats to our little Issac and Annabelle some snacks so that both of them wouldn’t feel so restless in the car.

Soon, in the next hour, we were driving through the main road and we were on our way to Port Dickson, which is 2 hours away from where we live.

We reached at the home stay around 12.45pm, we put down the things then straight away went to the beach. The sea water was yellow and milky in colour.

There were a lot of people here and there on the beach as it is a public holiday and some more is a weekend.

Some were busy playing kites, freebies while a few kids were building sand castles just for fun. There were a lot of people already bathing in the sea water.

By the time, we walked to the beach, the children were already excited to go into the water and enjoy a fine sea bath. We rented a canopy for all of us.

I did not swim as I was sitting at the tent all day, till all of them came out from the sea was already everyone was getting hungry.

We went back to the homestay to take the clean bath and changed into our more comfortable clothing, we came out to the town again and look for our dinner.

It was quite a yummy dinner and with the weekend crowds in Port Dickson, we had to wait for almost 45 minutes for our dinner.

Everybody was like sleep early as exhausted and were under the sun for the whole afternoon.

We checked out quite early in the morning and we went to the town for our breakfast. The famous coffee shop in the town of Port Dickson – Kedai Kopi Pak Lang.

From the outside or exterior look one would think that it is a Chinese Coffee Shop, therefore not halal. Don’t be mislead by the sign board. All the food here is Halal, the restaurant is run by Aunty Ain – a Chinese Muslim.

For breakfast they have the normal nasi lemak bungkus on the table, roti bakar, boiled eggs. They even have western dishes like French toast.

But the nasi lemak bungkus at the table caught our attention. The rice was nice and I like the the sambal too.

We did ordered the roti bakar which was the best. Nicely brown with a thick slab of butter and kaya. We had nasi lemak bungkus, sirap, coffee, roti bakar, noodle soup, porridge, nasi lemak rendang ayam, omelets, laksa, mee rojak and others as well.

I am quite like the place here. After the breakfast, we went back to our home separately. On the way back, we did stop by the roadside fruit stall and bought some dragon fruits.

Well, a weekend getaway just nice for the family.
