My Sg Petani Outing

About a week ago I had to attend a wedding in Sg Petani. The wedding reception start on Saturday 27/12/08 at 11.00am. So we start our journey from KL at 6.30am on Saturday. I brought along my D300 camera as well.

I maintained the speed between 140-160km/hr. The drive was smooth and very less traffic on Plus Highway.


At 7.00am we passed Tanjung Malim.....the road was foggy..good time to switch on the fog light.


And by 8.45am we are at Gua Semangul for our breakfast...total drive 1hour 15 min drive from KL. Another 30min drive.. we arrived Sg Petani...


After the wedding reception, then only we check in Swiss Inn Sg Petani at 4.00pm. I booked the Jr Suite for RM285.00 per night with 2 free breakfast. Its nearby Sg Petani town and also nearby Tesco,Giant and many shops as well.


Big swimming pool!

It has Jacuzzi!!
Got plenty TV channel!
Not bad facility!!
This is Village Mall...got Starbuck,KFC,Mac D,White Coffee, Pizza Hut inside.
We had evening tea at Kayu Restaurant...and my daughter ordered "roti tisu"...so big!!! but very nice.
We even drop in to this shop....came out empty handed...dont know what to buy..blurrr..too many thing to see.

So which way...!!!
This is the place we attended the wedding reception...photos of the event will be posted soon.

This is the amount of fuel left on the following day back to KL. Since Im not in a hurry..I just drive between 90-100km/hr till we reach Ipoh for out lunch.

Cuti-cuti and balik kampung !!!

We start off Raya balik kampung on 1/10/08 at 3.30pm from KL to Kuala Kangsar. I did not drive fast ..maintaining speed between 80-90km/hr. The road was not busy...






By 7.45pm we reached Kuala Kangsar. That is the my wife grandfather's home where all family members from wife side will gather every year.We clock a millage of 227.90km




Then on the 3/10/08, we decided to drive to Penang...the was clear!! but I maintain speed of between 80-90km/hr....no speeding!!



We stop by at Juru Auto city for lunch at Pizza Hut. My daughter of 1 year 8 month was very delighted with the spagetti meat ball.Click on the video below



We took the ferry instead of the bridge as the jetty is not far from Cititel Penang.







We check in Cititel Penang at about 2pm.We were greeted by this security lady...wow..she has that fierce look.



In the evening, we decided to take drive around Penang and same time looks out for Penang laksa,penang rojak and nasi kandar. We spotted this shop by the road near Batu Feringgi..selling Penang Laksa for RM2 per plate.....my god..its so nice. No wonder it attracted such a big crowd.

I had a good 3 plate of laksa...yummy!




On that night..we just walk to nearby nasi Kandar Shop...tasted ok.The road was slightly crowded with cars...so walking is the best solution.

So the next morning 4/10/08, we had buffet breakfast in Cititel and by 10.30am we check out from the hotel. Upon leaving Cititel..the millage clock by Hyundai x20..450.9km..still have 1/4 tank of petrol to go.



Bye bye Penang...jumpa lagi...



We were very lucky..upon arrival at the jetty..we drive straight into the ferry..we were the last car....save waiting time.



The road was ok...a slight increase in traffic but moving at ease. I still maintain my speed between 80-90km/hr.

Spotted this white Nissan Selphy...still can see some plastic covering the seat.The owner must be very happy driving his new car.

There were also minor accident and this cause slowdown on the highway.

We have to exit Tapah as the fuel neddle is almost reaching E.



I fill up at Shell Tapah. And total millage upon fill up at Tapah is 649.80km.
Fuel consumed 47L. This makes my Hyundai Elantra FC 1L= 13.48km or 7.4L= 100km.


We then stop by for lunch in Tapah...nice makan place...you may scoop as much as you want..so we end up paying RM38.00.

1. one big fresh water fish( sorry dont know its name but very nice)
2. one bowl of kerang
3. one bowl of prawn @ 10 piece
4. 4 glass ice serup
5. 2 piece chicken kurma



Finally we continue our journey and exit via Kepong to Sentul. There was heavy downpour..luckily no flash flood.


We finally reached home at 5.30pm...7 hour journey!!!
