Desaru Day Trip

Three weeks ago, we drove up to Desaru with the kids and some friends. To look for yummy LOBSTERS! It has been 12 years since I last went to Penggarang and the place looks like it hasn't changed! It was raining on the way there and we had to take the small roads so it took forever to reach the Desaru Fruit Farm - our first stop.

Not everyone was that interested in finding out about jambu, dragon fruit, bananas and pomelos - Renee complained about walking on the soggy ground, Russell wanted to be carried. The kids were more fascinated by the little farm, also inside the fruit farm, where the roosters and rabbits roamed free. There were also ostriches, turkeys, owls, a crocodile, goats and monkeys that were thankfully caged up!

Everyone was more looking forward to the lobsters! A short drive away, we finally reached our dinner destination!

Lobsters with superior broth and wolfberries!

Chicken with salad (cream)

Salted egg with crab

Curry paste lobsters

The extent of our feast - that's not counting the table to the left, more more more food!

The guys....waiting for their Ramli burgers.....yes, that's right, 8 plates of lobsters, 2 plates of crabs, 2 plates of fried rice is not enough, we just need to eat our Ramli before we head home....

Verdict: totally worth the leh-cheh car ride, will try to organise another trip up.
