Crab Island

This was an unplanned outing

Out of the blue Huei has this craving for crab and within 20mins we are already on our way to Pulau Ketam. It was a hot Saturday and as we walked to the port I snapped this, railway track. In the 80s, when I used to follow my dad around doing his routines sales, we always stopped our car to give way to the trains. These days, we hardly do so as trains has their own track (mostly over the bridge) and so does motorway for the cars.

As we walking to the ferry we saw these sampan. Huei is telling me he wish to carter these boat to go fishing one of these days..& pretended not heard that I head straight to the ferry. You see I have serious seasick and there is no way I would follow him to goes on the sampan.

The journey took about 30-40mins. After a short walking in Pulau Ketam, we sat our bum for resting and proceed with our second mission, answering our tummy's loud call.

Our first dish Teo Chew Steam Promfet. 

Fried bee hon with crab. We ordered 2 sea water crab and it weighted almost 1kg of each.

Fish ball soup

See I am not lying about the crab size, is really huge!! Each of them weighted at least 1 kg!!

The ferry that fetching us back to Port Klang.

Nippon Tei

Upon hearing from colleagues that Baskin Robbin would be giving out free ice cream I ask Huei this..

Me: Baskin giving out free ice cream tonight from 8-10pm.
Huei: Really? Let's go and get our share!!
Me: You sure? Its going to be super looong q..
Huei: Free ma..must go!!

With this, we dazed to Alamanda and reached there by 8pm. As we run ourselves to the second floor we came to huge dissapointment upon seeing the queue...so long all the way until Carrefour entrance (between 300 to 500m) in distance.

We decided to go for dinner and check back the queue later.

Fresh salmon sashimi

Fried salmon skin salad

Potato salad with roe

Tuna maki

Fried octopus

And the main course..Beef Sukiyaki

It was indeed a super yummy dinner..
All of the above is RM58++  under their Ramadhan promo

We went back to Baskin Robbin but the queue grew even longer and eventually we give up  :|||

Ba Na Temple

It is second day of the week Tuesday..
after the blue blue Monday

Remember I said in Danang to go from one place to another required a lot of walking?
Today we are visiting Ba Na Hill's temple

It was 9am in the morning, and we were asked to walked for 20 mins to our destination. It was uphill road and for a lazy person who hardly exercise, this is extremely tiring for me.

We come for this temple Chua Linh Ung Ba Na, in the middle of Ba Na Hill.

A mountain of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha Statue in the garden of the temple.

A giant Siddhartha Gautama Buddha Statue overseeing Ba Na Hill.
Yes, almost every corner of Danang is temple with Buddha statue

The other attraction of Ba Na Hill is the the World Longest Cable Car. This is really long..it took almost 30mins to reach the top. I will share more in my next post.

Happy working!!

The light city

By evening all latern in Hoi Ann is lighten up along the main street.

Women and children were selling the make-a-wish latern along the river. Make a wish before releasing your latern to the river.

All lighten up as we walked past the bridge.

Hoi Ann in light box :p

side note

I think LCW played very well in the game last night.

Happy Monday folks!

Hoi Ann

Do you know Hoi Ann is one of World Heritage site by UNESCO?

Located about 35mins drive from Danang, Hoi Ann is an old township with its own uniqueness.

Bicyles and motorcycles were only transportation allowed in Hoi Ann. 

In fact people only allowed to cycle to Hoi Ann after 6pm, prior to that no transportation is allow.

Hoi Ann is famous with  Museum namely

1) Museum of Folk Culture

2) Museum of Trade Ceramics

3) Hoi An Museum of History and Culture
4)Museum of Say Huynh Culture

We did not visit any of these Museum simply because we arrived late in the afternoon. Having said so, there is just too much to see by loitering around..

One of the Museum in Hoi Ann

The entrance to Ancient City, by evening the river is surrounded by paper latern.

Twin ship??

By evening, the locals lepak along the side walk with their families.

This does remind me of Melaka's Jonker Street

One of the hotels in Hoi Ann central

Hungry? Hawkers selling food up to your footsteep!

Or you can join the local eating by the side of the road with the cute red plastic chair
