the best Mee Jawa in Malaysia is in PD not JB

...do you know that the best Mee Jawa or also known as Mee Rebus that Malaysians usually realized to be in JB is not actually in JB...yes..it's in PD


the location??!! it is in a small 'warung' on the famous bypass road in PD. If you are from Corus Paradise, exit left...then you'll come across 2 traffic lights before you reach the main junction of the bypass road....move on straight, pass 'Mak Mah Nasi Ayam' on your left, and reach a traffic light junction...move straight after the traffic light, see a row of shop (rumah kedai) on your left...then a car wash on your left..the warung that I mentioned (Roslan Corner) is next to the car wash...

just a small warung that can house limited people at one time....a very friendly owner - Hj Roslan is a well known guy to most of the customers who regularly come to his warung (stall)...

here are some of the photo of the infamous Mee Jawa that I took recently..beware of the green chillis, they are extra hot!!! wanna try? have a go...but i've warned you buddy!!!

 
difficulty in finding the place...try calling the owner...don't be disappointed if he didn't answer cause he's busy with the customers :)

Aghh!!! This is a real CROC

I came across the news about the discovery of a huge crocodile (dead) - weighing about 1 tonne in Tanjung Agas, Port Dickson two days ago. Here's the link from the Kosmo newspaper on this shocking discovery :

Kosmo! Online - Negara

BUT, let me tell you that it is not a surprise that a crocodile or even crocodiles to be found within this area - Tanjung Agas.

Tanjung Agas is located at the far south of Port Dickson that adjoin to the state of Malacca - specifically Kuala Linggi. The crocodile that was found most probably (I'm 99.9% confidence) has came from the Linggi River (Sg Linggi). The poor croc might have lost her (or is it his??) ways in the river, which connected to the Straits of Malacca (Selat Melaka).

I'd chances before to take boat cruise along the Linggi River and could see many crocodiles laying on the river banks. One of my friend claimes that he saw a crocodile as big as a Kancil (the car - not the animal) while fishing in Linggi River. Another friend of mine claimed that there is a shaman in Linggi who can 'call' for crocodile to come if he wants to feed the crocodile.

The Linggi River is well known a long long time ago for it crocs. This river is connected to Timun River (Sungai Timun) in Rembau, which is popular for its fireflies.
Linggi River is also a popular spot for those who loves fishing.

So, the next time you want to go for river fishing, choose Linggi River, for its naturality and you might be lucky to see some crocs...but only if you dare to take a boat ride there...CRIKEY!!!

The Great Miles (Batu)

It is good to understand how the local mentioned or named some of the most well known locations in PD. What I meant is that the formal name of some area is hardly known compared to the 'informal' name of these spots.

One of the common terms to identify the places in PD is in terms of Batu or Miles. For example, a place located about five miles from the bordereline of PD will be known as Batu 5 (Batu Lima or 5th Mile). In PD, I think the most popular location are these places :

Batu 4 (Batu Empat or 4th Mile) 

- this is where the famous Saturday's night market takes place in PD. If you enter PD using the PLUS Highway and exit on the second exit (next after Lukut), you'll enter PD at this location. One of the popular apartments you can find here is the Bayu Beach Resort. You'll also find the Army Museum on your left towards reaching the T-Junction to enter PD.

Batu 8 (Batu Lapan or 8th Mile)

- this is where Telok Kemang is located. Telok Kemang is a popular family beaches recreation area, just like Teluk Chempedak in Kuantan, Pahang. Kemang Square (Dataran Kemang) is where most programmes, concerts, new year and Merdeka (Independence Day) countdown are held. If you are entering PD using the PLUS Highway and would like to go to Telok Kemang, just move straight until the end of the highway. You'll meet with a roundabout, take the first left turn at the roundabout and move about 2km and you'll see Dataran Kemang on your right.

Batu 1 (Batu Satu or 1st Mile)

- this is the location of PD town. a small town more than enough to accommodate the needs of the local, but you'll find it quite hectic with traffics during peak seasons. But sometimes, Batu 1 can also be referred to the location immediately after the Bypass Road (the road that you use to skip the PD town and move onwards to Batu 2 and so forth when you enter from Lukut town).

So, these are the three great miles in PD. Now, you need not too worry if you've lost your way in PD and if the locals tell you to go to 'Batu here or Batu there', you'll not be confused anymore, I hope.
