One Corner of the World

Need to get away,... or need a hideout ? Follow this coordinate 3°54'18.6"N 100°42'27.4"E

It will lead you to a place where no one will be able to find you !

Look at that,...not a single soul !

...not even a single creature on the road !

Until you reach...one corner of the world. Check out this place...Restaurant Tuck Tuck Sungai Tiang, Perak. Located in a fisherman village, what's cooking ?...anything catch of the day ! You will see some fishermen come with a bike carrying a pail with 2 or 3 fishs, or even prawn mantis. Fresh from the sea !

Fresh from the sea...best cooking method...just boil it !

Miniature squid. These are the things that we seldom find now a days. Full grown squid with eggs in it...just size of a Tiger bottle cap.

A foot long Prawn Mantis !

Claypot Catfish with Spicy Tamarind Sauce.

Just behind the restaurant, you can buy fresh and inexpensive seafood.

XXL Fresh Prawn only less than RM 40 per kg.

Sighted team bsg.

The restaurant is just a small place for the locals to gather around...enjoy the sea breeze and chill out with a couple of "Tiger"

It's a place to get away from the city life, do nothing....drink and eat what they have !

Simply no expectation....and RELAX !

Andechs Monastery

My German friends took us to see German Monastery. Drove one hour from Munich approximately 30km to down south west . Introduced to us the place as...Andechs Monastery.

The place was crowded with people chilling out, enjoying the cool breeze and the nice weather....

Hmm...looks like a restaurant to me !!??

The next thing he took me to this place !??

Holy place !...I am in heaven !

They serve beer in the monastery !...and great food.

...and The Pork Knuckle was prefecto !

I couldn't believe they have such a place in the Monastery,...the beer was so pure and the food was even better than some of the restaurants that I had.

Two liters already...and still going ! Seems like our drinking competition is still on !

No kick !!?? Add this !

This was how we looked like after going against the law of drinking beer,...never mix what was supposely to be and prefected by the lord of brewery....or else you will end up like this...

Cheers !
