About a hour and quarter drive from Singapore is the coastal village Kukup in Malaysia. This would be our 2nd trip there in recent years (July 2007) but this time would be shorter since we were just planning on good food and some fireworks fun. Getting to Kukup is pretty easy since there is only one direct route via Tuas second link and then heading up to Pontian Kechil and then back south to Kukup. You can’t miss the signs on the way. We also passed by Gelang Patah where we had dined at “Restoran Tian Lai” on July 19th.

After setting off at, we hit immigration at around 5.15pm and both cars set off towards the village. The ride was uneventful via the rather well maintained country roads (mostly single lane) and we reached our destination at around 6.30pm. Parking (I think it was RM $4) is very convenient with a small bus that will take you to the village centre (5-10 min walk).

Drive up to Kukup, Malaysia by you.

Huge plate of bee hoon.. Very nice! Hei zou

Fish stew.. need to try it to know how good it is by you.

Salted egg crayfish.. unfortunately no crab!Sambal crayfish.. not spicy but more sweet

Ig recommended Ah Keong’s food as he had been here recently and we settled in to order a sumptious meal of fried bee hoon, stewed fish and crayfish. Crabs was unfortunately not available but the last dish of steamed prawns more than made up for it. Total bill was approx RM $225 which was pretty decent.

Not much and quite ex? by you.

The other aim of the trip was to set off some fireworks. After some negotiation, we trooped off to find a corner to set off some explosive fun. Video below shows the highlights after some minor technical difficulties getting a good sequence (most of us were noobs at this).
