#TravelogueMalaysia: A Day to explore heritage @ Johor Bahru (JB)

After morning 🔆🔅 breakfast 🍽☕️ from Amari Hotel JB 🧡🏢(Do stay tune for her next stay vacation 🛌🛀🏻🚿 blogging 👩🏻‍💻📝 ya), SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 & her writers gang 👫👭👬 have decided for a day to exploring the heritage of old town JB 🇲🇾

It was started with a morning 🔆🔅heritage walk 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️Yeah‼️

A mixed feeling 😃😌 while walking 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️down the memory lane of the old town here, why❓⁉️

Some of the old shops are really well maintained👍🏻, including still operating the businesses as inherited, while some actually have transformed to modern faces 🏢… Her personal thought 💭 , it would be good 👍🏻 if all old buildings are maintained as its origin as possible though☺️

However, she also well received ☺️ that town evolution is unavoidable too…Hmm…Happy 😃 that old town JB is still not too bad in its heritage maintenance thus far. Bravo‼️👍🏻👏🏻

So, she was impressed 🤩 with 1️⃣ of the old business which stay from the olden days till now😲

What❓⁉️

That’s amazing‼️😁

Yes, it’s Salahuddin Bakery 🥖🍞at Jalan Dhoby (A side joke 🤣 ~ SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 has made fun to 1️⃣ of her writers gang, Dboy Ahmad 🙋🏽‍♂️that the road name of him was wrongly❌spelled 🔡🔠😅😂 Ha…Ha…😆)

Highly👆🏻recommended‼️ A must visit as it’s like a live museum of an old halal bakery🥖🍞shop with traditional buns🥐, breads🥖🍞, cakes 🎂🍰etc.

Why as a live museum❓⁉️

Because it’s still in its origin bakery🥖🍞business inherited & continues with wood fired 🔥 bread oven😲✌🏻

Another dish that she loves 💗 from Johor Riau is the seafood otak-otak (another signature Johor dish) served here👆🏻👍🏻

Tanjung Piai 🌿 is the southern most point of Peninsular Malaysia 🇲🇾 & the southern most tip of Mainland Asia 🌎too with the borders of shorelines of Malaysia 🇲🇾 , Indonesia 🇮🇩 & Singapore 🇸🇬

Guess what❓⁉️

Tanjung Piai 🌿 as a coastal mangrove also being granted in Jan 2003 with the status🎖of an internationally important Ramsar Convention site👏🏻

It has high socio-economic value for fisheries 🐟🐟 especially mudskippers aka ikan belacak in Malaysia’s 🇲🇾national language😀

The national park officers 👩🏻‍💼👨🏻‍💼shared about the breeding story of mudskippers🐟. Apparently the male 🚹🐟 mudskippers need to build a mud house 🏠 (refer photo 📸 below) to attract the female 🚺🐟mudskippers. Ha…Ha…Interesting facts learnt😅😂🤣

#TravelogueMalaysia: A Stay Vacation @ Desaru Beach

SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 seldom ⬇️ travel to a beach 🏖🏝 / seaside 🌊…

Why❓⁉️

Reason being she just can’t ❌ swim🏊🏻‍♀️…Shy shy ☺️ to mention…Moreover, she also scard 😢 of having tanned skin colour 👩🏽 too. Ha…Ha…A typical “puteri lilin” aka scard 😢 of sunny 🌞 ☀️ day in Bahasa Melayu, Malaysia’s 🇲🇾 national language

Hmm…Her recent stay vacation 🛌🛀🏻🚿at Sand & Sandals Resort & Spa 🏢 (Sand & Sandals) at Desaru Beach 🏖🏝 has changed her mind‼️😃 She is now saying “I need  vitamin sea 🌊 ” 😁 lovely More & more ya 😉😎

How come❓⁉️

Sand & Sandals 🏢 is a spacious resort which owns a beautiful clean 2️⃣2️⃣km stretch of coastline🌊 She enjoyed her relaxing 😌 early morning 🌞☀️chill beach 🏖🏝 walking 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️while waiting for sunrise 🌅 from the South China Sea 🌊

Hey‼️ Why not a pre-wedding 💍🤵🏻👰🏻 shoot 📸📹🎥 here if you are currently planning for a venue❓⁉️

Hmm…She was satisfied 😊 though without ❌ a beautiful egg yolk sunrise 🌅 that morning 🌞☀️ due to a cloudy ⛅️ morning

It was monsoon 🌫🌊💨 season during visiting, so resort team 👩🏻‍💼👨🏻‍💼advised not ⛔️ to enjoy any sea sports/ beach water activities🏊🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♀️🏄🏻‍♂️

Oppsss…Feeling bored 😐😑 ❓⁉️

Of course not, the resort team 👩🏻‍💼👨🏻‍💼still providing a plenty of exciting recreational activities by the beach 🏖🏝 e.g. ATV 🚜 beach 🏖🏝 ride, team building games👫👭👬, beach 🏖🏝 volley 🏐 ball/ futsal ⚽️ etc.
