Our day trip to Batu Pahat was an excellent one. Dick was the driver and we got into JB by 10am to have breakfast at a noodles stall.

After satisfying our hungry stomachs, we headed on an hour or so journey along the North-South Highway to Air Hitam. Had toilet break there and Richard bought a big earthen pot for either his plants, fish or to be kept under his bed and used as pee pot.

If you are in for spicy food in Batu Pahat, there's a malay briyani place we can recommend. It's called Mohd Shah Baryani. Travelling along Jalan Kluang and before reaching the town, you will see a huge blue & white mosque with two tall steeples from a distance. Turn right immediately after the mosque and proceed on to cross the Sungei Batu Pahat bridge. You will see a signboard on your right. "Selamat Datang Kompleks Niaga Benteng Peserai". On the opposite side is the Putra Specialist Hospital. Try the briyani and be your own judge. I tah pau two packets home.

We were glad that our stomachs were happy. Drove down to town for chendol desert at Jalan Engan and strolled to digest our food making room for more.

Drove to Bukit Banang Golf & Country Club before heading back to Batu Pahat Mall to cool down and have our coffee break at Old Town Coffee. We wanted an early dinner of the town's famous Asam Pedas but to our disappointment, could not find any that's open. So we decided to make our way to JB for Ah Koong Restaurant at Taman Sentosa. It rained heavily along the highway and visibility was poor. The drive was slow and seemed eternity but thanks to the company.

Back in Singapore at 10pm without any hindrance at causeway and customs.
