Kukup Ayer Masin Holiday Resort 海上冷气度假屋 (龟咯咸水港)

Where to stay in Kukup?

I was privileged to visit Kukup Ayer Masin Holiday Resort on a weekend and took some photos to share. The resort is very spacious and consists of a combination of 4 stilt houses and a multi-purpose hall. Each stilt house could accommodate about 10 to 20+ persons. It will be a good choice for organising team bonding activities at this resort as it could accommodate about 100 persons.

There is also a big space in front of the houses where we park our bikes.

During sunset, the view at the resort is beautiful.

Once you reached Kukup and usually after lunch, the resort will arrange for the ferry to transport you to the accommodation. Alternatively, you could also take a stroll there.

Each stilt house contains at least 3 bedrooms and what I do like about the room is that they each comes with the bathroom en suite.

During the stay at the resort, have some mahjong sessions.

An open concept KTV room!

Even the kitchen is spacious too.

You could also enjoy fishing at the resort.

When the night comes, enjoy the fireworks or light up the Kong Ming lanterns.

Time to pamper yourself!

Inform the person-in-charge that you are interested in the body massage or foot reflexology.

(Fees are paid separately.)

Manicure and Pedicure are also available at the resort, just inform the person-in-charge that you are interested in these services. (Fees are paid separately.)

Keen to order the Crystal Jelly? They'll have them ready for you.

Home Made Bakery is also available which includes Kueh Lapis, Crispy Almond, Chocolate Almond Cookies, Traditional Pandan Kaya, etc.

Getting something special? Buy the Durian Heong Peah.

The resort provides transportation from Singapore to Kukup at a minimum of 10 pax.

The place is ideal for family gathering and some quality bonding time together. I'd suggest making reservation with the resort as early as 1 to 2 months ahead. The peak period is usually end of the year.

Contact the Resort to make your booking now!

Hai Di Lao Hot Pot 海底捞火锅 (Clarke Quay)

I heard that the service at Hai Di Lao Hot Pot is superb, so I went to try their hot pot.

Ganofarm Home Stay (Tanjung Sepat)

Where to stay in Tanjung Sepat?

Ganofarm Home Stay is located within Tanjung Sepat and we chose this place for our accommodation as it is near to the places where we would like to visit. Moreover, there's a restaurant just right within Ganofarm Home Stay which you could have a beer and relax by having karaoke session.

What was not so convenient for us would be the non-opening hours of the reception counter during the night time. If you do have queries, you'd have to wait till the next day to check with the staff. Overall, our stay was a pleasant one.

The staff will provide you with the Tanjung Sepat map when you check-in.

You could visit the popular places on the map.

How to get there?
Address: Lot 700, Jalan Laut Membiru, Taman Pelangi, 42800 Tanjung Sepat, Selangor Malaysia.
Tel: +603 319 75600

Website: http://www.ganofarm.com

We booked the room with 2 Queen size beds that could accommodate up to 4 persons.

The bathroom is a little space constraint.

In the early morning around 7am, take a walk around the area and you could find some food stalls open for business.

I queued for the chicken rice which costs RM2.

Where else have I been in Tanjung Sepat?

東屋 Azmaya Japanese Restaurant (Robertson Quay)

Shabu Shabu Time! Masami recommended us to have Shabu Shabu Pork Buffet with her at Azmaya. The restaurant was having a promotion when we first visited the place. And for the second time, we bought the coupon from Qoo10.sg at about S$20 for All-You-Can-Eat Japanese Shabu Shabu with Ala Carte Buffet and Free Flow of drinks. Worth!
