Lunch on the final day was not so much of a surprise, for the past two days had thought us that it would be ample and satisfying, and so it was as we downed nonya fare for one last time over the weekend.
There was also dessert and other standard stuff but I shan't bore you with those...
While that was the last of our nonya meals, it was not the last of our brush with nonya gastronomy as we were then taken to a household which manufactured nonya delights. Pity most of the good stuff had been sold by then though...
And that, I hoped (being a little tired and sated with food), would have signalled our return to Singapore but no, we had to stop along the way for durians, from which I abstained....
And at some shop selling local produce. Well, I guess you can't blame the organisers. After all, the whole trip only cost $188 and it had been very satisfactory so we cannot begrudge them the commission they probably would get for bringing us to various outlets. But boy was it crowded...
And then just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in! Apologies to Godfather afficionados, but at least this time it was to some place good, a seafood joint at a very, very ulu part of Johor next to the sea. The food was ok, slightly above average, but hey, what could we complain about? We didn't even expect dinner - remember this trip was only $188... Instead we got plentiful portions, of which one comprised black pepper crabs!
And that was that!!! A very fulfilling, satisfactory trip at, on pain of repeating, S$188!!!
