This was my 3rd visit to Bukit Gambir, and this time, i went to the restaurant 侨興 that was marked on Google maps. There must be a good reason for a restaurant to be highlighted in Google Maps, especially when it shows up at low zoom levels. True enough, 侨興 is one of the few […]

North-South highway lunch stop – Kampung Serom
North-South highway lunch stop – Sungai Mati
Sungai Mati means dead river, literally translated. Only now that I’ve read the Wiki entry do i understand why it is named so. You can see the Ox-bow lake from Google Maps (see below).

It is easily accessible from the North-South highway – merely 8 minutes from the Pagoh toll exit. Panchor is a quiet village by the Muar river, and i love the sense of serenity here. This was much […]
