This morning, I went out with my in-laws for breakfast. Because we took a late breakfast, my FIL decided to buy a kebab before playing his golf game in the afternoon. So I went down from the car to buy his one from this small stall around the Seri area.


Boy, was I in for a surprise! I am not a fan of kebab and all this while in my mind, I assume that kebab is a pita bread stuffed with beef and vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, big onions... (like the picture shown).



When the man was frying the kebab (the beef was a lot except that it's mixed with cucumbers only), I thought the pita bread would be the big kind but it's not...


It's half the size of a normal pita bread which I think it will only fill a kid's stomach.


In the end, I ended up buying another roti john for my FIL because I really don't think that kebab would be very filling!

Last Monday, my in-laws and I took Kayden down to Serasa Beach - we wanted to check out the 'fish market'. It was a long drive from our house - I never realised the distance. When I was young, we used to go down to Muara Beach and most of the time, it was my dad driving. Now I know how he feels along the 'journey'.


This picture shows how Serasa stalls used to look like. Now, you just imagine it without the camp and pieces of broken sticks lying around there...



The 'trip' was a disappointment! Not only did we not get to buy fish, the environment was quite a disaster! - broken stalls everywhere, rubbish all around... But the scenery was beautiful. When I drove along the road, it reminded me of Singapore's East Coast Park. In my head, this is a perfect spot to have a replica of East Coast Park - the long stretch of road could be a pathway for joggers or cyclists, the open space could be made used of, for example, build simple but nice restrooms, some huts for people to have picnics... Serasa Beach can be fully utilised if the authorized people could just sit down and plan ahead - even Muara Beach looks nicer than before.
