After passing the 'haunted mansion', we headed for the highway to go home. Then... out of the blue hubby said "why not we go to 'Batu Pahat' for dinner". " Sure" I said, (for those who don't know where 'Batu Pahat' is, well, it is about 45mins drive and Johor Baru is 2hrs drive away from our home. Both are in the opposite direction from Kluang (where I stay) . We travelled on the trunk road to Batu Pahat so the scenery was good. As we reached Batu Pahat, I insisted that we take the new route to Batu Pahat town. After lots of "disagreement" hubby agreed. But there was no new town. Just a stretch of new buildings and in a jiff hubby just drove through and we were suddenly on the way to 'Muar' which is about 1hr drive away from Batu Pahat. See... that's what I meant for a "RELAXING TRIP". As we'll heading for Muar the clouds were nice, the sun was so bright------ right infront of us, that made driving kind of glaring, but after a while we saw the beautiful sunset.
l don't know why l felt so good looking at the clouds, sun and sunset, maybe because l work in the evening and hardly have a chance to actually look at the sunset or lift my head up to see the clouds, even if I lift up my head it will be "oh, its' a cloudy day" that's about all, but this trip, we "followed" the cloud, sun and sunset for about an hour, and this time it really gave me a chance to look and admire them. l felt good!!
We saw a row of pre-war shop houses... 
soon "dissappearing" and being replaced by high and tall buildings. Not sure where we were heading so we just drove around, all the time looking for the only landmark we knew about Muar, that is the "Muar Bridge". 
Didn't seem to see it, so after asking around, we finally saw the bridge and headed for food. Our lunch was just rojak at about 2pm, can you imagine how hungry we were? We saw a very crowded food court with many stalls selling a variety of food, from bread to seafood. 
We ordered some food, the "otak otak"was really nice we even bought some home. 
I would not recommend the satay.
We managed to finish most of the food we ordered. 
After dinner, we leave Muar for home, Million and Dollar really tired and slept all the way back to home sweet home.

It was almost 7.30pm when we finally arrived at the outskirts of Muar.

Wow... looks like lots of fun. I've never been to Muar I think.. Also not sure. Maybe passed by only long time ago...
Oh boy, I really miss the otak-otak! Used to eat them often when a friend travels to Muar often. Heard the assam fish there is famous.
