Kukup Family Time!

In October (that is 3 months back. Oops!), the family went to Kukup for the sister's wedding part 2. It is my first time there because I always reject boyfriend's invitation to join him and his team. My brother drove us there and we stayed at Piggy House for two nights.

Really nothing much to do in Kukup but I guess it is a good place for big group of friends to hang out together. Mahjong and sing K from day to night and continue till the next day. We mahjong on both night till wee hours of the morning and drove ourselves crazy with the lack of sleep. Got to try so of the (more) delicious food from Kukup cos brother-in-law grew up there and they know where all the good stuff are. Apparently Kukup is more than just the same lane of road we see when we enter. There are so much more yummy food inside.

We started Friday with lunch at JB. BAK KU TEH!! <3

We relied on snapshot of maps to make our way to Kukup and reached safe and sound. Phew.... My brother is really quite daring sometimes.

you have reached Kukup!

We went out for coffee time and explored the area a little. Caught a glimpse of the sunset before heading back to Piggy House for yummy BBQ dinner! Some of the food were really good - OTAH! But we were attacking the food all the time, I didn't manage to take any photos. That night, we mahjong-ed and had super delicious prawn cracker.

cute little place in the middle of nowhere

The next morning, we woke up to breakfast (provided by Piggy House). Feel like kings and queens when we were there. Hee. The auntie at Piggy House helped to arrange for a trip to the nearby kelong and being typical city girl, I was looking forward to it. They also have tour to the National Park but we decided to skip it cos of the mosquitoes.

The uncle who drove the boat brought us around the small kelong and showed us some of the fishes there. Nothing much really and the food sold there were more expensive than on mainland. Tsk!

With nothing much left to do for the afternoon, we...

In the evening, we got ourselves ready for the wedding banquet. First time attending a wedding banquet in the school hall, EXCITED! HAHA!

It was a night filled with good food and live music. We ended by releasing some lantern which wasn't easy because it was really windy.

 

On Sunday, we came back at about 12pm (not before we had a few rounds of food). We saw lots of roadside stalls selling durian and got tempted to have some. My brother, being an anti-durian person, obliged!

The occasional break away from the hustle and bustle in the city is greatly appreciated, not sure when is the next time though. Ending this post with my minion which I bought at Kukup. It has stopped singing for a while though :((

BANANAAAAAA!!!
