Yu Lin Restaurant is a new Chinese restaurant I visited during the last Chinese New Year with my family. It currently occupies the same building in which another old and established restaurant used to operate in Kampung Baru – Mei Xiang Way.
Although Yu Lin is new, it has already received good recommendations for the good and cheap Chinese dishes. One of them being my close friend and another my family members themselves who have been there before this.
While browsing through Yu Lin’s menu, we noticed a unique dish called Claypot Duck with Yam @ RM15. Generous portions of duck meat and chunks of yam were the main ingredients, as the name suggested.
If you have a perception that duck meat is tough and tastes gamey, this dish would change your mind. I wasn’t too thrilled with the taste because I am not a yam fan, but my parents loved it a lot.
Surprised by the cheap price of RM9 for Fried Shark’s Fin with Egg, we simply had to order this because all of us loved this since young. It tasted great and for the amount of ingredients like mushroom and shark’s fin used, RM9 is a steal!
Oiliness is one of the shortcomings I noticed in this dish prepared by other restaurants. But Yu Lin certainly did a good job in controlling the amount of oil used, which was very evident from the photo itself.
Next was a personal favorite of my sister, Salad Prawns @ RM21. There are generally two versions of salad prawns, either steamed or fried. The former usually consists of steamed de-shelled prawns and served with honeydew, while the latter is deep fried to a crisp with the shells still intact.
The prawns were fresh from the sea and had a succulent, sweet tasting flesh. Simply an enjoyable dish, nothing to be complained about.
Kam Heong style is one of my favorite methods of cooking seafood, especially if cooked with lala clams. Since clams were not available that day, we had Kam Heong Squids @ RM12 instead.
This dish reminded me of a wonderful curry squid I had once in Penang, where the squids were also deep fried first to a really crispy, crunchy texture. After this, the squids would be transferred to another wok to be fried with Kam Heong sauce. The fragrance and spiciness of this dish is bound to whet your appetite, best if taken with white rice.
We also tried Yu Lin’s Signature Seafood Tofu (beancurd), costing only RM12 for a huge portion like this. Crispy on the outside but soft and warm inside, it was even nicer if dipped in Thai chili sauce.
Because all the food was great, we proceeded to order another two dishes – Stir Fried Chicken with Curry Powder @ RM8 and Fish Meat Yin Yong @ RM7. The curry chicken was a slight disappointment for the saltiness, but at least the chicken meat was tender. I guess this dish was not meant to be eaten on its own but with white rice as well to even out the flavor.
This gotta be one of the nicest Yin Yong Kung Fu Chow (Cantonese style) I ever had. It packed enough ‘Wok Hei’ and the egg broth was simply delicious. But the speciality remains that fresh fish slices and prawns were used instead of pork.
Overall, a very happy and satisfied meal. Very recommended for those looking for good and reasonable priced Chinese restaurants in BM.

So, you are visiting Melaka, strolling along the famous Jonker Street. Then you get exhausted and sweating from all the walking and sun, wanting to get a place to sit down and enjoy icy cool desserts. Don’t fret! Jonker 88, a self-claimed Museum Cafe located right at the middle of Jonker Street serves some home-made cendol and ice kacang, unique only to Melaka.
OK that intro wasn’t really necessary if you have been to Jonker Street, lol. I bet most of you who have visited Melaka already tried the famous cendol and ice kacang right? No? Then do remember to try the desserts in your next trip yeah. That been said, lets proceed with the foooooood.
Oops, blur photo! Anyway this is the critically acclaimed Durian Cendol that everyone seemed to love. But dude, where’s my durian syrup? Do you see any? Me neither. Actually the syrup was there (I saw she poured it on the cendol with my own eyes) but I guess I was the unlucky one for getting so little durian love from the lady. Definitely not “durian” enough so I didn’t enjoy, hmmph. So remember to ask for more durian syrup lah.
Having no idea what to choose for the second dessert, I simply picked the E.P.C, which stands for Eight Precious Cendol. I am gueesing this cendol had eight different ingredients under the shaved ice from its name. Peanuts and cendol are pretty obvious but I didn’t check the rest of the ingredients though.
Gula Melaka (palm sugar) and Santan were heavily drizzled on both desserts, but not as much if compared to my first visit 4 years ago. That time, the word “flooded” would be more appropriate, lol. Actually this worked for me because I feel too much Gula Melaka would spoil the cendol for its overpowering taste and oversweetness.
Anyway, I have said it before and I will say it again.. I still like of cendol and ice kacang more, hehe.
Self-service is required here for the desserts and noodles. So, you gotta queue starting from the entrance, place your order, wait for the staff to prepare it (remember more Durian syrup!!) and carry it to your table.
Which requires you to go through a small door and the massive crowd..
To find yourself with no available tables at all… What I want to say is to hog a table first before ordering lah.
If you haven’t try Baba Laksa before, Jonker 88 is a good place to try. It is basically a noodle in sweet coconut milk soup, served with some cucumber and onion slices, tofu pok and a spoonful of tuna. With the addition of tuna, Baba Laksa tasted like both curry mee and laksa combined in a good way.
I am sure there are other places to look for better Nyonya/Baba Laksa but that would depend on whether you know the direction to those places. For us, we were in for a short trip and simply did not have the luxury of time to hunt for the best of all food.
Can you notice the typo in less than 5 seconds?
Visiting Melaka wouldn’t be complete without having a bowl of icy cool cendol or ice kacang in Jonker 88 Museum Cafe. Agree?

The weather has been quite hot lately with the temperature soaring high and one can easily feel thirsty for being exposed to the sun under such weather condition. Normally, we will be looking for cold drinks or something cooling like herbal tea or coconut drinks. Most of us know that to get the fresh coconut water, we will normally head to at Abu Siti Lane to get a quick cooling solution for re-hydration.
All this while, we have been drinking coconut water and our mind has been pretty much fixed with that perception until someone actually think of out of the box and started to great innovative with coconut. Yes, we kid you not and the results of this is another dessert that is really amazing.
Located along Jalan Dato Keramat, at the traffic light cross road right after Penang Times Square is a row of shophouses that we seldom pay attention of (We bet you that!). Even if you notice this row of shop houses, you will likely think that this shop is just a regular shoplot that sells coconuts or its byproducts.
The first instantaneous glance will look typically normal with lots of coconuts inside this shoplot and some workers busy at the corner of the table preparings customers’ orders. Even from the look at the picture above, there is nothing interesting at all that you will capture your attention, right?
However, if you look to the right of the shoplot, you will find a fridge with lots of readily packed coconuts stored inside. Hey, what the heck are these coconuts being stored here for?
So what is so special about these coconuts? Are they not just like any regular coconuts with the husks removed and chilled, ready to eat?
Penang’s Coconut Jelly (in case you did not see at the fridge above) is the specialty that we are talking here. Yes, we are talking about coconut jelly. It is basically jelly made of coconut water but the uniqueness is the ability to use the coconut itself as containers with the coconut meat still remains intact. The innovative idea to package the coconut jelly in its original form deserves to be praised and to use the coconut water into jelly is something simple yet truly stands out from the rest, like the the .
Once the cover is opened, it reveals the coconut jelly that has been stored inside and looks just like coconut water. The jelly is slightly opaque with reflective surface and it is very soft, much like pudding or gel texture. The nice coconut scent can be easily smelled from the jelly itself.
The sweetness of the coconut water is sufficient enough that this coconut jelly does not need sugar as an ingredient. Putting each spponful into the mouth is just cooling as well as refreshing. The soft texture of the coconut jelly, coupled with the cooling sensation in the mouth made us keep scooping more more from the coconut itself.
The best part is even after you have finished the coconut jelly, you can still scrape the inner wall of the coconut to consume the coconut meat. Depending on the type of coconut you get, some are easy to scrape of while others are not. For us, we finished everything clean and we actually packed some home too 
It will be easier to use spoons to scoop the jelly but you can always opt for sucking the jelly like water if you can. Of course, with its gel like textures, it is not that hard to suck it up.
Oh well, this is not something new apparently but for this kind of product innovation, it definitely deserves to be mentioned at PenangTuaPui.com! The uniqueness of this product ought to be promoted and shared with our readers that now we have another byproduct made of coconut…
Sekali rasa, nak rasa lagi. Yes, the tagline is definitely true at least for us. Each coconut jelly costs RM3.70 and you can bargain for discounts if you happen to purchase in larger quantity. Also, PenangTuaPui will have something sweet for our readers as well. Stay tuned! (Yes, we have been repeating that and we mean it!!!)

Many moons ago, while doing some window shopping at 1 Utama, we walked past a very nice looking Japanese restaurant called Pasta Zanmai. It was certainly new to me at that time because I was hiatus from KL for a very long time. Looking at the menu alone was enough to convince me to try, for the wide selection of Japanese food Pasta Zanmai had to offer looked amazingly delectable.
While we thought Japanese pasta should be Pasta Zanmai’s main attraction, we didn’t order any. SL had the Unagi Kabayaki set meal @ RM20, which was Roasted Eel with Kabayaki Sauce served with rice, salad and miso soup. One of the reasons we ordered this was because the huge amount of Unagi displayed in the menu, it seemed like a very good deal. Besides, Unagi is one of my favorite in Japanese food!
The generous amount of delicious Unagi, packed with full of flavor. Because the portion was big, we could afford to have big mouthfuls of Unagi instead of small bites. The satisfaction was simply indescribable!
While SL may have hit the jackpot by ordering Unagi Kabayaki, I wasn’t as lucky with my order. I had the Curry Sauce no Omu Rice (Fried Tomato Chicken Rice topped with Omelette & Curry Sauce) @ RM18, which is basically just some fried rice wrapped in omelette, then served on a pool of Japanese Curry.
Well the Japanese Curry was nice, mild and fragrant but I wasn’t too happy with the portion and the ingredients used in the fried rice. I only found little bits of chicken meat in the fried rice, and that’s all about it. If I only added another two bucks, I could have had Unagi too, lol.
Being a little upset with my Omu Rice, I ordered a soup to console myself – Kani Miso Soup @ RM6. At first I was a bit skeptical when I saw the soup’s photo in the menu, thinking that the crab might be there just to emphasize the crab flavor.
But what a pleasant surprise when the soup arrived. Albeit rather small, the crab was fresh and edible with some flesh, quite enjoyable for me. Oh, and the Kani Miso Soup tasted a lot better than the normal miso soup too, packing a slightly thicker texture and sweeter taste.
Overall, it was a great meal. Too bad I have vowed to cut down on my restaurant visits, else I will definitely drive to Sunway Pyramid now to try the other dishes lol.

PD Ostrich Show Farm is one of the main attractions in Port Dickson, which I only discovered when I was planning my trip through the Internet. Usually when Port Dickson is mentioned, the beaches will come into mind first since it is mainly famous for that. So, I wouldn’t have guessed that an ostrich farm would be here as well. To be honest I wasn’t too keen on visiting the farm at first but since it was recommended by many people who visited it before, I went anyway.
Ostrich Show Farm is located on the 9th mile of the Port Dickson coastal road, quite easy to find if you are driving along the coastal road. The entrance was RM8 for adults and RM6 for kids, quite pricey for a mini zoo if you ask me.. it’s more expensive than visiting Malacca Zoo!
Funnily enough, the first animal we went to see was the horse at the petting zoo instead of ostriches lol. There were a couple of rabbits as well but they were closed in small cages so we couldn’t touch them 
Saw some turkeys wondering around, and that’s a fat one for sure. Didn’t dare to move too close to them as male turkeys are quite aggressive and territorial. I know this because we used to rear a pair of turkeys back in my house.
What bird is this? Seen it quite a number of times at numerous bird parks throughout the country.
The nicest looking male ostrich among all, handsome looking with a perfect coat of feathers. The rest mostly had a bare bottom which is emm.. not a very nice sight lol.
Since it’s more like a mini zoo, there are many other animals to see like crocodiles, goats, civets and small reptiles. But the star would be Abu, a female Macaque which was very clever in plucking coconuts.
Although Abu had a fierce look and bared her teeth occasionally, it was safe to take a photo with her. She was very intelligent too, as soon as someone sits next to her, she would climb over and sit on their laps for photo taking.
The trainer pinching her mouth lol. I took a photo with Abu and you may have seen it before at my . It was a nice to be able to get so close to a Macaque, the feeling was warm, fluffy and emm.. wet underneath lol.
By the way, Abu’s favorite food is durian ice cream, you should’ve seen her eating it after the show.. simply adorable.
After meeting with Abu it was time for ostrich race. Here, you can ride an ostrich provided you are not more than 75kg and it costs RM4 each time. None of the people who went that day dared to ride the ostriches so we were all spectators.
Now you know the bare bottom I mentioned earlier? I really have no idea what happened to the ostriches that would cause such a big bald spot, lol.
We bought some animal feed at RM2 each box which contained yellow corn and proceeded to the feeding area. While feeding the ostriches, one important thing to do was to open your palms outward as wide as possible. This is because ostrich has a rather long and sharp beak that would hurt your fingers when they peck the food from your hand.
Not to mention they peck really hard too.
Located between the ostrich race track and petting zone was a small hut with three ostrich eggs under it. Let me tell you why they were there.. to be stepped on! Ostrich eggs are the largest of all eggs and have a shell so tough that it could support an adult’s weight. I tried stepping on it and yeah nothing happened, felt like stepping on a rock only hehe.
Ostrich satay was available at the cafeteria and I ordered some to try.
It wasn’t nice though.. the meat was tough, dry and had a rough texture. *addon: There were many comments about the ostrich satay’s untastiness so I just wanna clarify.. ostrich meat is one of the best meat you can eat in the world for being low in fat. It tastes awesome if you cook it with black pepper or ginger and onion, with a very similar taste to lean beef but a lot tender. It was just that the ostrich satay I had was terrible. Maybe because very old meat was used, or the cook overcooked them*
After the meal and a brief rest, we decided to leave because it started to rain. But before that we fed all the remaining corn to the goats just next to the exit. They were super active and would run and jump around just to get to our food lol.
OK the visit seemed short but we actually spent a good 3 hours there. There was a crocodile feeding session which I didn’t show because it was shown twice in my previous trips to and . If you’re not a beach lover or not looking for a swim, PD Ostrich Show Farm is a nice place to visit especially for families.

During my last trip to Ipoh I finally had the opportunity to try the famous Bean Sprouts Chicken (Nga Choi Gai). It is a fact that whenever Ipoh is mentioned, the first food to come mind would be Bean Sprouts Chicken Rice or Koay Teow. Although I have been to Ipoh a couple of times, I did not try this symbolic food simply because I have always ended up in kopitiam drinking instead, lol. Besides being the most famous, Lou Wong was also agreed, by many to serve one of the best Bean Sprouts Chicken Rice in Ipoh.
Well I think everyone should know that Bean Sprouts Chicken is similar to Hainanese Steamed Chicken, just that it is eaten together with a plate of bean sprouts. So, it all boils down to the smoothness and tenderness of the steamed chicken to separate itself from the other chicken rice. Lou Wong’s steamed chicken’s skin had this slippery smooth texture and tender yet firm flesh, which was truly terrific.
Bean Sprouts – seasoned with some pepper, light soya sauce and oil. I didn’t find anything special about the taste but their shapes were definitely a bit shorter and fatter than the usual taugeh.
We also ordered some of Lou Wong’s famous beef balls. They were quite big and had a bouncy and springy texture. Nice.
The Kue Tiau (Koay Teow) was tasty because of the sweet, flavorful soup. But it had some bubbles that looked weird to me. I tried not to think too much while eating but I am still wondering if they are caused by dish wash that wasn’t properly washed off the bowls lol.
Lou Wong’s chicken is tasty alright but I was quite appalled by the level of hygiene practiced by the waiters. Hands that touched remments of previous eaters and table cloth are the same hands used to serve food and drinks. Can you imagine my horror when I saw one of their fingers dipped into our koay teow soup?
Well, I guess this is something often overlooked by many when patronizing Lou Wong so I thought there was no point complaining. Besides, nothing happened to me anyway after the meal, I just felt a bit geli lol. Oh by the way, this was where the chickens were cooked by placing them into the big steel pots of boiling water.
Then they would be transferred and hung here after being fully cooked, ready for any customer’s orders.
There are a few Bean Sprouts Chicken restaurants here as well with Onn Kee (diagonally opposite) being the biggest competitor to Lou Wong. And after some research I found that some people actually preferred Onn Kee’s chicken to Lou Wong’s. Hmm, I can only wait for my next trip to Ipoh find out myself.
I don’t know about being the best, but Lou Wong is definitely the most popular in Ipoh. You won’t believe the exaggerating crowd eating here, people were standing around waiting for tables!
Because of this, you are kinda forced to leave immediately after finishing your meal to give up the table. You know the uneasy feeling you get when people are staring at your table, silently hoping for you to finish your food as soon as possible? lol. If you can overlook this and the questionable hygiene, then yeah Lou Wong is recommended.

The curry mee at Taman Bukit’s hawker centre is one of the most popular in Bukit Mertajam. If you want to taste one of the finest curry mee sold in Bukit Mertajam in the morning, I would recommend you this stall. For night ones, ’s hawker centre would be the one to look for. I remembered the last time I went it was during my high school days, and I am glad to say the taste is still being maintained and reasonably priced @ RM2.50 per bowl.
I was already craving for curry mee like mad when I last went back hometown during the last Chinese New Year. So, on the 4th day of CNY I got up early and had my cravings satisfied. Being one of the two stalls only open that day, business was super brisk. Some people even took away twenty packets of curry mee at one go! Even so, my order came rather quickly. Quite impressed with their ability to remember the orders so clearly in such a busy session.
The ingredients are of typical Penang curry mee: cockles, tofu pok, long beans and my favorite – coagulated pork blood.. simply can’t get enough of it. Besides the ingredients, what makes a good bowl of curry mee is none other than the soup and the chili sauce. The sweet coconut curry soup, when combined with the thick chili sauce turned into a fiery red soup full of kick that makes you want more with every mouthful. Really nice.
It had been so long since I last visited. A new (but shoddy) hawker centre has been built to provide proper shelter and a cleaner environment to the stall owners and patrons. Last time, the hawker stalls here operated under a huge tree and it was pretty unhygienic place. Almost 80% of the patrons were here for the curry mee, kinda shows the popularity and tastiness no?
Part of the morning crowd who were queing for their curry mee. It seems nothing can stop Penangites from hunting for their favorite foods, even during the biggest festive celebration of the year lol. So, how soon did you come out hunting for hawker food during Chinese New Year? Me? On the first day itself! Can’t blame a Penangite being too long away, lol.
Ok, here comes the direction.. tricky. Since the hawker centre is actually situated next to a residential area, it only means lots of lanes and turns like a maze. Take the turning from BM High School (Pak Lah’s former school) into Jalan Stowell and follow the road, until you reach a T junction and take the left turn into Jalan Goh Chong Thoe. You will be going up hill now. Take either the first or second turning (doesn’t matter since it will join back at the same road) on your right and go downhill. You will see the hawker centre at the end of the road.

Few days ago I had an invited dinner at Schokolart, a restaurant and lounge specializing in hand-made Swiss chocolate and chocolate inspired cuisines. Now who would say no to chocolate, lol. Like a popular quote goes, “9 out of 11 people like chocolate. The 10th person always lies”. Even the restaurant’s unique and catchy name, Schokolart is spelled to to sound like chocolate with an emphasis on the word ‘art’.
After being briefed on the food Schokolart’s menu had to offer, we started off with two drinks that came highly recommended. The drink in front is Chocolate Almond Kiss, a concoction of Frangelico (a hazelnut and herb-flavoured liqueur), Chocolate Ice Cream and Vodka @ RM28. Even though I am not a drinker, I found the taste somewhat resembling Bailey’s Irish Cream (the only liqueur I have ever had) but more chocolatey.
The other drink we had was Schokolart’s signature shake – Soulmates @ RM16.90. Soulmates is prepared by blending dark chocolate ice-cream together with peanut butter then topped with whipped cream. I liked this chocolatey and peanut buttery drink a lot because it was sweet and had a right consistency. To differentiate the alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in Schokolart is simple, those that come in hurricane glasses are alcohol free.
Pumpkin Dreams @ RM9.90 was another recommended dish, basically pumpkin soup topped with melted cheese and served with herb croutons. The soup was smooth and thick and tasted great, just like how a good soup should be. Some grated ginger was also present in the soup, giving a hint of spiciness and warm feeling to your stomach.
Next was our main course – De La Mer, a dish consisting of pan fried salmon fillet and Swiss Roesti served with special Hollandaise-wasabi sauce. In this dish alone there were two new things to me: Roesti and Hollandaise sauce. An explanation ensued and it seems that Roesti is potato pancake and is considered as a national dish in Switzerland. Hollandaise sauce on the other hand is a French sauce made using butter, egg and lemon juice that is usually served on asparagus (where the salmon fillets are sitting on).
In my opinion this dish is very worth the price tag it carried @ RM24.90. Just look at the huge salmon fillets alone, need I say more? lol.
Another Swiss Roesti dish we had was Baseler, which was a huge serving of Roesti pan fried with fried onion rings @ RM12.90. For this dish, three types of German sausage (Hot Jalapeno, Cream and Cheese and Chopped Onion and Chives) can be chosen as an accompaniment. Of course, this is totally optional @ RM5.50 per sausage ordered.
Truth be told, I enjoyed the German sausage more compared to Roesti because it was packed with flavor and oozed cheese in the middle. I guess I am more of a meat lover lol.
Expect to find a lot of unique chocolate inspired dishes at Schokolart, like lamb with chocolate sauce and this dark bittersweet chocolate marinated chicken satay. Looking at this, I have to say Schokolart is very daring in creating their very own signature dishes especially when it involves Satay – a dish so popular in Malaysia it can be considered a national dish. So, the recipe had to be darn good to be able to impress someone like me who have tasted some of the best Malaysia satays. Schokolart’s Satay is priced at RM20.90 for 5 sticks.
Taste wise, it didn’t disappoint but it sure felt weird having satay marinated with dark chocolate, I am not gonna lie here. After all, all of us grew up eating roadside satay stalls. To really feel the chocolate taste, you shouldn’t dip too much of the sweet satay sauce because the sweetness will override the chocolate flavor. By the way that was the first time I tasted meat cooked with chocolate, simply unforgettable.
We concluded our meal with two cups of hot chocolate made with imported Swiss chocolate, like Tealicious Choc – Earl Grey Tea infused with hot chocolate @ RM13 and La Esmeralda – a Mexican hot chocolate spiced with chili powder and frothed with cinnamon syrup @ RM13. Both drinks are very chocolatey especially La Esmeralda, which left a slight throat-stinging aftertaste from the chili powder.
Delicate chocolates and tempting looking cakes front Schokolart, created by multi award winning chocolate and pasty chef – Matthias.

The dining area where you can enjoy an clear, unblocked view of the Petronas Twin Towers. Very nice. If you’re a chocolate lover Schokolart’s the place to go to indulge in Superior quality of fine hand-made Swiss Chocolates, pure chocolate beverages, chocolate cakes and desserts. For those who have a chocolate loving friends, the haute couture (specifically made to order) selection of chocolates and cakes packed in special designer gift-box make great gifts for occasions like birthday and Valentine’s day. As Schokolart’s tagline goes, it is for all those chocoholics who are “For Love, Live & Chocolates“.

Excerpt from:
On my last Port Dickson trip, I searched everywhere to get info for the best place to have breakfast in Port Dickson because the hotel package we took did not include breakfast. The conclusion of my research was that everyone who visited Port Dickson before highly recommended PD Eating Point for their popular Western breakfast set.
Not wanting to take risk, we followed their advice and had the same breakfast at PD Eating Point just like they did.
This is the famous Western breakfast set at PD Eating Point, consisting of double sausages, double eggs, double toasts and some baked beans. You can choose between scrambled egg and fried egg, whichever you prefer more.
For the first day we had the fried egg set, and it was a nice breakfast. The portion was quite big as well, which is a good thing to help us stay full longer. By the way, this photo was taken using my 50mm lens, which came out nice and sharp.. Now compare it to the next photo taken with kit lens..
Here it is.. the one taken with kit lens.. notice the HUGE difference? Man, this really makes me wanna throw my kit lens away (which I already did by the way) If you are wondering, this was not our second round or someone else’s breakfast lol. It was just our breakfast for the second day of our trip.
See how good it was? We decided to return the next day to try scrambled egg version because it tasted so nice. Sorry but I couldn’t remember the price anymore but it was very reasonable so don’t worry.
Besides the Western breakfast set prepared by the coffee shop, some other food like roti canai, nasi lemak and noodles are also available. The nasi lemak seem like a big hit with the locals as well from what I noticed..
If you are planning a trip to Port Dickson soon and don’t know where to eat for breakfast.. I am going to join the bandwagon and recommend you PD Eating Point. And do come early because plenty of marine personnels and students have their breakfast here. The restaurant fills up very fast and you could hardly find a table for your own by then.
Direction courtesy of :
P.D. Eating Point – Next to Le Paris Hotel and PD Catholic church.
Somewhat vague directions – Make your way to PD town. You will reach a roundabout. Take the right turnout. Pass over some railway tracks, go straight on (the road bends to the left and to the right) and you should come up to the coffee shop on your left (it is a corner coffee shop). Catholic Church will be on your right opposite the shop.
