This stretch of road (Woodlands Terrace) is where you can buy food directly from the factory.

If you want to have Turkey, Ham or different type of Sausages for your party, you can give them a visit where they sell lots of different meat product. Just go directly to 2nd floor and place your order with them. They accept cash and nets but do note that you need to pay additional 2% if you want to use nets.



If you want to have sashimi or seafood platter. You can go to their walk in freezer to pick your item. Their salmon fly all the way from Norway.



You want log cake, brownies, cookies, etc? Give them a visit and sample as much as you want!



I don't think I need to introduce this factory :p


Just beside this factory is the Fragrances BBQ pork, you can get some discount if you buy from them during the Chinese New Year period and they do have other New Year goodies.

A day trip to Air Papan (Eastern part of Malaysia)

Air Papan is located between Mersing and Endau and is about 10km from Mersing Town.

Its a small malay village situated beside the beach and you can see Pulau Rawa from there











On arrival, discover that its a very small kampung with some budget chalet for visitor. Not much of amenities but they do have 2 or 3 provision shop and a food stall.




There are lots of local picnic on the beach and I do envy them. Imagine packing up their truck/car with picnic stuff and drive all the way to the beach itself and setup the area and enjoy. This is something where you do not find it in Singapore.



They do have chalet for rent to people who are not that adventurous enough. Found this Chalet is pack with people and seem one of the better one there.







We also explore the other chalet and this one looked establish but found that there are too many mosquito there. I killed 4 mosquitoes and miss another 2 within a 10minutes stroll.




Inside


Believe that these goose belong to the chalet. They roam around the premises freely and they didn't attack us stranger. Normally goose are territorial animals and people used to keep them to guard their property. They will attack any stranger and their bite is unforgettable.



We took a slow walk down the beach, we found some improvement activities and I believe that maybe in another year or so, this place will be pack with tourist.



Found this place is very peaceful and there isn't anything much to offer. However, as there are sign that the village is doing some upgrading project (building watch tower, bathing facilities, etc) to attract more visitor, it may become the next cherating village.

There is one setback which is the seawater, it's brownish and seem very dirty. The wave is too huge which make swimming very dangerous.

Edited:
Feedback from some member in MCF, seem like I visited this place at the wrong time (Dec), recommended to be between Apr to Sept where you can find calm sea and clear water.

On the 1st May, there will be some sort of celebration on that beach and it attach lots of local tourist.
