Army Museum (Muzium Tentera Darat) @ Port Dickson (Part 1)

Actually we want to pay a visit to the Ostrich Farm, unfortunately it's raining heavily in the morning.  Thus, we bring our kids to the Muzium Tentera Darat.  All these while, they like to watch Transformers.  Those war tanks are their favorite vehicles.  This time, they have a chance to touch them.  So excited~

Dinner @ Weng Yin Seafood Village 九哩香海鲜村, Port Dickson

After we have spend our afternoon session at the Water Park of Tiara Beach Resort, we all starving for dinner.  As we are disappointed with the breakfast meals in the morning, we decided to drive out for our dinner.  After searching through the web, we proceed to the bloggers' recommended restaurant called Weng Yin Seafood Village 九哩香海鲜村.

The sign board

The counter, servings Muslim Seafood

Our appetizer @ RM2.00 

Bitter Gourd Omelet @ RM6.00

My kids' favorite dish, they finish the whole plate. ^^

Three Taste Fish 三味非洲鱼 @ RM30.00

It's one of the restaurant's signature dish.  Since we have kids dining together, they serve the sauce separately.  Even though without the sauce, the kids enjoy the crunchiness of the deep fried fish.  My eldest call this 'flying fish' ;-p

The sauce to be served with our fish

I must said, the fish is not perfect without the sauce.  It's a combination of spicy, sour and sweet sauce.  It's one of the yummy dish i like~

Marmite Chicken Cubes 妈蜜鸡丁 @ RM10.00

The chicken is crunchy, the marmite sauce is thick and flavorful.  This dish is even better than those we had in KL.  Thumbs up!

Drunken Prawns 醉虾 @ RM29.00

In the end, we decided to add order.  It's a big kick of having this dish!  The soup is strong with wine taste and comes with a lot of fresh, yummy prawns~  Husband finish the soups.  Oh, i miss this soup now.....

Beach Front Cafe @ Tiara Beach Resort, Port Dickson

We planned to spend our second day at Tiara Beach Resort as the kids want to play at the Water Park.  Thus, we have our breakfast at the resort.  The nearest for breakfast is Beach Front Cafe.

The cafe 

The cafe is selling junk foods, nasi lemak, sandwiches, drinks, ice creams, cup noodles and etc.  The price is higher than those selling outside the resort.

Because the cafe is just located in front of the beach, the dining area is full of sands.  You can see a lot of ants wandering around the counter.

Cheese sandwich @ RM3.00

A cold sandwich and nothing special, just an ordinary sandwich.

Nasi Lemak biasa @ RM6.00

The pre-packed normal nasi lemak.  Even though it's packed in a microwave reheatable container, the cafe does not provide 'REHEAT' service.  With the price of RM6.00, it just comes with some anchovies, peanuts, half hard boiled egg, two slices of tomato and sambal.  I personally think it's over priced.  More over, it's cold.  Quite disappointed with this rice.

Waffle @ RM5.00

The waffle is the only hot meal for us in the morning.  We order the peanut butter with chocolate and it's just taste ok.  My kids prefer the one we had in KL.

After having these in the morning, we decided to drive away from the resort for our dinner after the splish splash session at the Water Park.

Pantai Kemang @ Port Dickson

Our kids haven't been to any beach before.  After we check-in our room and unload our luggages, we decided to bring them to the beach for a walk.  We drive all the way out to Pantai Kemang, where it has lots of souvenir stalls all along the beach.

It's 4.30pm, the sun is still hanging high up to the sky.

The shadows of my kids at the beach

The beach has a public washroom which charging RM1 per person.  You can take a shower and change your clothes after having fun at the beach.

We saw some monkeys playing.

Tricycle for rent

It's an empty place where can have a tri-cycle ride and poney ride.

After an hour's time at the beach, we need to feed ourselves.  Just a few minutes drive, we found this Top Seafood Restaurant at the roadside.  It's a corner shop of a row of shoplots.  We decided to give it a try.

Dinner at Restoran Top Seafood 鱼虾蟹海鲜楼

They have a double swing at the corner of the restaurant

Sweet & Sour pork 咕噜肉

The pork is ok but we prefer a crunchy one.  Maybe because we request to have a non-spicy version, so the sauce is more to sour taste.

Dry butter prawns 干奶油虾

Thumbs up to the crunchiness of the prawns!  The prawns are fresh enough but the portion is too small.

Fried vege 清炒菜胆

Sizzling oyster omelet 铁板蚝煎

The omelet has to consume together with the veges, if not, just taste salty only.  Nothing fanciful.

We have six rice and a pot of chinese tea and the total comes to RM60+.  Quite reasonable.

Getaway @ Tiara Beach Resort, Port Dickson

It's school holidays~  I bought an accommodation's voucher at Tiara Beach Resort last year and arrange our first family trip to Port Dickson this year.  This is our kids' first time outing to the seaside, wish to let them get close to the nature and give them a chance to see the 'SEA'.

From Kuala Lumpur to Port Dickson, it takes about an hour's time,  quite close actually.  Suitable for kids because they can't sit still inside the car for too long.  We check in our room as soon as we reach Port Dickson.

This is our room, comes with a bunk bed, a wardrobe and a dressing table with mirror.

Two queen size beds with TV, TV cabinet and wooden chairs with table.

They have a pantry area inside the room too, comes with a mini fridge.

The washroom comes with a hot shower.

The room itself can accommodate 7 peoples.  It has an air-conditioner and two ceiling fans.  Since this is a private unit which does not belong to the Tiara Beach Resort, so we have to do all the cleanliness by ourselves.  Moreover, remember to bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, toilet paper and other necessary things.

A friendly reminder, never left food in the room as the ants are easily attracted by the smells.  Throw away the rubbish as soon as possible.

The facilities all around the resort:-

The Water Park of Tiara Beach Resort

With beach front

The kids' water park

The Beach Front Cafe 

I hope the resort aware of the cleanliness of this cafe because the counter is full of ants wandering around.  Furthermore, the food is cold esp. the nasi lemak.  The nasi lemak is packed in a microwave reheatable container but the cafe does not provide microwave oven to heat up the rice.  It is so bad for us to have a cold rice in the morning. :-(
