Malaysia, Johor Bahru - Boat Noodle

I love to eat boat noodle especially the spicy and sour taste of the sauce. The boat noodle origin from Thailand.

If you miss Thailand food, you can try out "Boat Noodle" in Malaysia, Johor Bahru. However, the taste of the food is not 100% same as in Thailand.

Menu

Menu

There are not many varieties but their food are standard.

This is how you take your order. Likewise, in Thailand, the same principle of accompanying food items are at your side table. Psst, the fish sauce is definitely worth to add in to your boat noodle.

Once you decide what to order, call  the staffs and they take your orders.

The ice milk tea taste so milky. Those who like to add more condense milk then this is specially for you.

First up it's the Grilled Chicken Meatball. True to its menu, very juicy and sauce accompanied very well.

Here comes the main part. On the top right is clear soup based which is called Pathumtani and the others are Ayutthaya. You have options whether to go for the rice or egg noodle. Our recommendations go for the rice noodle which in this picture.

Pathumthani recipe is a dark soy sauce broth with an appetizingly sour-ish and delicately spicy flavor. 

Ayutthaya has an intensify flavor based creamy dark broth with no less than ten herbs and spices. 

After the satisfying meal, you can make your way to the cashier to make a payment. Do take note that they accept cash only.

Okay let's dive into the main part of this post. Divided by 3 sections from System 2.0 (A & B) and Full-size cable system. But before

System 2.0 for beginners (A & B)

This section offers the fundamental knowledge on how to cable ski when you’re first timer. This system is great for anyone from learning to kneeboard or stand on the wakeboard. Section A was practically easy, lining up your position and knowing the posture on how to start off. The sitting start was most comfortable for me. Best of all, you can take your time to learn as this is only one person at a time hence creating a safe learning environment whereby the instructor focuses only on one rider each time. The speed is adjustable, which makes leaning how to stand on a wakeboard easier, and it also means gentle falls. Perfect for young children and those just starting out on the wakeboard.

Section A - Teaches you how to begin

Section B - This is where you'll be levelling up. Teaches how to deep water start in case you accidentally fall inside the water and doing a figure of '8'. Basically, it's the manoeuvring turns.

Based on my experience, first try out wasn’t as easy. But throughout on trying again, it was a joy to be riding again and again. Till the time you didn’t notice, you are having fun. I have been lost of words by how incredible this new sport for me.  

Section C : Full size cable system

If you have what it takes from the two sections, then it's time to bring in the challenge to the next level. Key features include 6 towers and 6 evenly-spaced carriers, advanced sensor technology and environmentally-friendly cable system. There's a max capacity of 6 riders at each time. I didn't manage to ride on this system as mostly were spend time on System 2.0. What I was told is that this is much faster to anticipate and uses a much more thicker wire. They adding obstacles in the full size cable system soon in the near future such as (Kickers, Box, Rail, Grom Table, Pipe).

Why Should You Travel to Some Place Foreign Yearly

I love to travel as much as the next person. I love going out, exploring places, learning foreign culture, meeting new people and experiencing new things. There are a ton of things I find around the world that my hometown won't be able to offer.

But with that being said, I still love home and will always come back to it. There's just something about travelling that gets my excitement going and my adrenaline pumped. Hence, I created a list of places to travel to every year to keep me going.

Most of my friends and acquaintances, when they found out, find it odd, as they would rather much stay at home when there are public holidays and relax in nearby hotels or relax at home, while I want to go for adrenaline-boosting activities such as paragliding or talking with locals of different countries.

While you may find it odd, planning a yearly trip to places you haven't been to yet does have its benefits!

Travelling has tons of benefits, but what about going to places you've never travelled to? The answer is yes! Here are some of these benefits:

You get to open your eyes to new perspectives. The more you see, the better your understanding will be around the world. This enables you to become a better person who is able to open up to others.

You become more outgoing. Your social skills will improve the more you meet the locals and interact with other tourists. Travelling gives you new opportunities to improve on your social interaction skills, and you make new friends and networks along the way.

With travelling, you find out who you are as a person. You learn more about yourself when travelling more so than if you were simply at home or doing your usual routine.

Heard of Bragging Rights? This one is the ultimate

learn physical skills from the adventures you do, but also mental abilities such as thinking positively, social interaction, and the willingness to open yourself up to new opportunities.

Travelling opens you up to a whole new world, literally. You learn more when experiencing things firsthand rather than in an institution, where you are one with the local scene and its people.

Travelling challenges you to do better and get out of your usual routine. If you are stuck with your usual morning coffee and staring at the laptop screen, then it's time for change. And change for the better. You get this through travelling and seeing the world in a whole new perspective outside your phone or laptop.

While going for a trip to a foreign destination yearly is scary, it does give you a great perk - bragging rights! You'll be able to come home with the coolest stories that will envy others and encourage them to do what you did.

Outside your comfort zone

Travelling shows you that dreams can be accomplished and you will feel fulfilled once you get on that plane and take off. You're actually doing something outside your comfort zone and ready to experience new things! That's growing up.

You'll be surprised to see that travelling is actually easier than expected. All it takes is a bit of saving and the willingness to push yourself out there. Once you do, then you'll find that everything else will start to fit like a puzzle piece. Destination unknown? You'll be able to explore with pleasure so long as you get your butt up and get going!

Once you get home, not only will you feel more pumped and productive, but you'll also start to appreciate your hometown. After all, there's nothing like the feeling of arriving safely and plopping down your familiar bed after a great vacation.

Travelling holds a lot of benefits, and it isn't just the fact you'll be relaxing! This goes especially when you are going somewhere you aren't familiar with! Check out the best places you haven't visited yet and start planning your ultimate vacation. You'll definitely have the time of your life and thank yourself later with all the experiences you had when travelling.
