Motormouth … disciplined in Port Dickson?!
June 20, 2009 | 8,520 views PNB Ilham Resort @ Tanjung Tuan, Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan (Here’s their SITE)
Unabashedly, I’ll admit that it’s my first visit to Port Dickson. Yup, throughout the 70 years of my life. Bearing in mind the beach ain’t that worthy compared to cleaner ones out there, (or maybe, everywhere?) I did not even bother bringing a swim trunk nor any beachwear. For which I did not regret, as the low tide revealed all the ….. scums, litters, and dirt underneath the murky waters.
Which reminds me of the 2008 GE. Somewhat. =P


View atop Menara Ilham, the resort’s very own towering structure
The trail to the lighthouse on the hill at the tip of Tanjung Tuan/Cape Rachado
You can either choose to run up the tarred roads to the top, OR hike your way. But I was left with the easy way out (or up), as I was decked in mere slippers and shorts. =P
The posers. And the lighthouse, which was gated by the way.

The area around Cape Rachado – Popular with hikers, as well as bird-watchers. But the place closes at 7pm daily, hence do not push your luck! Free entrance, by the way.

Batter-fried Squids, Kam Heong La-La, Stir-fried Sweet Potato Leaves, and Kung Pou Mantis Prawns

Wow, you really travel a lot. Nice photos of the environment of the hotels. Going to Cameron next? Have a nice trip.

Ooh what about the Masak Lemak Cili Api?? I guess food can't be the main agenda ALL the time! And you can make up for it in Camerons! 😉
[Reply]

PD brings back plenty of memories for some of us, like the Golf Club, the awful seminars,the dirty beaches , bad mosquitoes in Blue Lagoon and the generally lack lustre restaurants/food , and the unripe durians !
We believe it is now ranked way below that what is called a Good Resort , like a kind of cheap squatter camp …though one of our acquaintances has a Bungalow there and goes there almost every weekend for R & R ,
which we thoz was errr quite tiresome
LOL !
[Reply]
That's all?? O.o
[Reply]
HAHAH, the resort looks quite nice, but as i've discovered, in msia, resorts actually look nicer in pics than real life almost inevitably. PD not that bad la, for us KL lites with no nearer alternative. at least in ipoh u have lumut, pangkor etc.
[Reply]
very hectic schedule, huh?? hope you enjoy in the highland.
[Reply]
The view from the top of the hill not spectacular? I find it awesome!
The steamed red snapper looks delicious but I always like my fish steamed : )
[Reply]
OMG the prawns looked heavenly… but drenching in FAT! Haha
[Reply]
The macaque there can be frightening but the view is worth it. So far the food is so so in PD.

jencooks : initially, we thought the baby bat was dead. but clearly, it wasnt.
550ml jar of faith : masak lemak oklah, spicier than the versions up north. no pics, as I did not carry my camera around much.
kevin chung : the resort was OK, beautifully designed to fit the motives. seafood was OK, not really expensive, given the tourist-y spot of Jln Pantai.
Suwei : none, as in comparison, even the beach in Teluk Batik was far better. but thankfully, our resort was nice, and not like the one you went last year. hehehe…
Wilson : yup, din bother snapping. but probably cz our stretch of the beach was not upkept.
email2me : aiyo, really?!
Cumi & Ciki : you probably should run. we strolled, and the mosquitoes were relentless!!! those not turd lah, I think. but damn huge beetle/roach thingie.
BSG : really … ? and I was expecting much more. hmmm …
jason : that's ALL. 🙂
FBB : true! I've been deceived countless times, resort/hotel-wise.
NKOTB : thanks, I did enjoy myself, it was relaxing.
foongpc : really? probably we were sweating buckets, and glistening from all the oils. hehe …
iamthewitch : FAT is small matter. taste is everything …. well, least not in every meal.
worldwindows : but they seemed dormant enough the other day.

Guess the beetle next to play dead bat can represent the joker! Dead too but alive !

Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m
thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer
but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips for rookie blog writers?
I’d certainly appreciate it.
