🌿 2D1N Kluang Adventure: Coffee, Murals & Mystery!
☕ Day 1: Heritage Bites & Art Hunt
7:30AM – Fueled up at Guang Fatt Handmade Wantan Mee (Layang-Layang). Their springy bamboo-pressed noodles stole the show, though the char siu was meh. The real MVP? Crispy yong tau foo!
9:00AM – Snack attack at Layang Food for RM2/pack homemade tapioca chips (pro tip: stock up for road trips!).
11:00AM – Instagram spree at Kluang’s mural alley (Jalan Dato Kaptain Ahmad). Floor 3D art + vintage shophouse backdrops = 📸 gold!
1:00PM – Lunch at Tangkak Beef Noodles. Soup version was decent, but we missed the dry-tossed style.
3:00PM – Ditched Zenxin Organic Park (RM18 entry? No thanks!) for Aw Pottery – their ceramic-decked toilet was weirdly aesthetic!
7:00PM – Checked into Simpang Renggam homestay, then feasted at Hock Lai Seafood. Chili crab = 🔥!
9:00PM – Ghostly GPS saga: Detoured into a pitch-black one-way road near MAXX Family KTV. Headlights flickered, phones glitched… Noped out fast! 👻
🌅 Day 2: Pineapples & Durian Drama
8:00AM – Bakut Soon Kee’s herbal bak kut teh warmed our souls (and made up for last night’s scare!).
10:00AM – Marveled at Simpang Renggam’s 41ft-tall pineapple mural (shoutout to local farmworkers!).
11:00AM – Rejected at pineapple plantation (tour groups only 😤).
12:00PM – GPS horror sequel: A dueling male/female voice guided us to Zhong Cheng Durian Farm. Ignored the “U-turn” lady, scored photos (but no durians – 3hr wait!).
2:00PM – Redeemed the trip at Kelapa Sawit Wall Art (Kulai). 3D murals > Penang’s!
4:00PM – Customs jam thanks to cigarette smugglers. Sigh.
💡 Practical tips
✔️ Bak Kut Teh is best early morning
✔️ Pineapple farm visits now require booking
✔️ Kulai murals > Penang murals in 2024
✔️ Must-eat: Kluang’s railway coffee, beef noodles, lei cha (Kulai)
✔️ Skip: Overpriced organic farms
✔️ Beware: Avoid checkpoints on weekends
✔️ Simpang Renggam: Eerie backroads + durian farm queues
✔️ Fun fact: Simpang Renggam = Malaysia’s “Pineapple City”!
Final Thought: What started as a day of disappointments turned into an unforgettable mix of art, spooky tech glitches, and delicious discoveries. Sometimes the unplanned moments make the best stories!
