Seafood dinner at Kukup Fishing Village, Johor.

We having our dinner at the first Seafood Restaurant (N1.32552 E103.44256) on the right after the Kukup Jetty (forgive me that I forgot the name of the restaurant). We were there quite early in the evening, just because of want to enjoy the view of Kukup before the dinner...

Kukup Jetty

It was cool and relaxing evening, too bad that day was cloudy and I didn't expect the nice sunset over there...

The Seafood Restaurant next to the Kukup Jetty

Once getting dark...we started to order our foods...

*  Mixed vegetables

*  Kangkong belacan

*  Steam fish

*  Hotplate taufu

*  Steam salted crabs

The foods served on our table pretty fast...

Mixed vegetables

Kangkong Belacan

Steam fish

Steamed salted crabs

We all enjoyed the dinner Very much! Especially in the nice environment! The foods were Delicious especially the seafoods were Fresh! I like the Salted crabs very much!



If my memory serve me well, the Damage was about RM140.00 for 4 adults and 2 kids included drinks. It's always reasonable price when you have seafood at Kukup, that is one of the main reason the small fishing village attract so many tourists and seafood lovers everyday...



We had a walk at the Fishing Village after the dinner until almost midnight, and back to the Kukup Golf Resort with few bottles of beers...:)

My Look for Maison Martin Margiela Show

Maison Martin Margiela is another one on my A list designers. Although he has already retired, his design team has been doing a excellent job keeping the spirit of the house. Attending MMMargiela show for the first time was like a dream come true. I was so excited for it and enjoyed every moment of it.

Here is what I wore for the show: MMMargiela two tones nude/gray bodysuit (similar here), skirt (similar here), and necklace. Pairing with Rick Owens jacket, my 1 year old nude Christian Louboutin Lady Daf platform Mary Jane pumps, and bracelet was a local Paris flea market find.

Thank you everyone for reading!! Have a wonderful day ahead!! xo...Hanh :)

My Look for Rick Owens Show

Attending the Rick Owens show was like a dream come true. You know, he is on my A list of designers. The show was amazing and I enjoyed every moment of it.

The things I love about his design are his versatility and always being very edgy. With different pairings, you can make the same piece look casual, edgy, and "wild girl" while you also can make it look more dressier, more glamours, and yet you can't escape from his edginess. The dress below is an example. The dress is actually a casual one that you could wear on a summer day: sandals, flip flops...or you could pair it with fabulous heels, a leather jacket, or throw in a fur for a cold winter's day and show off your glamours side.

I only wish these pics could have been taken in Paris! However, I had fun to be in front of my husband's camera for this shoot in North Dallas.

Wearing this outfit for his show: The dress, the fur vest are his designs. Pairing with NhaKhanh thumb hole mesh top, McQueen clutch and boots.

Around Paris

Paris is a city of lights, arts, fashion, architecture, history, design, shopping, partying, fine cuisine and luxury. Paris is the utmost definition of chic. There are so many things to do in Paris that even the most sophisticated and informed Parisian still discovers hidden treasures of this city day after day. I've never tired of Paris.

I love walking around Paris for sightseeing, for shopping, for watching people on the street, for spotting celebrities, for admiring beautiful buildings, for enjoying the city, for burning calories, or for nothing...for any reason-walking around Paris is just so wonderful.

Everyone should know this corner by heart; Rue St.Honore and Rue Cambon, if you'd like to visit the first Chanel boutique.

Chanel's first boutique is on 31 Rue Cambon.

In Europe, you've often seen old couples very well-dressed, hand in hand and walking along on the street. It's so lovely and sweet! It makes me feel warm and happy.

Another view from my room; the Louvre.

Beautiful walkway to the Rick Owens boutique.

Thank you everyone for reading! Have a lovely weekend!!xo...Hanh :)

Kate Lanphear at Le Meurice. I had a chance to have a little chat with Kate, she seems very sweet.

Kukup Golf Resort at Kukup, Johor

Kukup Golf Resort (N1.36964 E103.44343) is located along the road to Kukup. It's approximately 13KM from the intersection of Pontian town. We visited the Resort for the 2 days 1 night getaway on weekend.



I like the resort environment very much! Our unit is located in some sort of nice garden! (photos below...)

We were on "113"...

The Green area we passed by...

The area was nice and clean! There are many units of chalets over there and we took the Family Suite with 2 bedrooms...

Chalet No : 113 - The Family Suite

There was a BBQ pit in front of our unit and I believe we can use it for BBQ dinner if we wanted to...

Once we stepped into the chalet, another suprised! The unit consisted of a living hall, a mini kitchen and 2 bedrooms with bathroom attached.

(The management do provide the buggy service FOC from the chalet to the clubhouse, just a phone call)

The Living Hall

I like the antique table very much!

The mini kitchen is located after the small wooden door just next to the living hall, and the bedrooms were on the both side...

The kitchen is behind the wooden door (right) and one of the bedroom on the left...

There was a small fridge, electric kettle and cups in the kitchen.

Kitchen

Both bedrooms come with different beds configuration, one with the King Size bed and the other was with 1 queen and 1 single bed. Both rooms have a ordinary television and air-conditional. We chose the queen and single bed room...

The management also provided another extra bed for us in one of the room...because we had total of 6 persons...:)

The King size bedroom

The room with 1 queen and 1 single bed

And the attached bathroom...

Water heater provided

The bathroom looks a bit run down due to the stains on the tiles...but anyway, it was ok for us. After we put everythings in the chalet, we started to walk around the Resort...the next surprised was...the swimming pool! Look at that! It's Huge and Beautiful!

Nice landscape swimming pool at Kukup Golf Resort, Johor.

There were another Olympic standard pool just about 30 meter away from the pool above. The children love the swimming pool very much and they spend almost the whole afternoon in it...



It's a really nice place to relax in the calm and quiet environment...and we rated this resort as one of the Best resort for weekend getaway! If you are golfer, you can even enjoy the 18 holes golf course in the resort.



I noticed there was a Karaoke pub and a Gym center had closed down...maybe due to no demand...



The Family Suite cost RM323.70 per day after the taxes on peak season. It's comfortable and reasonable!



We had a rest after the swimming session and heading towards Kukup town (merely about 7KM away from the resort) for our Seafood Dinner! :)
