Walkabout!
After a long and much needed afternoon nap, we finally emerged from our hotel room at 7:30pm, ready to stretch our legs and find dinner.
Into the Night
We wandered along Jalan Chang Siang, then onto Jalan Pasdec, where the evening had just begun to come alive. Not far along, we stumbled upon Little Bentong Street—a small cluster of food stalls loosely arranged like a casual food court.
Dinner at “Stir Fried All Night Long”
We eventually ended up at Kedai Makanan Mee Heong and settled at a stall with a Mandarin menu, roughly translated as “Stir Fried All Night Long.” With a little help from the waitress, we ordered:
- Thick yellow noodles in seafood gravy
- Flat rice noodles with ginger and rice wine
- Coca Cola and a large Heineken
The total came to RM55.00 (≈ USD14 / EUR12)—a hearty, satisfying meal that hit just the right spot.
Walking It Off
After dinner, we continued north along Jalan Dato’ Poo Yew Choy, looping onto Jalan Wayang and back via Jalan Chui Yin.
Our plan? To end the night at Bentong Walk.
The Missing Finale
To our surprise—and disappointment—Bentong Walk was nowhere to be found. The expected buzz, lights, and crowd simply didn’t exist.
From what we’ve gathered, it was an initiative organised by a local political party, and once they lost the last general election, the whole thing was quietly discontinued. A shame really—it does say a lot about their long term commitment to the local community?
Still, we carried on.
A Sweet Detour
Walking south along Jalan Chui Yin, we picked up:
- A couple of youtiao (Chinese crullers) for RM1.20 each
- A mixed fruit cake and a dozen egg tarts for RM47.00 (≈ USD12 / EUR10)
Simple treats, but the perfect ending to the evening.
A Quiet Close
With snacks in hand, we made our way back.
It wasn’t the lively night we had imagined—but in its place, we found something just as good:
- A relaxed walk
- Good, honest food
- And a quiet evening that unfolded on its own terms
Sometimes, the best nights are the ones that don’t go according to plan. 🌙✨
