The Dusun (3 days 2 nights), Berembun Forest Reserve, Negeri Sembilan
A resort built in a durian plantation in Negeri Sembilan, about an hour or so drive from Kuala Lumpur. There are 4 houses for rent, namely Berembun, Tembusu, Emas and Sora house and a swimming pool. They are currently building one more house and a bigger swimming pool. Priced RM250 – RM1100 per night varies from house to house and weekday/weekend. One thing to note is this place is not in GPS, basically have to drive further from a dead-end indicated in the GPS map.
Above are us preparing to start our road trip to The Dusun

There is a “curfew” for The Dusun for security reasons, i think 8pm, so make sure to come back before then else have to call the landlord to open the gate.
Making soya pudding
Making sweet potato which is bleh and not tasty enough
Recipe: Deep Fried Sweet Potato Balls
1st attempt: 230g orange sweet potato; 50g glutinuous flour; 50g rice flour; 60g sugar syrup; 30g water
2nd attempt: 500g golden yellow sweet potato; 100g rice flour, 150g sugar syrup; 30g water
Note: Sugar syrup made from boiling 1 packet of rock cane sugar(230g) with 460g water
1st attempt is slightly sticky and soft within, second attempt doesn’t tasted glutinuously sticky due to only rice flour was used and more sweet potato taste.
I really like Petaling Street deep fried sweet potato balls, will try to buy white coloured sweet potato and try again.
fried banana is not bad, very sweet and nice
