Toilet break at rest stop
Traffic jam as seen from the road-side rest stop
Left on Friday afternoon after lunch. Took my Civic this time. Though it would be a smooth drive. That's where theory and actual fact shoot off in opposite directions....
These past few days, I have been caught up in more traffic jams than I can remember. On the PLUS highway North of KL right up to Penang, they were upgrading the roads, with the final intention being to widen them. Unfortunately, they had to close the two lane highway to a single lane in order to do this. At many points, my speed was a constant "0 kph".

That was in the afternoon, through to the evening, right through to night time!
It's dark, but still inching my way to Penang (still stuck in traffic jam!)
Record-breaking speed (break record for patience while driving)

Though we called ahead and told my sister-in-law and family to go ahead and eat dinner already, they still insisted to wait for us. So eventually, we arrived at our destination (Juru Autocity) at 9.00pm. That's 7 hours from departure time.
For dinner that night, we went to a Korean restaurant, which I don't frequent that often. Food was quite spicy, practically every dish contained chilly as an ingredient.
Ah, now I see - Tar Chang Jin Korean Restaurant. Much clearer now....
Hot plate chicken meat (they help you to cook and serve)
Spicy food served with tea
Stone(?) rice (I think that's what they call it)
Another hot and spicy dish

If you cannot take spicy food, then you'd better pass on this one....
After a filling dinner, we walked around for awhile before heading back to my sister-in-law's place. Had better get some sleep, as I plan to get a head start to my supplier's office the next morning....
