It has been ages I last visited Air Hitam. I used to pass Air Hitam on route to Sillypore from Batu Pahat. Now with North-South Highway, Air Hitam has lost much of its lusture as a rest-stop and pottery center for tourists in passing tour buses. 

 We made a brief stop Air Hitam to gas-up before hitting the B-roads to Mersing.

 

Stopping  to rest our buns 

  
Hate to admit, we got a bit lost in Kluang. We were trying to find the road to Mersing. Road signs were everywhere but they were a bit confusing.

We finally made our way out of Kluang to Kahang around late noon. The road to Kahang was quite bad as in badly designed. Although road surface was relatively smooth, it was covered with dust probably from lorries making road grip a bit poor. I almost lost my line when making a sharp bend with David following very closely behind.

 

  

Lost in Kluang ..

  

 

Again, near empty stomachs made us stop one more time. It didn’t take long to hunt down a coffee-shop in Kahang. We had wan-tan mee. I thought it was OK as I was used to Johor - style dry noodles. David thought other-wise. 

Afterall, Kahang is sleeply estate town with two rows of shop lots lining the main street. Probably impossible to find KL-taste noodle stalls to suite our dear friend.
