158 Hong Ba Pandamaran

On Thursday 10.april.2025, I woke up early at 6 am because we wanted to go eat bak kut teh at the famous Seng Huat bridge bkt at Jln Besar 37 km. After booking grab at 7 am, he searched further and found out that it is closed on Thursday so while in the grab car, he confirmed with the grab car owner that it is ok to change to Pandamaran 42 km. We planned to take KTM train back to KL.

After Hong Ba, we grab to Regent Pandan Layer Cake shop near ktm station because I want to buy the pandan layers cake.
