I will be visiting the Tua Pek Kong Temple by walk,in hope to be able to find Kong Zi Temple and the Vegetarian restaurants which is also near by. This will be my 2nd visit to Tua Pek Kong,1st time was by cab,this time i wish to try walking there..hehehe...if lost,at most go to the nearest hotel to grab a taxi.

This trip,i shall try to further cut down on taxi reliance,even on ojek. Visit a few other Aquarium joints,step into Penuin area for the 1st time & most importantly have a better understanding the trail from Habour Bay to Nagoya Area,and a little of Penuin area.

There are few Aquarium joints that was mentioned in this thread years ago,but information of them are really too little for compilation. Here are the names :

1. New Flamingo,which was said to be behind centre point. (i think i pass by center point before,but still cannot remember the place)

2. Dynasti 1,which is suppose to be behind Goodway Hotel. But wonder if it still exist?

3. Fermina,also said to be near centre point.

4. Miyabi,i read it's near Goodway too?

5. New Berlian,also near Centre point.

Any others i missed which is near Formosa? Just wonder if the above joints still exist and if there are any latest reviews or updates on them. Once i know they exist,i shall go explore them or at least attempt to try to find out more about them.

There are other joints that are away from Formosa area which i shall explore at a later time,namely... Indah Permai,Bougaville,Harisona and Even,Maxim,Melody etc etc and i think there are much more...(still trying to find out)
