I am thinking of driving to either Sedili or Mersing on Sat for a half-nighter. Anyone else keen?

I'll be heading up if the weather is clear and all is well :) Think I'll take a few shots of the view from the bridge.
Hey, does anyone know where's the "famous" roti cenai place that was mentioned in the review?

Will be heading to Sedili this weekend with my P12.5.

To get to the prata place, head straight at the final traffic light cross junction (instead of turning left onto the bridge). The coffee shop is at the end of the road, to the left of the jetty.

Best wishes for clear skies to all of us going up to Johor this weekend! I'll be at Kahang with Robin and friends.

Acc, do put your Portaball on overdrive!

About the roti prata, immediately below is a photo which I took in March 2009 of the final traffic cross junction which Acc refers to. At this junction, if you turn left, you'll cross over the very long road bridge over the river and head towards Sedili Besar; if instead you go straight ahead to the end of the road, you'll arrive at the small community of Tanjong Sedili by the river's edge, which is where the coffee shop is. I'm not sure what time they stop serving the roti prata.

The other photo is of the coffee shop area in Tanjong Sedili. I wrote this photo essay in Japanese travel-ad style back then.
