NASI
Truly, love is delightful and pleasant food, supplying, as it

AYAM does, rest to the weary, strength to the weak, and joy to the

sorrowful. It in fact renders the yoke of truth easy and its

burden light. – Saint Bernard

MEE UDANG KING

After we check out from Jelawang Pipe Resort ,we were
brought to eat Mee Udang that can be translated into
Prawn Noodle. This restaurant placed not far from
Jelawang Pipe Resort. There were only two menus
there which were normal Mee Udang and Special Mee
Udang.

We ordered 8 normal Mee Udang as Sherina and Nurin
decided to share one since they cannot eat spicy food
whereas the lecturers decided to order 2 Special Mee
Udang and share. The Mee Udang was so good and
will definitely be on our list if we ever go to Dabong
next time. The only difference between Normal Mee
Udang and Special Mee Udang was the amount of
prawn given.

respondents were satisfied with safety dimensions provided. Furthermore, the
responsible party must constantly ensure that the train transportation
services is safe for users to utilize. For example ,need to improve the security
system at each station at night to prevent negative things from happening.
Finally, user safety is important and authorities must prioritize it in order to
prevent bad things from happening in the future

CONCLUSION

From this expedition we can learn that our public transportation is in a good
hand but there so many more that can be improved. People who using train
as their transportation from a place to another place are satisfy with the
service but we know that Malaysia can do better to chase other developed
country that has much better public transportation.
We also get to experience more than one type of public transportation by
ourselves but still do not know much about the facility because of lack of
exposure and are not aware of it.
So many people are using train to move but we believe less than 50% aware
on what to if there such emergency happen such as if the train catch on fire
and how to save themselves out from the train.
As Tourism management student we can learn more and improvise more
about our public transportation as transportation is the key of tourism
industry.
