PD Waterfront - Mac's & Kim's

It was a long time since we last went to Port Dickson. I remembered Port Dickson as a sleepy town, where tourists come to chill out and lead a slow-paced life. Indeed, it has been. But recently, this sleepy town seemed to have woken up. We went to PD Waterfront - which was supposed to be the hub of the city. I guessed we needed more than a second chance to get there, because directions leading to the place were not evident. However, once we made the correct turn, there were a range of facilities available, ranging from the hypermarts, to the restaurants and seaside dining to a new fun fair being set-up!
MacDonalds - it was ranked #2 in tripadvisor for a reason. With the restaurant facing the sea, it has revolutionised fast food dining. It has ample parking nearby and even provided drive-through as an alternative. Amongst all the restaurants nearby, it provided the best value-for-money dining option. As it can get really crowded and noisy, I would advise visitors to chill out at the 2nd floor. It's a SAFE option - you won't be over-charged and yet the quality of the burgers are maintained.

Kim's Seafood Palace - it wasn't our first choice to dine here, as it was ranked #9 (at our point of research). But it turned out fine. We wanted to find other 'higher-ranked' restaurants, but they (e.g. Weng Yin and Lucky King) remained elusive. Hence, my advice - 'Save the trouble to haunt other joints, Head to PD waterfront to find your joy!' Indeed there are several restaurants in PD Waterfron which you can also head to! For our seafront dining for 2, we paid about MYR 60. A must-try the salted-egg calamari, as it simply melts into your mouth! Besides calamari, all other seafood seemed to be priced attrociously high.
