Finally, manage to find some time off to do something I like.
First pit stop is my favourite bak kut teh store along E3 towards Mersing.
Still pack with people even on a weekday morning! I stayed in Legend Resort in Cherating for RM188/night with breakfast
The room
The Pool
Drive down to Chukai for my dinner and manage to park my car right in front of the restaurant ... just like in the movie :p
One of the well known dish in that restaurant.
Some other stuffs that we ordered
Total damaged RM120 ... kind of expensive
And this is the place where we had our dinner
And this is the place where we had our dinner
Verdict: Seem like the standard drop alot and we suspect that this place is getting popular and somehow with the price, its no longer worth the $$ anymore
The next day, we got up early to catch the sunrise
After the hearty hotel breakfast, we head out to Kuala Terenggang going by route T13 -> 124 -> E14 = BIG MISTAKE!!! Should have travel on Highway 3
Arrived around 1:30pm and saw most mosque are packed with people going there for their prayer. I was really amazed by the way they park their car, converting a 3 way lane into 2 way parking lot and some even park on the center road diverter! Drove around town and discover 90% of the shop are all closed and even the KFC and Pizza hut are closed till 3pm. Asked one of the shop owner where we can have our lunch and he directed us to this food center aka hawker center. N05 19.912' E103 08.012'

Ordered my wanton mee that come with chicken feet (which i dare not eat) at RM3! Very big potion but didnt manage to take any picture as I was too hungry then and totally forgot about it :p
After lunch, saw 'The Store' nearby and of course, we do what normal Singaporean will do ... SHOPPING!
When we came out from the store, discover that we are very near to the entrance of China Town N05 19.928' E103 07.957. It does look like the 70's Singapore and so we decided to take a walk down memory lane.
Found this friendly sweet little girl is selling nice soya bean milk, tau huay and peanut cookies just under the sign. CHEAP and GOOD!
First building that got our attention, the Chinese Temple. Without this, China Town will not be complete.
Stayed in the town till around 5pm and decided to head back to our resort. While on the way back (this time using Highway 3), we pass by this area selling rice cooked in bamboo. Ordered 2 bamboo stick with beef meat @ RM10.
Bamboo stick rice cooking ... smell really nice and the rice is soft and juicy too
When we arrived at Cherating, its about dinner time and we had our dinner along one of the roadside malay stall N04 10.983' E103 25.719'
We ordered Tom Yam (highly recommended!) Ikan Bakar (BBQ fish with chilies), mix veggy and fried chicken meat. (Lucky still manage to take some pix half way into dinner :p)
Verdict: The Tom Yam soup is a must when you visit this stall, the ingredient used is generous! The prawns used for both the tomyam and the mix veggy were fresh, the fish was juicy and its not very spicy, however, the fried chicken is abit too salty and dry. Total cost abt RM60 and to me, its super value for $$ =))
After the dinner, we took a walk at the beach and we found something walking...
Had our final breakfast in the hotel cafe

and caught some nice flower outside the cafe
After a short rest and off we go, heading back to Singapore. We made a pit stop in Endau for a quick lunch at one of the Kopitiam N02 39.200' E103 37.246' The fried kway tiao is a must try dish @ RM3.
After lunch, we decided to explore part of the small town

Dont think you can find these type of toilet in Singapore =p
After the short visit, we decided to move on and we made another stop in Mersing. The main reason why we stopover ... FOOD!! Lots and lots of it ...
Satar
Drum stick @ an unbelievable price of RM1.50!!
food and food and more food
Ok, I have to admit ... these picture are not clear, no color and there are no life in it ... reason is that I am using my K800i to take all these pix.
Maybe when I strick rich on the TOTO, i will invest more on a DSLR camera =p
For this trip, I am really surpise that there are so many things i yet to discover, maybe in future with more time, I will try to explore more into the eastern part of Malaysia
