Pulau Perhentian | Terengganu

Our family trip to Perhentian Island during hazy season in Malaysia last October.

We took AirAsia flight to Kota Bharu and then chartered a van to Kuala Besut jetty. It's nearer if you take flight to Kota Bharu instead of Kuala Terengganu because the distance to the jetty is shorter.

Our accomodation for these 3 days was in Arwana Perhentian Resort which is located in Perhentian Besar. My parents booked the hotel via Matta Fair last year therefore I didn't really know the price well, it might be around RM250/pax. The price was inclusive of 2-nights stay at the resort, one lunch, one dinner and one time snorkeling. 

The snorkeling area includes turtle and shark sighting as well. It was nice although some beach was full of tiny jellyfishes.

Ok malas nak tulis, sila lihat gambar.

Sekian.

Restoran Sri Molek | Hotel UiTM Dungun

Assalamualaikum dan Salam Hari Buruh semua~

Oleh sebab jarang update blog ni dek kerna jarang travel, nak update jugak la sikit pasal tempat makan. Hari tu, which was in March kalau tak silap, kami sekeluarga telah bermalam di Hotel UiTM Dungun. Maka, sebab kemalasan untuk keluar dinner, maka kami pun menjamu selera di restoran di hotel ini je. Restoran Sri Molek namanya. Molek tak?

Since sini kan hotel, jadi menu yang terdapat di sini terdiri daripada masakan tempatan dan juga Western. Terdapat juga kek2 dipamerkan jika anda bermulut manis. Sebab nampak menu Western, maka why not kita try je. Tak ramai pun kat restoran ni dan keadaan di sini sangat dingin hingga membuatkanku mengambil sweater dalam kereta.

Ini adalah antara menu yang kami cuba.

Kuetiau goreng

Mix grill. Portion yang mengenyangkan.

Grilled chicken. Sedap kuah dia ala2 teriyaki

Grilled fish. Pun sangat sedap dengan gravy yang creamy.

Makanan kat sini memang sedap! Sesuai dengan harganya. Bagi menu western, gravy yang berbeza antara hidangan membuatkannya lebih unik dan tak bosan. Sebab biasanya kalau pergi restoran western, mereka akan menggunakan gravy yang sama. Tapi ini lain, sangat fine dining. Hehe..

Ok, next time nak serbu restoran mana pulak? :)

Kedai Kopi Hai Peng | Kemaman

Assalamualaikum and salam ceria everybody!

Finally, I got the chance to go for a trip with my family member. Alhamdulillah. This time we chose Kuala Terengganu and Cherating as our destination.

During our journey to Terengganu, we dropped by a coffee shop namely Kedai Kopi Hai Peng. It was featured in Jalan-jalan Cari Makan too. So why not we try it?

It's located in Chukai, Kemaman. I'll put up the address later ok.

So we tried the famous toasted bun/bread with butter and kaya *roti bakar la senang cerita*. One set consisted of either 2 buns or 2 breads cost only RM1. Since we're here just for a quick bite, we're opt not to try other heavy dishes. So we ordered two sets of the breads.

For drinks, my dad tried the hot latte. It's a coffee with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder while my mom tried the classic coffee. Each cup cost around RM4 plus. For me, I had this fantastic cold ice blended Coco-Lava. It's an ice blended coffee with chocolate ice cream and whipped cream. It's definitely yummy! :) This drink cost RM7.30.

So that's all for now. Our JJCM journey will continue later of the day. Cheers!

Taman Tamadun Islam | Kuala Terengganu

Assalamualaikum wbt and have a good day readers!

It has been a while since I last write about travel. Lately have been busy with my job, preparing slides for presentation and so forth. I'm gonna write about my visit to Taman Tamadun Islam during my visit to Terengganu a few months ago.

Taman Tamadun Islam

Pulau Wan Man, Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, 21000, Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, 21000, Malaysia

Taman Tamadun Islam is located in Pulau Wan Man, not so far from Kuala Terengganu city centre. There's a lot of signboard which will direct you to Taman Tamadun Islam. Thus, it's not so difficult to find it. Taman Tamadun Islam is collectively comprised of several attractions such as Taman Monumen, Masjid Kristal and Convention Centre. Our main purpose to visit here was to visit the Taman Monumen. The entrance fee is RM15 for adult, RM8 for children and senior citizen.

The weather was burning like usual. It was very bright and walking to an open-spaced park under the hot sunlight is not very comfortable though. We had to rest in the air-conditioned building for a few times while roaming around the park. There's less tourists in the park because it was neither school holiday nor public holiday.

There are many mosque monuments here, all were built based on the real mosque around the world. First, I visited the National Mosque Kuala Lumpur miniature. The monument was quite nice and well done, but wasn't been took care of so well. Some parts were collapsed and dirt could be seen too alongside dried leaves. Some monuments even have plants growing on them.

National Mosque, Malaysia

nampak real tak?

Among the interesting monuments include Masjidil Haram, Masjid Nabawi, Masjid Sultan (Singapore), Taj Mahal, Dome of Rock, Masjid Sheikh Lutfallah (Iran) and many others. Visiting each of the mosque  monument definitely will be more interesting and relaxing if the weather was okay. I felt very happy seeing the mosque monument knowing that I had visited the real mosque myself.

After finishing the tour, we headed outside and dropped by the souvenir shops. I bought some souvenir pens, magnet and keychains. The price were extremely expensive for locals thus I couldn't afford to shop more. Then, we had a break at the nearby cafe. We eased ourselves with cold drinks and ABC. Slurrrppp~

Then, we walked again to take photo with the Crystal Mosque. It was very pretty and classy. We only took photo from afar because we had to rush back to Dungun to send my brother to UiTM.

Adios~
