My Short Visit To Kuantan!

On labour's day i took a holiday with both my parents and Baby Joey to Kuantan to visit my auntie there. It's been a while since i last remember going to Kuantan. If i am not mistaken, it has been like 10 years since i last went to Kuantan. It has definitely changed a lot.

We took a slow drive down to Kuantan, we left Klang about 12pm, and decided to stopover at Karak for lunch. There's this place my dad wanted to take us for porridge, not just any porridege, but Frog porridge. So eager to try, unfortunately, luck was not on our side. That particular shop is not open yet. so, we opt for something else and head on to Kuantan. We finally arrive at 4pm.

We rest for a while after the long drive, then we went out for a quick dinner. After that, we went over to the famous Telok Cempedak beach. Just want to take a look how the beach there looks like at night. Definitely crowded, many people bringing their whole family for an evening walk by the beach. I mean there is not much entertainment around there, i guess the beach is their best getaway at Beserah, Kuantan.

:) Joey screaming at me not to take her picture (This is the only time she refuse to have her picture taken)

The next day, we went to the mini zoo. Entrance fee is free, so we thought of taking Joey to see some animals. We understand there would be monkeys running around freely. I was really scared of the monkeys after my experience at Bali. Joey was kind of excited. Not with the animals, but the playground! Kids! She cried when we force her to leave the mini zoo.

To calm her down, we went to the telok Cempedak beach again. The sight there in the day is fantastic. It is what we would imagine a white sandy beach would look like. People are learning to wind surf and playing beach volleyballs. Can't help myself to take more pictures. The Giant rocks at the edge of the long strip of white sand really looks magnificent. wish i could go nearer and take some pictures, but we were in a hurry.

Nice rocks

Giant Rocks by the beach



We head straight to the market place and got some 'kau sai' literally translate as 'Dog Poo'. A Malay delicacy which is known as the 'Keropok Lekok'. Can't miss that when you go to Pahang or Terengganu.

The highlight of this trip is definitely about our little baby Joey, she just loves the camera and camwhoring. Isn't she cute :)
