On Terengganu.............

There was this very famous kopitiam called Hai Peng in the town of Kemaman. I was like...... how famous could it be right? Especially since it was smacked in a small town inside Terengganu but...... boy was I in for a shock when we dropped in for a breakfast on 2nd October. It was so full of people that you basically have folks standing by tables waiting for people to finish their food!

Dad in law recommended its Nasi Padang, Charcoal Toasted Bread and good 'ol coffee served in traditional cup and saucer...... hmmm..... the taste lived up to its reputation..... it was truly a place worth visiting.

After breakfast, we ascended to Awana Kijal Golf & Beach Resort...... quite a nice place for family outings where they have nice landscapes and cycling tracks by the beach. You feel so relaxed just by strolling along the sandy beaches.......

We only spent about an hour at Awana Kijal, afterwhich we continued with our journey to Kuala Terengganu passing by Petronas town, traditional kampung houses and more sandy beaches.



The journey along the Terengganu roads were fun and brought us back to basics.... as there were no large shopping malls, no Starbucks and no Coffee Bean! In compensation, we get to see beautiful kampung houses, simple folks, simple food and simple life............ it was indeed a simple but enriching holiday!
