Kuantan Day Trip 18.04.11

In return of 2 working weekends, I’ve got a day of replacement leave and my boss instruction was, I need to clear it within the month. Coincidently, Chloe, my close friend was planning a business road trip to Kuantan, that’s the reason why I tagged along.

We started our journey at 6.45am, a raining morning, not a heavy one but drizzling. And the sun only come out when we were almost reaching.

Photos were being edited, enhance the beautiful and warm sunlight penetrate the cloud and shine on the earth. What a pleasant trip! Not too hot, not too gloomy.

We reached Chloe workplace around 9.30am, everything was in order at the workplace and supermom Chloe managed to finish her work by lunch, as planned. At first we wanted to eat banana rice for lunch (although we know after eating banana rice, driving back home without feeling sleepy is a big challenge for us), but, the restaurant has moved to another place, and nobody can tell us where it has moved to. Then, Chloe suggested a Chinese restaurant, again, the restaurant is closed on Monday. Because we were starving, so, to be safe, we decided to settle our lunch at Kemaman Kopitiam.

Cucuk sayur for sharing, nasi lemak for me and laksa for Chloe. Not a bad choice tho, I think the sambal and chicken are very nice!

Because it’s drizzling on and off when we were in town, so, we didn’t go to the beach, however, before leaving the town, we did shop a little for souvenir.

Anchovy, salted fish, fish/ prawn cracker and other dried seafood product are famous in Kuantan, so, we bought some back for family and friends.

On the way back, we also planned to stop by Bukit Tinggi to eat big prawn glass noodle. That’s the last mission we need to accomplish.

Although we were still half full, but we didn’t want to miss good food. We ordered a vege and the noodle, yum… love the noodle so much, fresh prawn, soup cooked with Chinese wine with a little taste of spicy, perfect combination. We even got free green apple as dessert too! (Very good for us to freshen up our full stomach)

P/s: we saw a couple sitting at a table opposite, they were watching the Hokkien show on TV while the wife was drinking Chivas and the husband was drinking beer, they truly know how to enjoy life!

The road trip wasn’t as long as I thought, or probably because we have so much to talk, gossip, share and laugh, we actually didn’t notice time flies! Thank Chloe for the invitation, I really enjoy the trip, if wasn’t because of the trip, we hardly got time to sit down, and share our lives like this…
