This is the place where I really love to visit….
TERENGGANU DARUL IMAN….specifically
KUALA TERENGGANU (KT)…not because I came from Terengganu….or my family live there…but I love the beautiful…peaceful beach scenery…along the way to KT from Kuantan…The scenery that I couldn’t find anywhere else….heheh…
When you reach Kuala Terengganu, don’t forget to taste the delicious food such as “
NASI DAGANG = Special steamed rice + fish curry” and “
KEROPOK LEKOR = light fish snack”, together with
AIR GELAS BESAR or “jumbo” fresh fruit juice. The popular restaurant for nasi dagang is located near
Chendering, the building with peach color paint. My favourite keropok lekor stall is Keropok Lekor 007…nearby a place named “
Losong”. Not to forget the “jumbo” fresh fruit juice, you can enjoy it at
Seberang Thakir.
Let’s forget about the food for a moment…now let’s focus on the main attraction…here we are….Malaysian Batik…In KT, you can see many entrepreneurs involve in Batik business. Batik pattern has been used to produce not only fabrics…but also accessories and souveniour. You can buy special gifts for your love one at
Pasar Kedai Payang (Payang Market). I can spend the whole day there, to see the unique and creative work of our Batik designers. You can buy
Batik silk fabrics, scarfs, bags, home decoration, etc. The last time I went there was on November 2005, just before the musim tengkujuh started.
For accommodation, you can choose whether you want to stay near the beach… near the city centre. For those you want to spend their time at beach, I would suggest you to stay at
Primula Beach Resort, at Pantai Batu Buruk. For the shoppers, you can stay at
Grand Continental..or
Yen Tin Mid Town Hotel, which is located nearby the Pasar Payang….I wish I could go to KT again this coming May…hehehe…I want to buy some Batik silk to make my Baju Kurung.
