The Return to Kuantan

Referring back to the previous posts for the past 4 years, without fail in between April - June, there would be a blog entry about the trip to Kuantan.

To live up to my fellow readers expectation, i present to you, yet another post...
MY TRIP TO KUANTAN (version 2007)
Cheh! Why la always Kuantan??
Beh sien meh??
Every year also go nia... go la somewhere else!
Still not dark enough ah? Keep going there...
I would have expect all kinds of rebukes from my friends, but guess they are just ignorant this time around. Everyone just know that, I would end up in Kuantan every year without fail.

Same hotel, same beach, same atmosphere... It's sunny, windy, and still... to my utmost disappointment, no lui's

Ok enough of those nonsense....

The main reason, for me, to go Kuantan is no doubt the Malay food offered over there. It's not just cheap but freaking delicious! If you think that you have tasted a very good Nasi dagang in Selangor, think again! Kuantan is the Nasi Dagang's origin (just like Klang's Bak Kut Teh!) So if you like to give your taste buds a try, Kuantan mari mari mari!! Aside Nasi Dagang, there's Nasi Minyak, Nasi Kerabu (blue colour rice wan!) and of course Murtabak! But my all time favourite would still and always be Nasi Dagang!

Of course, relaxing on the beach is one of the must-do on my list for relaxation. Lay yourself on the beach under a shady coconut tree with a book... Ahhh.. that carefree feeling... What more would you ask for? After a good nap, you will be urged to run along the sands and lunge yourself into the not-so-clean-but-better-than-pantai-morib's-sea!!!!
In the end, you would be tanned, darker than before!! :)

And of course, some night time strolling on the beach with the family...
The night scene (using my camera, flash elek)

I always like the crab's patterns...artistic!

Crab's trails!

The lightning effects are actually the torchlights! :)

The other highlight in this trip is the ongoing fishing competition on the day we checked out our hotel rooms.
Check out the size of the fishing rods!!!
One of them managed to catch a mini shark!! As the action took place too fast, it's impossible to get a picture from it. Plus, the shark is literally mini! So there's no reason for the fisherman to be proud of! ><
And of course, camwhore sessions before we leave the hotel. But I would only post one of it! ^^

Me, Mum, Bro & Dai Sou!
With that, we leave Kuantan half-heartedly, 2kg heavier from the food, and few extra kg's extra load for the car to bear with from fish products and another Malay food called Sata. (How can I miss this??! It's fish paste wrapped in pandan leaves and smoked to perfection! The taste? Lovely!!)
I smell another Kuantan trip in 2008!
Crap! I've internship in that period!!! Nooo~~~~~
