Kuantan, Malaysia
8th June to 11th June 2006

View from our room at the Hyatt Kuantan. Rained a little in the afternoons other than that ...great weather. Don't get caught out on the beach when there's sand blowing up...result is Ouch!!



Places to eat...
Pak Su for dinner. The baked crab is suppose to be famous there.
Another dinner place is Alor Akar Seafood Restaurant on Kubang Buaya Road. (I hope the restaurant people don't see this...) It is cheap!! Good food and cheap.






For breakfast...Kemaman Kopitiam recommended by a friend from Kuantan. Good food. Try the Nasi Dagang; glutonous rice wrapped in banana leaf with a fish based gravy.
Be prepared though...IT IS EXPANSIVE place. It is probably Subang, KL prices if not more. I think Uncle Lim is not even as dear. For local food...oklah to try.

28th May to 1st June 2006

There for work so nothing much to report in terms of good food and places to see. Spent most of my time in this building





Beautiful spring/winter day.

Place to stay : Pacific International on Exhibition - Clean and spacious. Good place if you have 3 to 4 people. 2 bedrooms, living room and a kitchen area equipped with cooking utensils etc.. Apt has washing machine as well.

Place to eat...opposite the Melbourne Exbition Centre there is a food court with all kinds of Malaysian food! Not great but closest to the real thing this far away from home. There is a vietnamese restaurant : Mekong serving Pho (Beef noodle!) Not bad!
