KUANTAN & KEMAMAN ROAD TRIP
July 5th, 2009 | 7 Comments
Things to do in Kuantan & Kemaman during school holidays:
1. Stumbled upon this road side durian stall before our accommodation is ready for check in. Have super nice durian though I’m not big fan of durian.
2. Drove 15 mins to Teluk Cempedak (the nearest beach to Kuantan town), soak under sun, dip your feet in the clear water, camwhore & doing the compulsory jump-shot thingy
3. After a tiring playtime by the beach, it’s time to continue makan. 5 mins walk from the beach, there’s this awesome curry laksa recommended by wikitravel. (Sorry lar, forgot what name)
Oh, excuse me – allow me to add, THEY SERVED THE BESTEST TEH-O-AIS I’VE EVER TRIED!!! we had like – 8 glasses of them??
4. Checked into a private run hotel, it’s a double story house converted to a place to stay. Privacy of a house, comfort and facilities of a hotel. wahlau, damn nice!
5. In the evening, continue the makan marathon by driving 1 hour to Kemaman. Have the famous Hai Peng coffee. How good it is? Hah! It is bloody-extremely-freaking-super duper-damn-f***king good!! I can’t describe how good it is in word, you just gotta go try it yourself. The coffee is damn good, the nasi dagang is awesome, the rotibakar is excellent, damn, even the french fries is freaking tasty!

Roti/ bun bakar with kaya and butter. Omg!
Even the french fries is damn good!
6. On the way back from Kemaman to Kuantan, you’ll pass by some pasar malam. Do stop over and have some durians, keropok lekor, fried chicken drumstick @ RM 1 per pc, cheap!
7. Just 15 mins after the pasar malam stop, you’ll see Pak Su Seafood Restaurant at the left of Jalan Berserah. Yeah, by this time, we were so full already but we just gotta try since they are famous for Stuffed Crab.
Dine by the seaside, lovely atmosphere
Fried sotong
Chili crabs
Stuffed crabs.
I dont like this. It’s like those frozen crab meat u get in super market and stuffed them back into to the “cover”. Yucks.
8. The plan was to have Satay Zul as supper but we could barely walk after dinner so off we go and sleep.
9. Then next morning, had breakfast, we went to the beach (again) the next morning, built sand castle but got destroyed by the waves shortly after that
10. Suppose to have begger’s chicken but they dont open for lunch. Then back to KL .
