Batu Kuching Jungle Trekking, Pulau Lang Tengah

-
Batu Kuching trekking is where you are going to see sunset in Lang Tengah Island. Please take note that you have to start your journey by 5.30am!!! Yes, get your torchlight ready! I am not going for the sunrise unfortunately because it is really too far for me from Sari Pacifica Resort.
However, I will still guide you the walk to the Batu Kuching. First you have to walk through the lane which is next to their Beach Bar of Sari Pacifica Resort. 
And you will reached this deserted resort where no one else here even the workers. Not a surprise because the number of tourists in this island is really low. If you ever wonder why, the most fundamental thing on everyone's lips even the tour agency will tell their customers to go for Pulau Perhentian and Pulau Redang. If you ever asked them how about Pulau Lang Tengah, they will definitely answer you: "Nothing there." 
Look at this deserted beach. So beautiful! If you want to have something, definitely there is!
Well, since nobody treasure it...we will! We treated it as our private beach! Haha! Oh ya! If you do not know where to head, please follow the yellow arrow line which is sprayed on the rock to direct you to Batu Kuching.
This is the D'Coconut Lagoon Resort which is the largest and most popular resort in Lang Tengah Island among all other 2 resorts which are Summer Bay Resort and Sari Pacifica Resort. They have 2 swimming pools on 2 sides of the beach.
Even so, I do not find that they have more guests in their resort compare to other two resorts. However, this is the nearest resort to the Batu Kuching which is just less than 10 minutes away and this is the nearest resort to the turtle landing beach too!
I like one of the rocks here which is looks like a giant hand. Pretty amazing!
If you reached D'coconut Lagoon Resort and cannot find the yellow sprayed mark anymore, do asked the employees there. They are friendly enough to guide you to the entrance which bring you straight to the Batu Kuching.
Before reaching Batu Kuching, you will pass by this Turtle Beach. This is the beach where every year the turtles will land and lay their eggs. Unable to estimate the correct date so it is really depends on your luck. However, if you are travelling on the month of June, July and August to this island. Do try your luck! There are volunteers camping on this side of beach between May to October to protect the turtles from poachers.
Just a little hike more to reach Batu Kuching, not really high but it is very steep. Please watch your step especially you are travelling here at 5.30am!
Do not worry if you are going to be lost in the woods, just follow the yellow sprayed mark again which is located on the trees at your eyes level. During the day, you will see the blue color shadow beyond the trees which indicate that you are close. During the night, you will depend on the yellow mark only.

Here we are at Batu Kuching! This place is really stunningly beautiful!!! It is worth the effort! Actually not really much effort, just a little short climbing to do while others just playing by the beach as you can see. Haha!
Actually Batu Kuching is a cliff. One of the thing to do is standing on the edge facing the Pulau Redang at the opposite. This is really an awesome view!
Do not attempt to jump from this cliff, I got a feeling there are a lot of rocks down there. This cliff is at least 4 storeys high.
There is a small pond on it which I doubt the water is clean.
If you are signing up for a boat snorkelling at Batu Kuching, this is the snorkelling site. I do believe it is beautiful but too bad our resort is way too far from this location. I do not wish to have sticky and wet body to walk 30 minutes back.
The walk took us 30 minutes but if you are doing a lot of sight seeing and photography like us, the journey will take 1 hour. Too bad that I unable to present to you the sunset view from Batu Kuching here but I do believe this post does amazed you somehow. Hope you guys enjoyed it. 
Things to bring:
1) Torchlight for each person
2) Recommend a strapped sandals
3) Drinking water
4) Snorkelling equipment (if you planned to swim here)

 Total Damage: Free
Ambiance: 4/5
Freakout Level: 2/5
Recommended?: Yes
Location: Pulau Lang Tengah, Terengganu, Malaysia

What will people think first when we talk about Penang? Penang Hill? Batu Feringghi? Hard Rock Cafe? I doubt any of them come first but their local food! Penang famous with their local foods and that is the reason there are a lot of hawker center at Penang. One of them is at Jalan MacAlister. No name for this hawker center but the local good foods are concentrated here. A lot of hawker stall like this here. There are just too many to choose from.

Sports Shooting Club Hatyai (SSC)

Most of people think if you travel to Hatyai and not visiting their temples, you are just wasting your time at Hatyai. As for my personal opinion, if you come to Hatyai and did not go to Sports Shooting Club (SSC) Hatyai to experience the shooting experience with a real gun, I think you are not just wasting your time at Hatyai but you are wasting your time being a human. You only live once and there is no better way to understand these guns than coming over to SSC.   Their gun selections are enough to satisfy your urge. From rifle, pistols, revolvers to shotguns. You would be surprised that their rifle is the cheapest. The price is stated from 890 baht nett for a 15 rounds.  I have tried the rifle, beretta and this Smith and Wesson 4506 .45 ACP. This 45 is my favorite among all with 50m shooting range and 8+1 capacity. One of the most expensive gun to rent here. Basically you are shooting at the target paper like this. You can adjust the range of the target to your prefer

Champ's Bowling Centre, Sandakan

Not really much entertainment in Sandakan even though they are just beside the sea. No nice beach for water activities and the nearest island like Pulau Selingan and Turtle Island are about 90 minutes away. As for the town itself, basically is this bowling centre called Champ's which has a very nice and good condition bowling alley, bowling shoes and bowling bowls if to compare with bowling centres like in KL.  Not very big at all for their bowling centre which only has 12 lanes. Their shoes look so new! Here is a demonstration on how to bowl. Looks pro...I wonder how is the end result. So what do guys think? Is it a strike? They have a lounge here as well. And a cafe too! The price of the bowling is cost at RM4.80 per game per pax. We went at their most peak hours so their price basically has not much different than our KL City price. As for the bowling shoes is chargeable at RM2.00 per pax. FYI, the prices not inclusive government tax of 6%. Seriou

Merlion Park, Singapore

Driving in Singapore is really a pain especially the traffic congestion, parking hunting and speed cameras alert which is seems like everywhere. As for parking, weekdays parking is like vampire sucking all your money out from your wallet when the clock keeps ticking. Not just parking but their ERP toll is sucking the money out of your Autopass card too. However, I have realized that the best days to travel to Singapore is on weekends and especially on Sunday. ERP toll is free on Sundays. Parking rate are cheaper on Sundays and there are places are free parking too. Not much cars and peoples on the street on Sundays. Sunday is just perfect day at Singapore! Of course, if you plan to eat their buffets, Sunday will be not a suitable day as it will be super expensive. Anyway, today I just want to share one of the tourist attraction in Singapore which is the Merlion Park. I parked at Fullerton Hotel which has ample of parking spaces and it is only S$5.00/entry. The Fullerton Hotel is j

Kedai Makan Sek Me Choy, Salak Selatan

The first time I had my first black pepper Bak Kut Teh was at Sandakan. I never know there is one at Kuala Lumpur. I got to know it from Axian from his TV Programme, "Taste with Jason". The name of the restaurant is Kedai Makan Sek Me Choy. Even they have a space of three shop lots, their seats are still fully occupied. In the past, they were doing mining business. This is their old mining machine which they still keep it very well. Vegetable Rice @RM2.00 - You should try their vegetable which is very tasty. It is just cost RM1.00 more than their normal white rice. Black Pepper Bak Kut Teh Claypot @RM44.00 + Bean Curd @RM3.00 + YouTiao (small)@RM4.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is their signature dish which is catered for four. A very different from the common herbal type of Bak Kut Teh. You will taste a very rich black pepper fragrance in this soup. Very delicious. Yes, I have to admit it is a little spicy bu

Kedai Kopi Lotus, Kota Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu doesn't have huge hawker center like you will see in Peninsular Malaysia or Kuching but I have to reckon that the best hawker center in Kota Kinabalu is in Kedai Kopi Lotus. Kedai Kopi Lotus themselves do serve their own food which was very terrible and beyond edible state. So do not eat anything from this restaurant. You just pick the stalls beside this restaurant. There are 4 stalls which I will introduce one by one to you but the only stall which will not be introduced is the stall which is selling Guo Tie ( a kind of dumplings) -  not my favorite. The best and the most popular stall of all is this chicken wing stall. Everyone is there lining up for them either taking away or dining there. You may need to wait for 15-20 minutes for it. However, it will be definitely worthwhile. RM2.65/pc for this chicken wing. The reason it is taste so good is because of the perfect combination of the honey and the BBQ fragrance. They blend it so well inside the fresh and

Have you seen a food court which is as huge as this? They really have 101 stalls in there and that's why it is called Premier 101 Food Court. In Kuching, there are other 2 food courts running a similar style like this. It is very common here and it you to explore them.  Seafood Kuey Tiau @RM4.50 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - This kuey tiau is really must try! The "wok hei" is just perfect even though they ran out of oysters. My sister does not eat oysters anyway so it is perfect for her. So she had 80% of it and I am happy she did. Honey BBQ Chicken Wing @RM2.00/piece Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - Another must order food there. There are plenty of BBQ wing stalls, the tips is simple. Just find the stall has the most people order. Their chicken are quite meaty and I love the slight honey taste combined with the BBQ taste which roams in your mouth so well. Portuguese Grill

Everyone knows the famous Shihlin is a local night market a.k.a pasar malam at Taiwan. Approximately 4 years ago, Shihlin becomes a company and brought into Malaysia as the locals just love the foods from pasar malam. The main products are XXL Crispy Chicken, Oyster Mee Sua, Tempura, Sweet Plum Potato, Egg Crepe and Rice Box. The place for them to fry XXL Crispy Chicken, Tempura and Sweet Plum Potato. No individual table available. It is just a long table at the side which is same like Shihlin @Taiwan. My favourite is the Oyster Mee Sua @RM6.90 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 2/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - The combination is just perfect! However only four oyster in a bowl. I hope at least got eight! Wow! The oyster! Yummm!!! No wi-fi provided in this restaurant and the seat is quite limited. Drinks are limited to bottled soy bean and mineral water only. The franchise fee was once selling at RM50,000 when it was first introduced in Malaysia. Now they ha
