Wat Machimmaram, Tumpat

-
After we have a "Standing Buddha", now we have a "Sitting Buddha" which is located at Wat Machimmaram. These temple locations can be clicked at the link by the end of every post which will direct you to Google Map for the exact location.
Great architecture and very colorful design.
Together with the Buddha is the right and left guardians. This is the right one.
This is the left guardian.
The No Evil Monkeys - Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil. To remind us to stay away from hearing any evil thoughts, see any evil things and speak any evil words so we shall sparred from evil.
They are over hundreds of such similar Buddha statue circling the whole temple.
If you watched "Journey to the West", you know who is this abbot.
This is not a display. This large gong is really working. Hit it and say your prayer.
Inside the temple has a lot of such big pictures on the wall.
They are all in 3D. Can you see?
This is a magnificent picture of a 3D art.
Previously are the pictures of heaven and now over here are the gruesome hell pictures. These pictures reminded me a quote that you might heard somewhere before, "We all want to go to Heaven but no one wants to die." A quote that is worth to ponder upon.
Every temple you will notice something that they will surely have which is a drum and a bell like this.
This location has been listed as a tourist site at Kelantan. Do pay a visit no matter what religion you are. They will not restrict you because of what you are.
Location: Jalan Kota Bharu - Pengkalan Kubor, Kampung Belukar, 16210 Tumpat, Kelantan, Malaysia

Champ's Bowling Centre, Sandakan

-
Image
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 ta...

Wind Cave a.k.a Gua Angin, Bau

Image
We love nature explorations but jungle trekking and mountain climbing are just too extensive activities especially to my little princess sister. She does not have the sporty physical to support her in such activities. So we decided to a non extensive nature exploration which is a cave exploration. There are 2 nearest caves to Kuching and so we headed to the first one which is called Wind Cave a.k.a Gua Angin which is located at Bau. Another cave is called Fairy Cave a.k.a Gua Pari-Pari . It is a 90 minutes drive from the Kuching City and she was nicely slept all the way leaving me alone driving and trying hard to look for the cave location. This supposed to be their main entrance but recently these place is sealed because of a landslide. Even though the entrance is sealed, we saw a nearby river stream which is so beautiful enough to capture our attention. Clean and clear water which is a good place for swimming and bathing. Outstanding landscape around it which will makes...

Have I ever blogged a vegetarian restaurant before? Yes, I did...from my hometown which is called  Restoran Gao Zhong . And this Yuet Sum Him Vegetarian Restaurant which located behind Shaw Parade Plaza will be second. I never like vegetarian restaurant not because they cannot fulfill my meat appetite but most of the vegetarian restaurants are just nothing but oil and flour. However, my sister and her mom convinced me to come to this restaurant to change my perception over vegetarian restaurant. Once again, I have to apologize which is my sister's mom has threw away the receipt so the name and the price shown may not be accurate. Spicy Assorted Mushroom Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - Very delicious spicy curry mushroom. It is a must order dish. A closer look on the delicious spicy mushroom.

Noor Arfa Craft Complex, Kuala Terengganu

Image
Noor Arfa Craft Complex (NACC) was once known as just Noor Arfa in 1980 with just RM1000 as initial capital. From a sole proprietor to partnership in 1982 and private limited company in 1991 called Noor Arfa Batek Sdn Bhd. In 2010, they change their domain again to Noor Arfa Holdings Sdn Bhd. I just cut short their wonderful long history but in the nutshell, this is one of the incredible home grown company that Malaysia should be proud of. Standing strong throughout these years delivering our best local product which is the batik. They even have school to teach enthusiast to master the skill in batik making and continue this traditional batik making process. This is one of the process in making drawing batik. First, you have to stretch the cloth real tight before you can start drawing with the hot wax on the cloth. This needs a lot of patience and precision. A slight mistake will ruin the whole thing. After that, this is the fun part which is coloring the batik. Once the ...

Restoran Yu Hing, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
By the appearance of it, Restoran Yu Hing definitely doesn't look appealing enough to become a tourist spot for you as your dining choice. However, I am still going to introduce to you their noodle. They do serve other variety of food but something worth to be here is only their noodle which is known as Beaufort Fried Noodle. Beaufort is a name of a town in Sabah. This is their very own local delicacies which you won't find it easily at any part of Malaysia or even Sabah. You have to be either in Kota Kinabalu or Beaufort to experience it. We can even hardly able to find a table in this run-down looking restaurant which already suggest that how good they are. Beaufort Fried Noodle @RM9.70 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - Still a common looking noodle to you which does not convince you why I am purposely creating a post just to introduce it? You have to come visit for yourself then. I think the same too when it is displayed right in f...
