Cherating Beach

-
There were once Cherating Beach becomes so famous because our government's effort of promoting this place. However, it does not work out as what the government wants because the mother nature has made Cherating as one of the wettest place in Malaysia with heavily rainfall all year round. Things got worst after the government shifted their attention to develop Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Lang Tengah and Pulau Redang. 
An island will never defeat a beach. People just loves to go to an island which they can ride a boat away from the mainland because the seawater is clearer and their sand is whiter at the island. Next thing will be the transportation, unless you drive...otherwise, you hardly can get a bus there. The nearest city is Kuantan but there is no flight to Kuantan except you take over-priced MAS Airline or Fireflyz which only flies from Subang Airport.
Cherating is just 45 minutes from Kuantan town but even people in Kuantan would prefer a 10 minutes drive to Teluk Cempedak rather than this beach. So you can expect a very quiet and peaceful beach at Cherating. This is a good place for people who does not like big crowds.
After the government highly promoted this area, a number of big names have put their footprints here which are the famous Club Med Cherating and follow by Cherating Bay Resort, Eastern Pavilion Cherating, Holiday Villa Cherating, Impiana Cherating, The Legend Resort Cherating and many more to list. These are all rated 4 stars and above hotels and resorts.
Cherating Beach is still a good place for a company trip, school trip and family trip. They need to improve their transportation options so that they can direct the foreigners to have easy access to this place.
Ambiance: 3/5
Cleanliness: 3/5:
Recommended?: Only will recommend to you if you willing to drive.
Location: Cherating, Kampung Cherating, 24000 Balok, Pahang, 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...

The famous Harrods from Brompton, London which has known as the 2nd largest upmarket department store in England comes to Malaysia to open a small branch in KLCC selling a lot of stuffs directly from England. Harrods founded by Charles Henry Harrod in 1824 from doing several of listed linen wholesale business to groceries and later becomes a retail operation selling machines, perfumes, medicine, fruit and vegetables. They have an extremely strict dress code which they will turned away patrons whom they feel they are not properly well dressed. They also did turn away soldier in uniform, scout troup, a woman with a mohawk hairstyle and even a 95kg woman. Luckily, it is not as strict as in the one at Malaysia. Now Harrods is owned by Qatar Foundation...yes...if you a Barcelona fan, you will notice this sponsor on their jersey. Large bear at your service. Along with it is my precious girls. Modern vintage windows which directly facing the KLCC fountain and their park. Wha...

Sitigun Cafe, Georgetown

-
Image
Sitigun Cafe is located at the junction between Jalan Nagor and Jalan Bawasah. Finding a parking here is a pain. Well, they do served great coffee so it is worth it. Croissant with smoked Salmon @RM16.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - Their croissant are really fresh as they baked daily. The soft and fresh croissant mix with smoke salmon is truly great. If the croissant itself has the rich buttery taste, that would be perfect for me. Flourless Chocolate Cake @RM12.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - Too plain for me and does not really amazed me. Not photos about their coffee but their signature is still their coffee. Do drop by just for a cup of their coffee because I saw them hand pick the coffee beans and roasted themselves. A very tedious process but brings out the best coffee taste to their customers. I like it! Another thing I like about this cafe is they have a seat facing the road. It ...

Bumbu Desa @KLCC

Image
All out of the sudden I feel like having an Indonesian Cuisine after my last one was at Ole-Ole Bali with my dearest sister and her mum. This time I am having it at Bumbu Desa which is located inside the highest floor of Suria KLCC. I am with my sister again for this Indonesian cuisine and together along with us is my girl who is out of action at that moment. She will be back in a while. Their serving method is slightly different than Ole-Ole Bali . They have ready cook all their dishes and displayed them in a line like a buffet style. BUT...it is not a buffet style. You may walk over to their dish spread to choose whichever food you wish to have and just let the waiter/waitress know about your choices. They will prepare for you as per your serving request. Meanwhile, please enjoy the other dishes they offer below. Avocado Juice @RM12.90 - One word for it...Yucks! Ole-ole Bali is way better than this. ES Cendol @RM8.90 - The shaved ice is ...

Merlion Park, Singapore

-
Image
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...

More than 50% of the tourists coming to Lombok just for diving. Do not need to debate to realize how beautiful is the marine life at Lombok where it is pincer by Alas Strait and Lombok Strait. Gili Islands is the most popular place for diving in Lombok. The dive sites available here are just too attractive and a lot. This is the dive boat that is used in Lombok. The amount of dive centers in just Gili Trawangan alone is outrageous. There will always a dive center just a stone throw away so you are truly pampered with the choices you have got here, Since there are so many dive centers, there are some information you should know to pick the right dive center to make a perfect holiday for yourself.

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...

Water Tubing @Sungai Geroh, Gopeng

Image
After Waterfall Abseiling adventure, now is Water Tubing Time! Wee~~~ It cost you only RM50.00/pax only which includes tea break. At first you will be taken to their lodging location . This place will be where you geared up and change your clothes later on. Oh yes, you will definitely wet from top to bottom. You can choose a single tube or a double tube if you are coming here with more than one person. This is the Sungai Geroh, fresh water from Cameron Highlands. Our starting point is at Riverbug Asia lodging area which will take at least 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete about 6 km riding with the tube. Basically you just sit on the tube and control it with your pedal to avoid 360 degrees turning. If you are expert, you can row with your hands like my instructor did. Looks easy but it is not especially when you cannot control your own tube. A double tube will be easier to navigate and the possibility for you to keep on making 360 degrees will be lesser. However, rid...
