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

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...

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...

Image
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a most famous tourist spot in Lijiang. You are not consider being at Lijiang if you do not visit this snow mountain. That's what people says but I have different opinion, I will explain further so read on. To get to here: Take a bus at Yuhe Parking Lot near the northern gate of Lijiang Old Down. You can buy the ticket in Tourist Service Center at the northern end of Lanhua Street, opposite Tianyu Hotel. The bus leaves for the Snow Mountain at 8.30am and returns at 4.30pm; the bus fare costs CNY40 per person. Take a taxi / car/ mini-van or carpool together from the downtown area. The distance is around 15 kilometers (10 miles). It takes around 40 minutes. The round-trip charter rate is around CNY 200. Or sign up with a local tour agency at Lijiang Old Town just like I did for CNY400 per pax. Make sure it is not a "shopping tour" which is easily known when they offer you much lower price than I got here. The tour includes, hotel pick up...

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.

Jung Won Restoran Korea BBQ, Ampang

-
Image
I always wanted to make a visit at the famous Jung Won Restoran Korea BBQ but I never able to make it because of this restaurant is just next to Sayfol International School. During their lunch hour, it is really hard to get in here and even get a parking. I really sympathy with this restaurant because they will not able to get any customers during this hour. Unless they meet a persistent customers like us. I determine enough to introduce our local Korean cuisine to my friend from China.  This is the seating outside of the restaurant but I prefer to seat inside. They just renovated a small section of their restaurant. Their entrance looks nicer this time. This is the new design of their air-conditioned section. Tidier and more neat than before. They will cook the meat in their kitchen so no more live cooking to see in this restaurant anymore. The good part is you can leave this restaurant without any unwanted smell on your body. I got myself a private room. They on...

It is time for another Japanese cuisine post to please my reader's demand. The number of Japanese restaurant opened in Malaysia is quicker than the speed I post them here. I am not kidding. Anyway, I will bring you to Genji Japanese Restaurant which is located at PJ Hilton. I thought they should have same Japanese restaurant in all Hilton hotels for example like all Equatorial Hotel has Kampachi Japanese restaurant . So KL Hilton has Iketeru Japanese restaurant while right now where I am going to introduce to you is Genji Japanese restaurant which is at PJ Hilton. Shirley who is also a fan of Japanese cuisine was there with me to try the food quality there. Sashimi Moriawase (5 types) @RM190.00++ Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - Very expensive and too rigid with the choice which they already stick with which are Sake, Kampachi, Maguro, Ika and Butterfish. You can't change their fixed choices. I hate it. The fishes are fresh whic...

A lot of hidden good food in Kuchai Lama and one of them is Restoran Goon Wah. For the past 18 years, Restaurant Goon Wah has been delighting locals and foodies alike from its first outlet in Taman Kuchai Lama, with its unique menu, high quality produce and efficient service. Founded by husband and wife team, Mr and Mrs Lee, Restaurant Goon Wah specialises in making its famous XO Claypot Fish Head Noodles, prepared with fish imported from New Zealand. This delicacy, together with Goon Wah’s other delectable original dishes, is guaranteed to bring us unparalleled enjoyment and satisfaction. Established in 1997, Goon Wah has since grown to occupy three shop lots at its original site. Their other branches are at Damansara Jaya and Genting Highland. I was at their main branch which you can see it was already full house by 12.00pm. You are advised to come early to avoid disappointment and also hunting for a parking space. There were some tables are reserved which I believe they do acc...

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 ...
