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.

Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room @The Gardens Mall

It is my day with my little princess, Ying Ying. She is getting cuter every single day. We had our own sweet time at Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room. This restaurant has been operating since 1921 and this is the first time after 92 years, they started to branch out their restaurant to Plaza 33 and Mid Valley. This restaurant has clinched Malaysia Book of Records award for the "Longest Operating Western Colonial - Themed Restaurant. Their first ever restaurant is at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.  It is not easy to sustain this long. They surely has their uniqueness in their menu to keep their customers happy. One of the reason is they are pork free restaurant. This easily encourage Malay citizens which stands more than 70% in Malaysia to enjoy western food in this restaurant. Mushroom Soup @RM10.90++ Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 2/5 - I have made my own mushroom soup before so I understand how it is made. It is made from chicken stock

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

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

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

Restoran Makanan Laut Lau Heong, Bandar Baru Sentul

This is my first time dining at Sentul and glad to know this great Chinese restaurant which is known as Restoran Makanan Laut Lau Heong. This is the crowd at 6.00pm on Sunday. Crazy right? Let you see from another angle. They just own one shop lot but seems like owning an extra 4 parking space but still they are people standing and waiting for their seat including me! Curry Fish Head @RM25.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is their signature. You can choose a normal fish meat or a fish head like this. The curry is not really spicy at all. It contains more coconut milk taste than the curry itself. The fragrance of the curry and the coconut milk work perfectly. I can smell it before it is served. The fish heads are soft, tender, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend to everyone to try. Ginger Squid and Prawn @RM18.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 4/5 - Hardly taste the ginger but what makes me

Trang An Boat Tour, Ninh Binh

-
Image
It’s known as the Ha Long Bay of the land. About 150 kilometers from the famous Vietnamese bay where hundreds of islands form a natural wonder is another equally as impressive landscape. This one, known as Trang An, is nowhere near the coast, though. The mountains are connected by rice paddies, not water. You can cycle to them, not sail. And – best of all – they are not full of foreign tourists. Such is the joy of a Trang An boat tour. Trang An Heritage Complex is a part of Ninh Binh province, it is about 100km away from Hanoi city center. If Halong holds an impressive and magnificent beauty, Trang An will be its best rival. Though smaller in size, you will be lost in a wonderland with the karst mountains, lush green forests, sparkling and crystal-clear river and the endless rice field running to the horizon. In general, the cost of entrance fees & boat trip of three routes is the same ( 200.000vnd/ person) on a shared- rowing boat (maximum 4 people/ 1 boat). You can ch

TWG Tea @Pavilion

That day my dream comes true when I finally able to have my tea time at TWG Tea with my two beloved ladies in my life. Yay! I always meet my Elayne jie whenever I am at KL. Sometimes I feel I am going to make her very bored already but I just love to find her even we do not have to talk a lot. Back to the topic, this is the menu of what you will see from the entrance. They do not just serve tea and bread only. They do serve western meal too but I prefer this place for a great tea time because of their exquisite outlook and comfortable seating. A tea book. Yes, you choose your desired tea from here. There are so many tea to choose from and you will get spoiled with choices. I took almost 15 minutes to choose my desire tea but in the end no result out of it. I had to get a waitress from Shezhuan, China with very fluent English to help me to decide. If you ever wonder what does TWG stands for, it stands for "The Wellness Group". It is established in 1837. If you ar
