Vacation; part 1....

It has been a rejuvenating 1 week vacation with the kids and wifey. Tired but definitely well worth the time and money. Started the vacation on Monday morning 29/5; around 8.30ish; stop over at Karak; to taste a recommended “nasi lemak” stall beside the Karak bomba station; verdict of the place; so-so aje.

This is the first time I’m using the new east-coast highway; direct from KL to Kuantan. The road is good; scenery is good ; the only grudge that I have; ….with a carrier-box on top of your MPV; you can't go pass 120km/hr or else… you will feel like you’re in a dryer, turn on to the top speed of the spin cycle.

So after a so-called relaxing drive ; with the average speed of 100 km/hr; we arrived in Kemaman at about 12 noon. Kemaman; Terengganu; a place where they serve the best “Sata “ in the country. Where at? Right after the “pintu gerbang” welcoming you into Terengganu; about 500 meters; just before the mosque; turn right; going towards the beach; and at the end of the junction; take another right. You will definitely not miss the good “Sata” stall… the stall with a lot of cars parked beside it. Ahh… one more thing; it will only open its doors to the customers at 2pm. We were early; …..way too early; and still full from the “nasi lemak”; so we decided to move to Kuala Terengganu. Our first stop will be the “Sutera Beach Resort”; a resort situated in Merang. We’ve stayed at the resort 2 years ago; as a stop-over before going to Redang Island. We like it so much that we’ve decided to make it a point to stop there for a day before heading to other destinations.
