Quick break

Went to Kuantan for a quick family break.

We used the new highway direct to Kuantan from Gombak. Took us slightly more than two hours to get there. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily, all the way until Gambang.

Managed to go to Teluk Cempedak albeit the rain, thus, no beach activity for the kid. We went to see wild monkeys at the adjacent forest instead. Kid was thrilled.

Later, we had dinner with wifey's friend at Anjung. Nothing special. Tomyam and stuffs. Usual suspect. Keat was right. Dinner in Kuantan are Thai-styled cooking, everywhere.

The next day, i went to play tennis while wifey went jalan2 with her friend.

I played two matches. Lost one, won one. I finished the 2nd match at almost noon when the sun was shining directly over my head. Panas giler. Wifey went to shop some fresh seafood at Tanjung Api, where the fisherman bring their daily produce to the shore. Tenggiri, Jenahak, Sotong, Udang, Lala etc were really really freash. Still slimey and no fishy smell at all. That's how fresh it was. Cant wait to get home to grill and steam them.

The discovery of the trip was when we had lunch before we left Kuantan. Authentic Kuantan food. It's a road side stall called "Mok Na". I will blog about it more once i get the pix.
