Day 4 - Kuantan

Breakfast at a Road side warong, had nasi lemak, roti canai and kopi ais. It was lousy.
Left JB in the morning and drove to Kuantan, estimated 4.5 hours but became 5 hours due to no Highway but all old roads, two lanes each direction, and single lanes in some places. Large trucks slowed down the pace a bit, but it was a great drive ; some stretches without any cars at all, some quick overtaking, and some places just cruising behind other cars who were also wanting to just cruise.
There were signs of elephant, tapir and monkeys crossing. Only saw monkeys by the roadside though, and there were lots of them. A bit disappointed when the drive came to an end. But the journey had to end as I reached Kuantan. The journey was through Mersing, Endau (port town kao kao) and Endau River which was massive, Rompin, Pekan then Kuantan.
Went to telok Cempedak, walked the beach stretch, then seafood dinner at Pak Su, ordered sotong petai, kangkung belacan, nestum prawn, and Tofu. For drink, sea coconut of course!
Had musang king and Kampung kahwen Durian after at Kak Na Durian. A bit more expensive but they picked nice fruits for me.
Checked into Swiss Belhotel Kuantan. Nice, clean and spacious room. Definitely recommend.
Bought royal stout and Guinness extra stout (local brewed) but too full to drink.
It was a good day.Read more
