Intan Beach Resort - Kuala Terengganu

-

Intan Beach Resort is located at Batu Buruk, Kuala Terengganu. Pantai Batu Buruk (beach of the ugly stone) is just right in front of the resort. A popular place with local people for strolling and kite flying. However swimming is dangerous due to the strong waves.

When we reached Intan Beach Resort it was almost 5pm. We checked in our luggage, took a quick shower and drove our way to Chinatown, just a short distance away from the resort to have our dinner. Varieties food stalls can be found at Batu Buruk but we do not have the time to explore that area.
 
We stayed in a standard room comes with attached bathroom, cold & hot shower, 29" colour TV with selected Astro Channels, jug kettle, free parking, free wireless internet, ceiling fan and fully air-conditioned room. There is a water dispenser at the resort lobby for you to refill your water. The room was very basic. It was clean and the water pressure was good. However, the free wireless internet doesn't work and the bathroom towel hooks were rusted.

We were lucky as our room comes with a private balcony overseeing the beach. You can even watch the sunrise from the private balcony. It was a short stay at Pantai Batu Buruk because we were aiming to take the first ferry to Redang Island the next day...

(Room rate - RM95 excluding breakfast)

Jollibee is a Filipino multinational chain of fast food restaurants. On the day of arrival, we asked our friendly Grab driver what is the must-try food in Philippines and he mentioned Jollibee. So here we at Jollibee located inside Landmark Department Store just 4 minutes (250m) walking distance from  New World Makati Hotel . We ordered 2 pieces of chicken served with rice and drink. Rice is soft. Fried chicken is crispy, flavourful and tender. It comes together with a brown gravy which taste like KFC mashed potatoes gravy. Overall it's good.
