Intan Beach Resort - Kuala Terengganu

Image
 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, t...

Resorts World Kijal - Kemaman, Terengganu

Image
Resort World Kijal (Formally known as Awana Kijal Golf, Beach & Spa Resort),  is located in Kemaman, Terengganu. We stayed in a deluxe room, comes with two double beds. Our room is facing the pool, golf and beach. The view from our room was really nice. The room comes with mini fridge, hair dryer, 2 complimentary bottles of mineral water, electronic safe, ceiling fan and fully air-conditioned room. No free wifi but you can have 24 hrs of internet access by paying RM25. The staff that checked us in was very unfriendly. In fact we were directed to the other end of our hotel room. Carrying our heavy luggage without any assistance, we have to walk and search for our rooms which took us almost 5 minutes from one end to the other end of the hotel rooms. Glad that finally we found our room! The door lock is the conventional type whereby you need to use a key instead of an access card. The room was clean and the bathroom was spacious. ...

Somewhere over the rainbow...

I was inside the car the other day and saw this beautiful rainbow spread across the sky. It reminds me of the song "Somewhere over the rainbow" sung by Connie Talbot...      Somewhere over the rainbow sung beautifully by Connie Talbot

Frog Porridge - Jalan Alor, Kuala Lumpur

Image
I just love this frog porridge located along Jalan Alor next to the Pattaya Thai Food Special. Just look for the frog porridge signboard, few hawker lots away from the Casa Nova Kafe. Some of you might be disgusted when I mentioned about frog porridge but it really taste good! The frog meat tasted exactly like the chicken meat. Eating the frog's leg is just like eating the mini version of the chicken drumstick. :) This hawker stall served plain porridge, frog porridge, spicy frog and onion ginger frog. My favourite is the combination of plain porridge and the spicy frog. The plain porridge comes with some spring onions and sesame oil. Whereas for the spicy frog, it comes with the thick brown gravy and it's superb!!! If you can't take spicy food (just like me) you can inform the staff to reduce the spiciness level. Mix the gravy with the plain porridge and eat it together with the frog's leg, hmmmn... simply delicious!
