Terengganu Day 5 – City at Night
Of all the times I’ve taken flights, this is the first time I’ve taken at night over a city. What a sight to behold! This was from KL to Singapore. I attempted to try take a photo of the night sky as well but the cabin was just too bright. I guess it’s gotta be…

Terengganu Day 4 – Shopping (Again)
A few other shopping places: 1. Bus Terminal Market A couple of streets away from the hotel is the bus terminal. Rather than town buses, these run interstate, and even with buses coming to and fro Singapore. The bus terminal has a small clean canteen of sorts on the ground floor and a dry market…

Terengganu Day 3 – Sate at Jabi
We went out of town, and en route back to Kuala Terengganu, we stopped by a sate / satay place at Jabi called Sate Lanang. The chicken satay is pretty decent. The beef was a bit tough, I’d recommend sticking to chicken if you have problems chewing. I tried this drink called Air Nira kelapa,…

Terengganu Day 2 – Pasar Payang
Ouch my feet. 3 hours of keropok (1st floor) and fabric (2nd floor) shopping. If you’re in Terengganu, a must item is the handpainted batik fabric, usually on silk or cotton. It can price from 30myr to over 200myr depending on the fabric. A tourist spot and well-known brand is Noor Arfa. Noor Arfa has…

Terengganu Day 1 – Dinner at Matahari
The food was quite nice. I especially enjoyed the lemon chicken and prawns. It was hard to restrain myself from dumping everything into my plate, seeing that it was one dish for maybe 10 of us.

Terengganu Day 1 – Tasik Kenyir
Tasik Kenyir (Kenyir Lake) is a gorgeous lake with many islets and forested area about the size of Singapore. There is a day tour to the lake, where you can take a boatride around the lake and do island hopping. If you want to stay over, there’s a boathouse concept lodging but require at least…

Terengganu Day 1 – Departure
Singapore seems to have an on and off direct flight relationship and this time around, it’s an off. So we had to go via KL instead. The cheapest options were Air Asia and Malaysia Airlines (MAS). Budget or full fledged airline? Definitely full-fledged is the way to go. MAS also has this scheme where one…

Terengganu Day 1
So the last trip was 8 years ago, back in 2009. It was a very rushed trip, on the bus 😦 This time round, I was determined to take the plane instead. So here’s to a better start!
