East Coast trip

It has been a while since my last posting. Partly because the urge of journaling is waning. Nevertheless, will try to share as much life journey as possible while still able to. As the past week was school mid-term break, we took a short trip to the east coast. After all, we haven't been there for ages. It was a last minute plan as well. The plan was to stay the first night in Chukai and the second night in Cherating. On the first day of traveling, we made a last minute plan to have a brief stopover in Bentong. Goodness, there was heavy traffic towards the Gombak toll on Karak highway. Took us about half an hour to get through it.

When we arrived in Bentong, we quickly went for the recommended wanton noodle stall. Unfortunately, it was closed on Sunday. So we switched to famous Bentong ice cream before settled down with a good meal in nearby hawker stall which just by the river.

We continues our journey and reached Chukai, Kemaman before 5pm. After done our hotel check-in, we went to the nearby beach - Pantai Teluk Mak Nik (Monica Bay). Surprisingly, the beach was very decent. We came back again the next morning for the sunrise too. Dinner was the famous stuffed crab restaurant in Chukai.

The next day, we had our breakfast in Hai Peng cafe, another famous cafe in that town, to sample some of the local foods. Packed nasi dagang was good. Then we did our beach hopping - Kijal, Kemasek and Cherating. Although we had been to Cherating many years ago, this time we got to explore even further. Our dinner was at the local restaurant in Cherating beach. Overall, beach hopping was fun. Maybe will do it again in the near future.
