20 February 2010

Then next day (20 February) we wake up for a simple breakfast at the local malay stall. Cherating is a simple malay village so don’t expect too much unless you stay at Club-Med. Then we drove again to Turtle Sanctuary which offer exposure for turtle breeding and turtle preservation. Another must go. Then we proceed for Kemaman for a simple coffee and bread. It called Hai Peng Kopitiam. They served Vietnam coffee and best bread with Kaya and butter.

Then we proceed to next place the Mesra Mall at Kertih, Terengganu where we spend simple stop. Then we drove back to Cherating and stop for a break at Pantai Kemasik which had beautiful beach but cannot swim.

Subsequently, we continue to Cherating but stop again the yesterday shop for food (Otak, Satar and etc). Today we had a delicacy called Nasi Air (Water Rice) which is like something between a porridge and rice. Salty but nice because it increase your appetite. Then go again for our sun-bathing at cherating till 7pm. What a slow and relax life. Dinner this day is at a Chinese restaurant where we had seafood (price here is cheap, so don’t miss this opportunity). Then we proceed to the second pub in cherating for the night thus the Payung Café (Beside Payung guesthouse). Again, we had beer (because here rarely served liquor unless you bring your own) and this pub is more of the type of reggae. The kids of the owner are friendly and try to speak to them, there English is good. Before went to bed, we go for shopping at the stalls along the cherating town for souvenirs. Try to bargain for the price and try the T-shirt, they had good design.
