Sup Ketam & Lala Cili




There were quite a few other items on the menu but these were the ones fortunate enough to be photographed. This was in the perennial Langkawi favourite, the Nelayan. The food is still good though the price seems to have increased a bit. Still one of the must visit destination though.

Miri



The weather was dark, cold and miserable when we were there. It rained the whole time. This is the view from the 16th Floor of Hotel Mega. Taxi ride is expensive, a 10 minute ride cost as much as RM20.
We were appeased by the fact that seafood at Tanjung Lobang is excellent and cheap. A menu of chili crab, butter prawns, asam pedas pari, grilled squid with madin and cangkok manis as the veggie plus white rice and drinks for four only costs RM80. We were so pleased that we repeated the dinner albeit with black pepper crab, prawn sambal, battered squid rings, sweet sour pomfret, madin and salted fish kailan with heaps of white rice plus drinks. Still costs us only RM84 after discount. Great place to go if ever you are in Miri. Errr, no time to take photos of the food... The after dinner massage was good too. Oopsss...

Nikon service - II


Finally got the camera back from the shops. The buttons above was the culprit. Perhaps by way of appeasing me they include a t-shirt (which is not my size), two calendars and two lanyards. Hmm, why not two t-shirts ? Am just being picky. Oh and they didn't put my camera strap back on properly. Anyway, thanks Nikon.

Wakaf Che Yeh - improved






New and improved popular night market in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Paved, no more muddy, slimy puddles of water that you have to tip toe around. Really comes alive after 2200 hours (10 pm) till the wee hours of the morning.

Tasik Kenyir


The houseboat from RM800.00 for 2 days/1 night. Can accommodate up to 12 person. Equipped with cooking facilities though you would have to bring in your own raw materials. They even have Astro onboard.

The chalet/resort if the thought of an "Anaconda" style adventure on the house boat seems too much to you.

The daily mode of transport between interesting points in and around the lake. Atrip from the main jetty to one of the fish farms costs RM60.00 and the boat will take up to 6 passengers.

Fish feeding at the fish farm.

The Tilapia.

The Patin.



Green, serene surroundings. Perfect break from any concrete jungle.
