It’s 11:50am, finally everyone is asleep. After a long day, it’s time to reflect a little.
I have always wanted to see the East Coast of Peninsula Malaysia, and here we are, finally here. We stayed at the Merang Suria Resort located at Tanjung Rhu Tapai, off the National Highway No. 1, brochure says 30 minutes to Kuala Terengganu, but we having gone there yet.
After we rested and went to see the beach at 6 something, we reached back to the hotel room and cleaned ourselves, it was already 8:30pm. I think the sun definitely set much later here. Having debated whether we should order in, eat at the coffee house or try to go out and look for a restaurant, we decided to go out.
We managed to find a 24 hour eating place. We ordered sup tulang for the adults and fried rice for the kids. We are always adverse to unclean eating places, we pick this restaurant (Restoran Desa Niaga) because it was packed. We sat near the only table which were Chinese eaters.
Arielle promptly fell asleep, while the other two girls hardly ate their fried rice. We are good sup tulang, ate the kids fried rice, polished off all the barley water—which came with raisins, pretty cool :), and ordered two more cup of carrot juice to down them all. All in all, RM29 bucks. Value for money. The place was clean enough, breezy, had TV running, at first it was local drama—which everyone enjoyed, until someone switched to the local Premier League match between Terengganu and Pahang. Being a local derby, and everyone supporting the home team, I guess we could really ask them to change back to the drama channel, could we now?
All in all, a memorable day. Nana lost her first tooth in the car, then had bad headache she slept for almost two hours, which got me really worried.
Arielle continue to be freaked out about having any sand on her shoes.
This trip was the first trip where the kids picked their own snacks for the journey, picked their own clothes, own shoes, and also help carry their own things to the car. So with this amount of help, we certainly could do more holidays!
More holidays to come hopefully…
In the meantime, a photo of the beach we are staying a couple of days…
