FAMILY TRIP : CHERATING






I've been hearing about this place so many times, yet never have the opportunity to arrange a trip. Finally last month after carefully planning with family members , we're off to Cherating. Driving through Karak Highway (with a breakfast stop at Bentong) took about 3 hours.

Our chalet (I give a rate of 3 over 5) is about 5 minutes walk to the beach. The beach was OK (I rated pangkor higher) , really love the white sand which is really white. The kids really having fun and the weather is fantastic. We also had a seafood session at the famous tanjung lumpur ( the only setback is, we choose the wrong "kedai makan").

Overall it's not that bad. Probably the selection of chalet can be improvised duirng the next trip (if any ...)

TRIBUTE TO LOUIS

I'm dedicating this posting to Louis, my very good blogging friend and one of the frequent visitors to my blog. I'm really shock the receive the info from pak idrus that Louis has passed away. Louis is from Seattle, USA (the land of seatlle mariners where ichiro suzuki trade his skill in baseball). I was connected to him through pak idrus's blog. Since then we've been friends (through blogging).

I remember one very interesting post from him regarding a stray tiger roaming near his housing area. And it it in the news later that day. Also his trip to the Caribbean which is very interesting. Another a must posting by him is story on his grand-daughter.

I'm going to miss you and your visit to my blog my friend.

NASI ARAB @ SHAH ALAM












Another outing with my beloved family. This time we've decided to try arabic food. This place was suggested by my friend Fauzan, who's working with Madinah University (Shah Alam branch). And his suggestion is based from his Arab colleagues.

The location is not far from UNISEL in Shah Alam (it's in section 7...). The place is called D'ARAB CAFE and it's very famous among Shah Alam's folks. Overall I think it's not really bad ...the rice was fantastic (i think one of the best I've tasted) , but I prefer if the dishes is made a little bit spicy ...(probably lidah org melayu kot) ...Anyway another fantastic family outing and everybody is happy.

SOLO SHOOT : KLANG ....

THE FAMOUS RESTORAN BISMILLAH ..IT SERVE THE BEST MURTABAK

THE RAILWAY STATION


THE BRIDGE CONNECTING NEW TOWN TO OLD TOWN


LITTLE INDIA



THE SULTAN OF SELANGOR GALLERY




Klang is an old version of Kuala Lumpur (at least that's my opinion). It has everything from railway station to shopping complexes, from kopitiam to food emporium. The best way to experience this town offering is to spend a day walking around town in my case with my DSLR ...

It's amazing to capture hidden things about Klang just by walking around town for one day. There's this old building that I always thought just a plain empty building ...turn out it's a royal gallery for the Sultan of Selangor ....wowwww

Simply said ...Klang is an amazing BIG TOWN ....

SOLO SHOOT : CHONG KOK KOPITIAM

THE KOPITIAM


ROTI KAWIN AND HAILAM COFFEE ...PERFECTOOOO




PEKAT AND MELEKAT

Probably one of the famous kopitiam ...I mean the 'old school' version in Kelang. It's located not far from Kelang railway station. Like most of the kopitiam , the owner manage to preserve the original setup . Having breakfast ...hailam coffee and the roti 'kawin' ..it's like going back to the 50s ....PRICELESS ....
