Half Day Trip to Kelantan - From Cameron

Today is the second last day I'll be staying in Cameron. So sister promised to bring me to this place famous for its "Tin Kai" (frog) porridge. The place is called "Gua Musang". In fact, this place is located at Kelantan - A small town which takes you one hour plus journey from Cameron Highland.

So we started our jorney at 8am in the morning. By the time we reached there it was already 10am (Can you believe that we actually drove 2 hours for our breakfast?). Along the way, there are many road side stalls which sell rambutan and durian. All these are truely "Kampong fruits". They are cheap and yet, superb delicious. We ate 7 durians at a stall on the spot after our breakfsat, and guess what? It only costed us Rm15! It's just impossible to get such a price @ town! Even D24 durians are not comparable with this!

Besides eating durians, on our way back to Cameron, we also stopped by another road side stall which sells dragon fruits. Don't know what is dragon fruits? Look!

Again, it was all so CHEAP! Rm4/kg! (KL here sells it for rm8/kg).

Then after that we went to a hot spring nearby, ya really a hot spring, but too bad we cannot soak ourselve into the water as it's just so dirty. According to my brother in law, elephants would come here and shower at night. (dunno real or not 1...)

It's really famous to make "half-boiled egg" there. So we bought eggs and throw all into the hot water.

where elephants shower...

No matter how long u leave the egg in the water, it would still remain "half boiled". Cool huh?

Ya looks quite "disgusting", buthen, very nice leh! I'm sorry la just too lazy to type. I just uploaded these photos to share with you all. Wait for my next update bah. :)

1st day in Phuket

Woke up 5am early in the morning, we headed north from Cameron Highland until the Malaysia's border, which is Changlun. Our plan was, drive from Cameron to Changlun, then swtich to plane which flies directly to our destination from Hatyai International Airport. We booked 2 vans to take us from there to Thailand. All together we have 23 people (65% are kids) Our plane departs at 1515, so we had a lot of time touring around the city in Thailand but we didnt. Just happened to go to a very famous (hmm...) chicken rice shop to have our lunch. Airport is where we go after the delicious and yet cheap chicken rice. Seriously, this is a day which makes me damn bored! Arrived at the airport at about 11 something and waited till the departure time. A minute for me was like four seasons. This is my fourth time flying. I got so excited while waiting in the room, serious! And i worried that the plane would being attacked by terriorist somemore -.-"

My sister and me, while waiting for the departure...

view from the window...

Upon arrival, it was about 4pm. Everyone gets so tired. We checked in the apartment and prepared to go for our dinner. The apartment is owned by my brother inlaw's younger brother, so the renting fees is waived =D It is a 4 stars apartment. Normally a night here would cost you about RM350-400.

After we have taken our bath, my brother inlaw's brother (from now on i will call him as my uncle inlaw) assigned 2 vans and sent us to a kampung place to have our dinner. To be frank, if any of you think that you've tried the local flavor at Thai's restaurant, think again! None of the foreingner would know the existing of such a place unless you are a local. What can I say about the foods here? Hell and heaven! The spicy taste makes you yell like hell, on the other hand, the "syok-ness" would make you feel like heaven!

here is where we dine in

The appetizer was fruits with some unknown leaves. WHy do i say so? Those leaves are seen by us everywhere in Malaysia but in Thai they actually put it as a dish on the table!! I dare not to try it, however. Hehe... But according to one of the uncle, the taste was sweet and a bit sour. The 1st dish also fry leaves. ALso some uknown leaves! Damn stupid... but seriously the taste was fine. =) The rest of the dishes made everyone of us yelled SOS! Everybody's shirts got so wet because of the spicy tastes of the foods here! KFC hot and spicy? Try this and you will totally change ur mind.

the appetizer, which is fruits and some unknown leaves...

1st dish ---> "daun goreng"

The tomyam here which makes people feel like hell and heaven

after I've finished the soup... (Look what's left in the bowl)

steam fish with self-recipe sauce

Smoked saulted fish, never eat the skin of the fish!

meat is fresh and juicy! (look we all ignored the skin)

People who don't know about this salt smoked fish would have thought that the chief add too much salt mistakently. My uncle inlaw was a victim too! For the 1st time. So if any of you happen to try this, you will know what to do haha...

That's all for my 1st day in Phuket. There are still a lot of intertesting activities awaiting me. Stay tune and i will upload more and more gorgeous pictures! Wonder how I'm able to update my blog? Haha there's just a cyber cafe opposite my apartment, the charge is Rm6/hour. If possible I will update my blog every night. =)
