The Great East Coast Tour - Part I
This is my first trip to east coast, Kuantan. I have always wonder how unique and different the cities, towns and the kampungs as compared to the western side of Peninsular Malaysia.
That day’s weather was hazy - it slightly dampened my mood as I have always like the clear and blue skies.
Arrived Kuantan and had breakfast near Teluk Chempedak beach. We had curry mee for breakkie at this shop called Hoi Yin - it’s famous among locals.
The curry mee is halal by the way, I saw Malays eating there as well.
Of course, I tried to take group photos whenever possible - to make sure that I fully utilize my new wide lens. Hehe.
Wide moment #1
We did not have any itinerary for the day as our objective is to get to Sg Lembing. But then, it was still early so we called up the tour guide for places of interests. She wasn’t really helpful seeing that we struggled to find a place to visit but we can’t blame her entirely as her job was to make sure we really know the way to Sg Lembing later. She only recommended some famous food to us (more on this later).
Nevertheless, she recommended us to visit some fishing villages somewhere around Beserah but then we ended up at Swiss Garden Hotel which is also located at Beserah beach. To kill some time (and also to burn some calories), we lepak a bit there and also visited the beach. I really liked the beach as it’s clean and the water is clear. Something we definitely can’t see on the western side.
Wide moment #2
The beach was almost deserted (hotel guests were the only patrons) so we had the entire beach for ourselves..
Oh and did you notice that the haze has gone too? Yay! Probably the wise decision to head east when haze attacks.. 
Next up.. shark attack!
