Anniversary Trip to Sungai Lembing

We had always celebrated our 'Pak Tor' Anniversary instead of Wedding Anniversary. I prefer to celebrate both days. Why not since life is short?

Instead of having dinner and buying present, this year we decided that we should go somewhere as parent-holiday! Kill two birds with one stone.

Sungai Lembing had been in our travel list for a long long time. Since it is local and seems like a healthier options, it is the best place that we can go. Plus, this is the first time we will be away from our boy too, so staying 'closer' is a wiser option.

We took off our journey in the wee hours so that we could catch the best glimpse of Sg.Lembing and we are so glad that we did. Just look at the stunning 'Cloud of Sea'

Come down from the little tracking and head straight for breakfast at the local 'marketplace'.

Followed by a mandatory snap of the Signature Tree which is still standing strong and tall after so many years.

Another must drop-by makan place in Sg.Lembing for the famous roasted pork. Can still hear the 'crackling' sound when its being cut. Just look at that victorious face.

Of course the not to be missed 'Waterfall Tau Foo Fah'. I wonder if they really use water from the waterfall to make the dessert. You need to cross the hanging bridge to reach to the other side for this baby. No la, can drive there too, but crossing the hanging bridge seems more romantic la.

Follow the crowd and you will be there in no time. Seriously, this shop is full of people. Although we were just wandering around, we also cannot resist but to buy some local food (cos everyone seems to be fighting over who get first). Cannot lose to aunty/uncle.

For lunch time, we drop by randomly at some roadside stall (very limited choice there). Quite some special CCF here. cos every pieces are made fresh there. The aunty & uncle are super friendly and they even shared local stories with us. Apparently, people in Sg.Lembing is famous for the high life expectancy. You will see a lot of elder person here and their age will easily be 70 and above. 

Ps: Me being so environmentally friendly asked for this reusable plastic plate rather then the one-use polystyrene plate. Uncle happily agree to me when i tot i am bring too demanding.

The next day, we drove to Kuantan town to explore before checking out. Round and round and finally we found the beach. Had the most relaxing Mcd beside the beach. So warm and with occasional sea breeze blowing to our faces. I wish we have similar places like this nearer to our home.

The beach is rather clean but with lots of sand flies. Got bittern a few and we googled how to get rid of sand flies. The last option was to bring a penguin along because apparently sand flies prefer penguin than human. We laugh like crazy over this little information after imagining a poor penguin being surrounded by swarm of sand flies.

It's rather sweet and loving to be able to laugh together at the sillies things in life. Thanks for the trip. It was 'Romantic', Healthy and most importantly relaxing.

Happy 19th Anniversary my Love !
