Kuantan-Kerabu KANGKUNG -Tg Agas, Pekan dan Ikan Patin

 

I was in Kuantan  for a conference.

err....conference means work, meeting new friends in the same field of work, and food!

 my friend and i, were drive from bangi , and terseksa jugaklah jiwa raga bila kau berkereta dengan seorang peminat K Pop tegar. if lah lagu korea tersebut dijadikan translation ala-ala macam belajar bahasa korea, i'm sure by the time we reached Kuantan, aku dah fasih bahasa korea gamaknya.

pasrah je lah kan, since she agree to stop by at Temerloh R&R to have nice ikan patin lunch. yummeh!

We were so hungry as we trapped in jam, lori terbalik just after Bentong.

we stay at Bukit Gambang Resort City which was started with horrible experience with their staff.

 ok..we got our room, and with the price we paid, its not worth. and with other bad experience, we definitely wont come back. aku banned hotel ni.

 

the conference has started with conference dinner, perasmian etc.

 nyanyi-nyangi..menari-menari...we had fun. seronok lah kan.hihihi....

 

 dinner was nice, food ok and we met new friends..and they are all women engineer in various field of work.

saira and i

  

 eh..ha-ha. i met my readers here. malu -malu kucing ok, bila derang tegur, u ada blog ke?  yes....?

and she said " ha..betul la...patut macam kenal". kih..malu mak.

u ols, mak lupa nama u ols (i dah kertu) , hi..nice meeting you. err..please leave comment , i really forgot ur name. sempat amik gambar. hi u ols. how are you?

Habis 1st day..hehehe..we went to the water park. omg..we rent a tube ! siap naik benda gelongsor tuh. sekali je aku naik ok..ketakutannnnnnnnnnnnn!

kesian si saira yg excited nak naik tube dan menggelongsor ..tapi  no thank you. sekali cukup. and we end up main-main air je di pantai buatan itu.kihkihkih,.

 zenith lounge, tengok bola

ok...selepas bekerja, we should reward ourselves with good food .

dinner at chicken rice shop

eh...malam ni Malaysia lawan Indonesia final sukan sea kan??

macam tak best nak tengok dalam bilik. so we were so kegigihan drive ke Kuantan, konon nya nak pi kedai mamak barulah meriah nak tgk bola. apa kelass aku nak tgk tv berdua je dgn kawan aku kan.

I called a friend, asking for any meriah kedai mamakin Kuantan town, and he said adalah satu kedai tuh, but we have no clue di manakah ia. so we dicided to have dinner at east coast Mall depan Zenith Hotel, and after dinner we proceed to Zenith lounge to watch the match. wah penting sgt kan..macam racing oke dari Gambang pergi Kuantan nak tgk bola kat TV ...kekekkeke. dah la jalan gelap u ols.

 semangat oke pakai baju kuning..kihkih...

teh tarik sedap !!!!

 takdelah meriah macam stadium or kedai mamak, but u know, when comes to bola dgn org tak kenal pun kita boleh join jerit sama-sama...

 

meraikan kemenangan..kih

ok,...esoknya conference continued for second day. 

then ptg kami pindah hotel. duk zenith. 

 lunch with our new friend, petronas engineer. Thanks for the treat. i doakan murah rezeki u. dia based di kerteh, we hope to meet again.

I fetched makcik kantin at her house (dia keje half day oke, sambut aku datang).We planned to get some fresh seafood at jeti Tanjung Agas,nak  main masak-masak kat tempat makcik kantin, but unfortunately, this is raining season. and pagi, tengahari  hujan lebat. so tiada nelayan ke laut, jadiknya tiada lah nelayan pulang membawa hasil tangkapan. kami sembang-sembang, mengeteh di warung dekat jeti. makan roti canai, keropok, teh o. nyamannn!! siap ada kucing nak bermesra-mesra dengan aku dan saira. amboihhhh...sukaaa kan kami bagi makan.

Nasi kandar Festival, Queen street, Georgetown, Penang.

GEORGE TOWN - Part of Queen Street here will be transformed into a nasi kandar haven on July 7 and 8, with more than 100 tables offered to foodies to tuck into mouth-watering dishes.

Among the signature dishes are onion chicken briyani, fish head curry, spicy turkey curry, duck curry and nasi dalcha.

Fifteen famous nasi kandar operators will line the street with their signature dishes during the Nasi Kandar Festival 2011, one of the events held in conjunction with George Town Festival 2011.

The event, organised by the Penang Muslim League (PML) and supported by Malaysian Muslim Restaurant Owners Association (Presma), will be held from 5pm to 11pm on both days.

Household names like Dawood, Line Clear, Subaidah, Pelita, Nasmir, Khaleel, Kapitan, Merlin and Ramzan will be in the “star-studded” line-up taking part in the event.

Others include NS, Rahim Nasi Dalcha, Kassim Mustapha, Tajudin Hussein, Sultania and Sup Hameed.

PML president Datuk Najmudeen Kader said they would adopt the al-fresco concept with more than 100 tables to be put up on the street during the celebration.

“No canopy will be put up during the event. We want nasi kandar lovers to soak in the ambience where they get to sample all the signature dishes in the heritage enclave.

“The 400m stretch will be well lit with decorative lighting,” he said during a press conference at the PML premises on Queen Street here on Monday.

Also present were George Town Festival director Joe Sidek, Presma vice-president K.K. Sihabutheen and representatives of various nasi kandar operators.

There will also be a demonstration on kabbadi and nondi, a hopping game which would be open to the public.

He added that all the participating operators would set up a corner in their respective outlet where pictures of the yesteryear would be put up on display as part of the month-old celebration.

The George Town Festival 2011, to be held from July 1 to 31, features over 80 programmes showcasing arts and culture.

It is organised in collaboration with the Penang Municipal Council, George Town World Heritage Incorporated and Penang Global Tourism Sdn Bhd.

The Star is the official media partner.
