Seems like my maiden trip to Perhentian Island leaves with me many first time-experience here. While waiting the next flight back to KL, we ordered some light and quick snacks to fill up the idle time as well as our tummy too
There are not many people around that time, so it’s easy for us to get a seat pretty fast, overlooking the plane touchdown area. Got the lunch treat set of Famous Bowl Combo. It comes with the poplets of chicken bites which are quite tender, on top of a bed of hot rice, with some kernels. The corn is sweet and savoury in the brownish gravy.

Goreng Pisang

We also got ourselves with some Goreng Pisang besides the keropok lekor while strolling along the historical town on a bright sunny day. The fried banana fritters is definitely much generous over here, compare to those I got it from stalls which are nearby my office in KL The banana used here is not from rastali breed, although am actually looking for the variety That type comes with some sourness amidst the sweetness of banana, which I hardly find nowadays elsewhere. Anyway, the snack from this stall is pretty decent, crunchy on the outer layer with softness inside. It would be better if the banana is much sweeter.

Keropok Lekor

After taking a boat ride from Perhentian Island to Kuala Besut Jetty, we decided to head to the town of Kota Bharu before heading back home. It is my first time stepping on this land, although my dad used to there on work purposes

Local delights are not the be missed should you want to immerse yourselves with the culture here. And so, we saw a stall selling the familiar snack that we used to eat, Keropok Lekor. Apparently, the keropok lekor here is much bigger size and less floury. It is fried till slightly crispy on the outside while decently soft within. You will still get to taste the fish flavor in this fried fritters.

Wantan Noodle

It’s been sometime since I last went to Kuantan for some short escape from the hustle and bustle of the city in KL, in search for some real homey food. This small peaceful town actually houses quite a lot of local delights that are freshly made, almost without much preservative.

Just like this plate of decent wan tan noodle. Am pretty sure everyone has heard and even tried this common fare at any place. But the difference would be on the types of ingredients they used. In this case, you won’t see any read ‘char siew’, but instead got replaced with flavorful braised meat and mushroom slices, chicken slices, fish cakes, dumplings and vegetables. The dumplings are bit bland, so you better pair it with the pickled green chillies for some kick. Nevertheless, the dumpling skin is very silky smooth! One things to highlight is that the mushroom slices are really nicely marinated with all the sauces and thus, very delish to the tastebud. Love it!

Roti Boy Soya Bean

It was a quick hang out on one Sunday afternoon to get some groceries for the following week. The mall wasquite crowded with families were seen enjoying the quality time being together and also youngsters sharing their weekend with their buddies alike.

As it’s quite a hot day, thought that a cooling drink like Soya Bean will do good. And so, I decided to get one bottle conveniently from The Rotiboy shop as I passed by. Usually I would just know that the bakery is known for its coffee bread, but now seems like there has been some new additions to their menu.
Their Soya Bean drink is said to be 100% freshly processed from the beans, and thus I thought there might just be very minimal preservatives needed or so. In fact, it tastes pretty good with no sendiments of the beans. It’s considered very fragrant of the soya beans used and not too sweet. Thank god the sugar level is of kept to the minimum level.
