From Cherating with love

We shoot off to Cherating after work on friday..
Itu pon sempat balik umah mandi2 solat asar and amik bag..

It felt like the longest 3 hours of my life..
Dulu mase pegi club med Cherating ngan Ayong, rase mcm takde la lama sgt..
Nih dgn gelap nak mampos, ngan ujan sepanjang jln.. Ngan teringat cerita Karak (walaupon aku tak pernah tengok pon. Haha).. Takut la jugak..

Selamat sampai ke Legend Cherating.. 
Check in was smooth cause everything was confirmed and paid for.. (not by me obviously..hehe)..
Sebab mase tu ujan tgh lebat, and bilik ade lah jauh kat belakang..
Kitaorg terus gerak carik makan..

Malas nak pegi jauh2..
Ade kedai D'Cherating depan jalan tu..
We had nasik putih with tomyam seafood, ikan siakap 3 rasa, sayur kailan, telur bistik, ayam masak kicap and air for 6 people..
Total bill was only RM60!
berkali kali aku tanye leman diorang nih dah kira ikan ke belom? Sebab rase mcm murah gile makan 6 org kan.. Hehe..

Then balik bilik..

And the reviews in Tripadvisor were right..

The hotel and rooms were indeed HORRIBLE!!!

Kengkadang aku malas nak percaya sgt review2 dlm internet tu..
Sebab kengkadang mmg mat salleh mat salleh nih ngengada sikit kan..
Takde la horror sgt hotel tu tapik reviews mcm dok umah hantu..

Tapi review kali nih byk org malaysia yg letak..
And baru2 plak tuh.. And semua teruk2..
So aku mmg dah tak letak expectation lah..
Sebab slalu org malaysia nih tak ngengada mcm org putih.. Hehe..
Seb baik tak put expectations pon..

Sebab mmg teruk pon hotel Legends Cherating tuh.. Huhuhuuhu..
For the 4 stars they claim tu be, aku rase 3 star pon belom tentu aku nak bagik lagik kot..
Hotel and rooms (we booked 2 deluxe rooms) were looking rundown..
With bau hapak yg tak sedap.. Plus the shower really reminds me of horror movies.. Bila tutup jek langsir shower tu rase mcm claustrophobic gile.. Haha.. Tune hotel punye bilik air lagik lawa kot..

Anyway, kalau korang ade teringin nak pegi cherating, sila carik hotel lain.. The best would definitelt be club med.. A class on its own.. Tapi budget dia pon confirm la tinggi kan.. Hotel lain aku tak sure.. Residence inn nampak cantik la drpd luar.. 

Tapi kalau dah booked at legend.. Takpe la.. Focus on all the other good things of your holiday.. This would be quality time spend with love ones, good food.. Great company.. Hehe..

On Saturday, we started our day with breakfast at Kedai kopi Hai Peng @ Kemaman.. Kemaman is only 10 minutes from Cherating.. And this kedai kopi is famous..

But personally i think it is over rated.. Food was good but slightly on the expensive side.. But we did return on the next day..hehe.. So confirm la sedap tu kan..

Aku amik nasik dagang.. Tapi kecewa.. I have had better tasting nasik dagang especially kat kota baru and kuala tganu.. Pehtu rase leman nye nasik lemak lauk ikan.. Sedappppp.. Terus taknak makan nasik dagan and amik nasik lemak ikan.. Hehe..

Other than that.. Nescafe dia mmg aku terbayang2.. And toasted bun kaya dia pon aku terbayang2 jugak.. Hehe..

Balik dari Kemaman.. Kitaorg pegi naik hafiz mangrove river cruise.. 2 thumbs up.. Memang berbaloi baloi.. Rm20 sat kepala.. Tapi dia pusing jauh and lama.. And boleh tgk binatang2 dekat..

Setiap kali dia spot biawak tgh berehat atas pokok.. Dia manouver boat tuh betul2 kepala aku selari ngan perut biawak ok.. Aku hampir terkuncil kat situ.. Huhu.. 

Pehtu jumpa ular pulak.. Pon aku selari bawah ular.. Kalau ular tuh tergelincir mmg elok elok lah aku boleh buat topi.. Huhuhuh.. Rase nak nangis pon ade.. Rase nak terberak dlm suar pon ade.. Ahahahha..

Abah aku plak.. Mase tuh la dia dok sebuk nak sebut2 pasal cerita anaconda la.. Ape la.. Haihh.. Sabo jek la.. Hehe..

Tapi mmg best la the experience.. Rase mcm sgt intouch with nature gitu.. Hehe..

Lepas tuh.. Kitaorg pon dah ngantuk balik and balik hotel untuk berehat2..

Petang tu late lunch kat warung otak2 che wan..

Overdose on otak2 and sata.. And also keropok lekor.. Soooo superbbbbb...
Sebelom tuh pulak dah tapau Stuff crab from tong juan seafood restoran.. Super duper best ok.. Mmg kenyang sampai ke petang.. Hehe..

Balik hotel balik.. And mase nih dah start ujan lebat..
So lepak2 kat lobby hotel jek..

Me + ayong + abah tried batik painting at the hotel.. Rm20 per pax.. Sgtttttttt berbaloi baloi.. Hehehe.. Painting sambil menghadap laut.. Rase mcm a kind of therapy.. 

Yg tak best nye.. Bila nak balik tadik..dah half way kat highway baru teringat yg kitaorg tertinggal paintings tu kat hotel.. Huuuuwwaaa... Kecewa.. Tak sempat tgk hasil masterpiece masing2.. Hehehe.. We're definitely gonna do it again..

Malam tuh dinner at duyong restaurant..after reading good reviews at the internet.. Tapi agak kecewa.. Food takde la sedap sgt (except the ikan siakap and baby kailan).. Tapi mahal nak mampos.. The tomyam was a disgrace.. Sotong pon tak fresh..mmg tak luak la tomyam malam tu..

Ahad was spent again having breakfast at kedai kopi hai peng.. And sebelom balik tuh singgah kedai2 yg jual keropok2 and other stuffs..

All in all.. A very relaxing and happy holiday..

Tapik a very busy work week waiting ahead..huhu..

Have a great week ahead everyone
