Deepavali @ Kuantan!

For the past 3 days we were in Kuantan celebrating Deepavali. We left KL on Friday late afternoon to the home stay near Charan's place. To our surprise, the home stay is better than expected. The room is big, clean and cheap. The hotel we went last year considered cheap but this is better. Two queen size bed for only RM60, but thats for 2 person price. If 4 ppl staying in that room it will be RM80 which is even cheaper! Hotels wont have that kind of price for such a room. The next day we had to shift to another home stay but its also quite good although same price for 1 queen size bed. But no doubt its really clean and reasonable. 

Friday night we went roaming around on our own because the hosts were busy cleaning up for Deepavali. So we went 777 restaurant for dinner. 

Nasi kukus ayam berempah. 

Fried carrot cake. So crispy until i cant stop to chew properly. 

Dessert hunting on. We looked for Lila Wadi for mango cheesecake but its closed. We werent sure if its shifted or closed down. (shifted to Jalan Beserah opposite Crocodile Rock). We came across Snogurt at the menara opposite padang and decided to give it a try. Its expensive and yogurt taste very mild. Not great and that will be the last. 

Day 2: DEEPAVALI!

We actually love Deepavali (if there's open house hahaha) because the home cook mutton curry is just awesome!! I love their food and damn, i just cant stop eating. 

Hair of the night: Braids by boyf. 

We partied until 4 something in the morning until got chased away buy Charan's aunt. Lol. 

Day 3

Brunch at Dreamhouse. Famous for its 3 colour pan mee (dragon fruit, carrot, spinach). Nice~ Next stop is my favorite in Kuantan = Mustafa. I love the rojak there. After that we headed to Mokna for some fried stuffs. 

Beach time! Charan's family wanted to go to the beach and so we join. Baby was so excited about it. Haha. 

After cleaning up we went for dinner. Wanted to go the infamous Chiang Mai or Sabai at the thai area but closed. Probably raided until cannot operate anymore. Sigh. No fate with that place at all. We then went to A Lemon Grass for Thai food also. Nice place. 

Pineapple fried rice is good. 

Phad Thai is awesome! Mix everything and it makes the sauce really good. 

Tom yam is flavorful but not spicy. 

There's always room for dessert. Checked out the new Lila Wadi place but not open. == Why!?? Sigh. Then we went to La Casa to try it out. Waited quite long just for the dessert but worth waiting. The cake is huge and its strawberry ice cream cheesecake. Its not the typical sweet cheesecake we always have. Its salty and different, probably a different kind of cheese. Overall its really good and worth going. 

We then headed back to KL and reality. Wanna travel more but have to know the limits.
