Living Life In The Slow Lane

This week at work things were a little more interesting. So much so I am tired out after work. A vessel in the plant ruptured, spewing out gas. The tear was about a meter long. So we spent most of work time trying to sort it out.

Lately I have also started to slow things down a little, enjoying life a lot more. For example, at night me and the missus will go out and have a nice meal sampling the various cuisines on offer. Sometimes I would also be eating by the beach enjoying a freshly fried fish dipped in flour while sipping on a coconut drink (okay I made that up! I usually have coffee black KAW).

So I would like to share a few spots in around the area should anyone happen to pass by. If I manage to get the pictures of the places I will repost this again.

Breakfast to Dinner

Usually nasi lemak, nasi dagang, nasi minyak. Currently I have 4 places I normally go to. 3 in Dungun and one in Paka. There is also the market where we have breakfast most Fridays. I really want roti telur though.

I have put some of those places on the map of Dungun below.

We also have dinner at Lotfi’s tomyam place called Ria Tomyam and Batu 48.

Map of Dungun

In Paka and Kerteh we of course have

a) Awie Tiram Bakar – seafood

b) Kelab Desa Rantau Petronas – all kinds of food

c) JR’s – Chinese food

d) Sawasdee – Siamese food

e) Gerai sotong goreng near Meraga Beris – Obvious really

In Kemaman we have

a) Bukit Kuang – Seafood

b) Hai Peng Kopi – Err Coffee

Of course there are more places we have been, but it has been some time that I need to go again to resample the food to see if they are nice.


Market

Today me and KKL went to the market and had Sup Tulang for breakfast. It was fantastic! Something different from what we are used to. Basically they plonk down a plate of white rice with cucumber, a fat slice of fried egg, ikan kering and sambal belacan, together with a bowl of steaming sup tulang. After the meal we went and bought some of our groceries.

To commemorate Muhaimin’s 29th birthday, we made Nasi Tomato Special and Daging Gulai Special ala BCT (That’s Bukit Chatak for those who do not know what BCT is)

The Sweet and Sour Prawn we made last week for my birthday

So to Min… Happy Beddey Man.. the food was really nice!
