Auntie GEE hometown - Kemaman Day1

Friday 28-May is Vesak Holiday, followed by weekend Saturday and Sunday. So, it is a total of 3-days holidays, and we follow Auntie Gee going back hometown as our vacation. Hurray!!! 
 
Planned to depart at 9am, but there was a delay. We departed about 11am, after taking our breakfast at PappaRich Kopitiam at Uptown. Auntie Gee drove. Departing from Uptown, she drove along LDP towards Kepong, then merged to MRR2. After that, she took KL-Karak highways. At here, I started my nap. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!

When I woke up, I was exiting from Lebuhraya Pantai Timur to a small town called Gambang near Kuantan. We took our late lunch at this small town. Auntie Gee ordered her sister favorite 枸子炒番薯叶, steammed kampung chicken and fried egg. After lunch, we proceeded to our first attraction of this vacation - WATERFALL. Auntie Gee drove into a small road, passed  by a quarry. Haha... Auntie Gee said should be the right route towards the waterfall since seeing a car at front of us. 

At end of the road was the entrance to the waterfall. Thanked to Auntie GEE's brother leading us the right route to WATERFALL. Entrance fee was RM2 per adult, I was free.

The handsome guy is Auntie GEE's brother.

Waterfall??? Not yet, need to walk further in.

Hurray!!! Waterfall .... 

Hanging bridge

Why no cooling effect at this waterfall???

Next destination was Kuantan, capitol of Pahang state. Auntie GEE drove us around the town - the main street, the second street, .... Then we went to visit the mini ZOO. We found a pair of black bears, dears, monkeys, rabbits, buaya, and etc. We had spent some time at this zoo. Afterwards, we visited Teluk Cempedak beach. Too bad, no photos as the camera battery exhauted.

We continued our journey to Auntie GEE hometown - Kemaman, about an hour drive from Kuantan. It was 6pm++ and Auntie Gee's parent was waiting us for dinner. On way to Kemaman, we passed by Cherating. We were entering Terengganu state.

We reached Auntie Gee's hometown about 7pm++. We quickily took bath, then went for dinner. Auntie GEE's father ordered the Kemaman speciality - Stuffed Crab 酿蟹 (Cooked crab meat is extracted from shell and fried together with ingredients such as eggs, onions, spring onions, garlic and parsley. The mixed paste is then filled back to the crab shell, covered with egg white and deep fried. It’s served with chilli sauce). The famous restaurant is Tong Juan 东源酿蟹. But we ate at next door, Auntie Gee's regular restaurant which also can cooked the delicious stuffed crab. Thanked Auntie GEE's father for the dinner!!!!
