Riding the waves of Cherating
Surfing wherever waves break, surfers will ride them. The concept is simple—a breaking wave, a board and a brave athlete are all that is needed.
The concept is simple, but in actual practice it’s not. It needs a lot of energy to paddle against the current. This sport also increases ones patience as you have to wait under the sun for the right waves to come. A wave must be strong enough to ride, but not dangerous enough to toss the surfer as it breaks.
Well we have done it, try it. Will we do it again? . . .

#weekendgetaways
I always get "mocked" for traveling although it is usually locally. But hey, Malaysia is so beautiful. It is a heaven for weekend getaways.
I spent a weekend in Cherating and god, I love the smell of sands, the sounds of waves and definitely the wind that brushes my hair.
I stayed in Royale Chulan and Kasturi during my visit and both were tremendously accommodating in each unique ways.
Besides swimming, you can just stroll along the beach and indulge the fun
Breathtaking 300 Degree View Room 🏖️ 🌳
#mymymemories #hiddengem #romanticvacation #breathtakingview
This place is really a hidden gem 💎. Located 5 minutes from main road of Cherating, once you reach the security guard house, you need to park the car at dedicated parking spaces and a resort buggy will come and pick you and bring you to the lobby. Once get the room number, the resort staff will bring you to your room. Once we enter the room, we are so mesmerised with the beautiful paintings like of the ocean and forest view. I would rate this place 10/10. Nothing can beat this beautiful view, the serenity around it, the big room, the coffee machine, the staff services and breakfast buffet. I love everything about it.

During free time, you can roam around especially the private beach and enjoy the breeze. This place is also family friendly, where they have different programs for infants and young children. When sun is set, this place turned into a performance center, all the crew members need to sing or dance, I could said all of them were multi talented. Well done Club Med and your hospitality, continue to spread your energy to others.

Nur Liyana Binti Mohamad salleh Superb tasty Western food in Kuantan 🍝🍔🧀🌭
Alinaa Cafe & Catering
Ground floor, B-22, Lrg Baluk Darat 13, Kampung Balok Baru, 26100 Kuantan, Pahang
Since it was the last night for us in Kuantan, so we decided to try Western food, and eating here is a much pleasant!
Their smoothies were soft and represent the exact silky smoothies rather than simply blend, the spaghetti carbonara was saucy creamy, korean spicy chicken wings were crispy and balanced taste between spiciness and sweetness and the highlight- the mac n cheese with meatballs.
The mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese are super thick, and it went over the stovetop!
The total damaged was RM 130+ for 5 pax
4.6 ☆ from me ♡
#deliciousfood #awesomepic #foodie
Thai seafood craving satisfied! ♡
If you search Tom Yam restaurant in Kuantan, you will find this on top of your list!
Sara Thai Kitchen provides variety of Thai cuisine.
My family and I managed to try their-
1. Seafood Tom Yam
2. Squid salted egg
3. Omelette
4. Kangkung Belacan
5. Spicy beef stir fry
6. Chicken stir fry
7. Thai tea
8. Coffee
9. Carrot juice
10. Lime juice
Overall, the taste was lower than my expectations since it's a bit more expensive than other restaurants around here. 3.8 🌟
Total damage was RM 105.

The Kasturi Resort Cherating
#newyearadventure Hidden gem in the woods by the beach. Resort crew are wonderful, units were tastefully designed. Only let down was the wave breakers along the beach, but you can still get some beach action towards the end of the resort at the clubhouse side. Food is great, especially the nasi lemak for breakfast. Milkshakes need a bit more of thickness. There's buggy to help you with luggages when check in and check out but other than that, walking around the resort is a calming experience. Good huge bedding as well! Perfect for honeymooners.

Healing around nature at its best
This is my second time visiting The Kasturi where it has become my healing place. Healing from the busy life, busy workstyle and busy city. Nature around the Kasturi brings an inner peace to my heart and mind. The coolest thing about this place is the privacy that it offers. The calmness that comes with the sounds and freshness vibes of the forest is what I need the most. Not to forget the private pool where I can enjoy and take my own time to swim without being disturbed. #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #tripblazers
