Stayed at Swiss Garden Resort & Spa, Kuantan - Pahang, Malaysia.
|
Kuantan is a nice place to visit for a short holiday in east malaysia. They have nice beaches like Teluk chempedak for instance, where Hyatt Kuantan hotel is located. If you are staying at Swiss Garden, the beach infront of the hotel is not too bad either but the waves are rather strong for swimming. The Cherating Beach is another option. Salted fish, crispy cuttlefish (or sotong in malay), fish crackers and many other dried seafood are sold in abundance in the town of kuantan. Have a cup of coffee at Starbucks after shopping at the Megamall, one of the better shopping centres. Best to travel on foot around town and you get to see plenty of small shops selling batik design clothes at reasonable prices. Don't forget to bargain. If you are looking for cheap toiletries,clothing, shoes or slippers, try the Maideen store. Cheap but not necessarily good. Located near the stadium and within walking distance to Kuantan Parade, another shopping centre.Not too far from the stadium, at the Terminal Makmur, you could also catch coaches to various part of malaysia like Kota Baharu, Jerantut, Kuala Lumpur or even to Singapore. It only cost RM22.50 to Singapore On Transnasional. Daily at 2230hrs or 2300hrs and you arrive at Lavender Street (Singapore) at 0500hrs. For me Kuantan is best remembered for its beautiful beaches, hospitable people and great seafood.

Stayed at Cititel Penang - Penang, Malaysia.
|
Penang Hill, the beach resorts, the Komitar, Gurney Plaza, China town and Little India along with the hawker stalls are all a must. There are plenty of restaurants if you like spicy food, temples to visit and the trishaw rides are fantastic. A great place to visit!

Stayed at Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion - Penang, Malaysia.
|
I only had 4 days to spend in Malaysia and had to pick only one destination to visit, and I was advised by trusted friends in Singapore to make it Penang. The city is known for its intriguing variety of Malaysian food. I am in the hotel/catering business, so this was a big attraction for me. My advice is to forgo the sit-down restaurants and take every meal at the local kopitiams (coffee shops) or food hawker markets. Don't worry, the food is fresh and safe to eat at these establishments and you get to rub elbows with the locals at the same time. Besides all that, prices are dirt cheap. Be sure to try some of the local signature dishes: assam laksa, char kway teow, rojak to name a few.
Do visit the merry old white colonial E&O hotel and have a frosty, tall ale in their Farquhar's Bar while looking out at the sea or an iced coffee and scone in their charming European bakery cafe.

Stayed at Nova, Hotel - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
Getting around KL is basically via taxi since I am here only for the weekend. Never take taxis who are waiting around for they charge fixed price instead of meter based. Basically Puduraya bus terminal, Chinatown are places where these cabbies hang out, so you should walk out to the main street to hail a cab. Food is great for I ate ard Jln alor area, the street I guess in front of Hotel Nova, lots of variety, tasty, and cheap. Think these are better than going inside the restaurant located along the same street, which I ate once before and don't find them as great. Can also go to Chinatown where again you will find streetside hawkers where throngs of people eat there. Would not say so for the restaurants there, since they are relatively more expensive I guess. After which I proceeded to have a good foot massage located on 2nd floor of Swiss Inn hotel where a 40min foot masage cost only 30 RM. Additional RM10 for10 min of back massage if you like, and ear candling too if you prefer at the cost of RM40-50.
In case you should reach KL in the wee hours like I did, and your hotel check in is only after 2pm, do proceed to Ancasa hotel near pudu terminal and ask if they have vacancy for day rate, RM 50 only, or take a cab to season view at Bukit Bintang to check the same.

Stayed at Puri Melaka, Hotel - Melaka (Malacca), Malaysia.
|
Melacca was a joy, most of our sightseeing was done on foot in and around the old township.
A 1hr ride on the flowered tricyles cost us 40myr and was delightful. Take our advice don't miss an evening meal at the Baba House this was without a doubt the best meal we had in our 5 weeks holiday.

Like Italian food? L'Opera restaurant is about eight or nine minutes on foot from the hotel. Not very expensive but superb pizzas and a good wine list.
