Saw this big sign board on road side, advertising Pepsi and I have no idea what does "Sokmo" mean.

SOKMO is a common word use in Kelantan that means "Always"... that goes for a word a day ar... :P

Post 67: Waterfall

22nd February, 2010; Damansara; Post 67:

While going back to Paka hometown during this year CNY, i sneak out and explore further on town Paka, see what is there around this town have as holiday spot.

Thanks to a group of friends meet at the Chemurong Waterfall, they brough me into deep forest and it takes about 1 hour walk to reach top to see this magnificant waterfall...it is a giant waterfall.

As the stone is very slippery , it takes extra care to go into the waterfall to enjoy cooling water. But it worth every moment we suffer to get here. This waterfall have great spot to relax and enjoy natural beauty.

It actually take 1 hour ride from Paka town to main entrance to Chemurong, 1 hour walk in the forest before arrive to this waterfall. It is a tired trip, especially walking in the forest, so definately need to prepare well before walking into it.

Glad I did it and surely will come back again!!!

Post 66: 2010 Chinese New Year

Paka, a small fish village town 1/2 hours away from Kijal, 1 hour away from Kemaman & 4 hours drive from KL. Not much of development in this small town but surely it is one of my fovourite place for sleep and relax. In here, there is no hypermarket, no cinema and no shopping center at all!!!

For a city boy like me, resting at the beach side is my favourite as there is none in KL. Sit down on sand, enjoy sea breeze, sea wind blowing and clear my mind for awhile... It is one of the best reflexilogy for me!!!

Paka alone will give you 2 good spots for beach side. One along the town and another is Pantai Kemasik. These 2 beaches is most regular beach side I visit when I am back there for holidays. At Pantai Kemasik, local government had build some infra structure for camping or BBQ. So there is slightly more visitor there as compare to the Paka beach side.

Another nearby beach side is in Kemaman, Kuala Beach Side. Obviously all these beach side will be much cleaner, and more natural, as it is still not so commerciallize comparing with others. Furthermore, along the sea coast, there is few wooden restaurant set up serving local delights. So while you sit down and enjoying sea view, you can still order ABC & Keropok Lekor to try.

One of my favourite food in Paka in Nasi Minyak served with Chicken Rendang. It is consider a very oily food but I think good food normally not healthy food, right??!!! :P

This is Keropok Lekor and it is best eat when hot. Looks can be pretty ugly but taste is fantastic!!!

Satar. I am not sure what is the meat use for this but it does taste good for me too. I can eat this 10-20 pc, easily. Each very small piece only.

Can remember what is the name for this but it is also another local food. It is like Chee Cheong Fun serving with coconut milk with sambal belacan. By reading description, it is totally the wrong food combination but this is actually my mum's favourite food and I think is most Pakaians favourite food too. :D

It is a great getaway place for mind clearing and relax. Getting away from city life, away from traffic jam and away from daily hassel. As the normal Chinese said: Resting is for walking further!!!

Post 61: Cookies

I love Pineapple Tart...Fuuny thing is, this kind of delicious cookies can only available during Chinese New Year.

On normal days of the year, hardly can see any where selling this cookies. This year, I know where I can get it... XD

Is been really a tiring process preparing pineapple tart where powder need to be mix well, pineapple jam need to be porpotionate, must watch closely with the baking timing...etc...alot of work.

Everything start about 12pm and manage to finish it at 9pm night. Full 9 hours...tired....but the result is pretty satisfying...

The pineapple tart taste good. Texture is nice, butter smell goods!!! and best is...she is selling, earning extra income for Chinese New Year!!!
