Post 66: 2010 Chinese New Year

19th February, 2010; Kota Bahru; Post 66:

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!!!
