ENJOYING THE SEA BREEZE ONE SUNNY AFTERNOON

   26TH JANUARY 2026    ~ The final destination of the day was Teluk Cempedak Beach, another iconic tourists attraction of Kuantan. We were there just to enjoy the scenery, the beach and to cooling sea breeze, as well as observing people who were there after 5:00 p.m.

The place was buzzing with activities - either on the sandy beach or on the higher ground with no beach sand.

I decided to explore and walk around the place, from one end to the other.

The last time I came to this place was two years ago. [READ HERE]

I managed to spot a few monkeys and an orange cat.

We had to be on the move again as there was another dinner gathering right after.

FOOTNOTE: I went to Teluk Cempedak again, on my own, the very next day [READ HERE].

GOING UP TOWER 188 IN KUANTAN WITH FRIENDS

   26TH JANUARY 2026    ~ After the hefty brunch at Puan Aunillah's house [READ HERE], it was time to get active and walk a bit. We then adjourned to Menara 188, the iconic Tower of Kuantan.

This was my second time here. The first time was 2 years ago, when I went to explore the city on my own [READ HERE].

 

Puan Hanna Sheikh Mokhtar and her daughter were the two brave souls who went on the extreme activity of Sky Walk around the Sky Deck.

The rest of us, other than enjoying the aerial view of Kuantan high up in the sky, were there to give moral support and cheer the mother-daughter pair.

There were many people when we were there, even though it was Monday evening. Make sure you visit Tower 188 when you are in Kuantan, to prove that you are a real tourist at heart.

DESSERT TIME AT KULA CAKES IN KUANTAN

   26TH JANUARY 2026    ~ After the excursion at Kuantan Tower, it was time to rejuvenate and when in Kuantan, it had to be Kula Cakes for dessert. There was no queue as it was Monday and we got or order in no time.

This was my second time in the cafe. My first one was in June 2024 [READ HERE].

It was much more fun this time as I had more friends enjoying all the sweet things.

We could not stay long there as there was another attraction in the city that had to be the visited in the itinerary list right after that.
