PLAYING TOURIST AND EXPLORING KEMAMAN WITH AN EX-COLLEAGUE - PART 1

   27TH JANUARY 2026    ~ I decided to cross over to Terengganu from Pahang to meet up with an ex-colleague [of SMK Taman Universiti], Puan Rohani Shamsuddin, who is residing in Kemaman. The early plan was to take the bus, but I missed the last bus in the morning so I decided to hop on a taxi. Puan Rohani met me at the bus station in Chukai town, and the first activity was to explore Kemaman. She was with her husband who was kind enough to take me around for sight-seeing.

The first stop was the bridge over Chukai River [correct me if I am wrong], where the sign "KEMAMAN IDAMAN" on the hilltop was visible. 

The second stop was Kuala Kemaman which looked like a fishing village. One could enjoy the ocean view minus the beach. There were huge rocks by the seaside which I think acted as a barrier to stop erosion of ocean waves.

It looked like I was the only tourist, with two tourist guides and a cat.

THE GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE IN KEMAMAN

    27TH JANUARY 2026     ~ During the short reunion session with Puan Rohani Shamsuddin in Kemaman, an ex-colleague of SMK Taman Universiti, she took me for lunch at this one place before going back t Kuantan. Located in the heart of Chukai town, the restaurant was called KB Brewster.

The place was empty when we arrived but we could see many tables were already reserved for lunch. I guess the main reason was there was a promotion going on. The Chicken Chop was sold at only RM10 that afternoon.

I got to thank Puan Rohani again for the time spent. Guess I would have to stay there longer in order to explore Kemaman more in the future.
