A trip to Sg. Lembing, Kuantan (Oct 2009) part 1

It's been quite sometime since I last update my blog. Due to the change in my working life and the busy new life.. I have to put a side my blogging for a couple of months. So for a start, here's the trip that I went with my family early Oct 2009 to Sungai Lembing in Kuantan.

Sungai Lembing town is a small village located 30km from the Kuantan toll gate. When you first see this small town you might think that this is just another small village with nothing much to do & see. But you are wrong, this small town is famous for its 山水 tofu where the tofu is made from the natural spring water from the mountain. The tofu is very soft & tasty not like those that we ate here. This place is also famous for its Panorama Hill where you can watch the sunrise at the peak of the hill and the sea of clouds (云海) as you descend from the hill. Apart from that, there is also one more famous attraction there which is the Rainbow Waterfall. It is call the Rainbow Waterfall due to the fact that when the water gush down from the waterfall added on with the sunlight, making the rainbow to appear at the waterfall itself. However, on this trip we were not able to go for that as you need a guide to take you there and not suitable for children who are too young as the journey to climb up the waterfall is quite tough.

Oh... and good news to those pork lover, as this small town is also very very famous for this one particular roasted pork. The whole pig is being roasted by this particular operator at the back of their house. Every evening they will roast a few pigs and all will be sold off (& not to mentioned those who consume it on the spot while its still hot & crunchy) in less than 2hrs. The pigs is actually roasted in an underground pit and the taste I must agree is very nice.. :p

The accommodation there is also very affordable. It only cost us RM60 per room night and the room comes with aircond and attached bathroom with water heater. However, lunch at normal restaurant (we consider it coffee shop in KL) there is extremely expensive. Why I say so? Cause it cost us RM80++ for 1 small fish, 1 tofu, 1 vegetable and 5rice + 1 pot of chinese tea. That's way more expensive than KL if you ask me.
