The Cleanest Town in Malaysia

Another photo fest to feed your hungry set of peepers! This is Kuantan, the capital of Pahang, originally a modest fishing village situated in the East Coast of Peninsula Malaysia.

A little town mostly famous for its malay food, it is quite surprising that it is beginning to flourish from the benefits of being a tourists' attraction. Come come! Come for the unique flavours of Nasi dagang, keropok lekor, kuih bakar, famous chicken eggy curry puff and GOD FORBID the most famous of them all *drum roll*..... SALTED FISH!!! Ahahaahaha~

For the non-gluttons AKA sight seers haha, you can soak in the natural beauties of the sandy beaches here. Whether it is Teluk Chempedak(the most famous) , Balok beach(the quiet one),Batu Hitam(the one with black rocks) , Taman Gelora (filled with nice lotus plants) or Cherating(houses the world-class Club Med) , they are all special in their own ways and appeal to different groups of tourists. My vote undoubtedly goes to Balok for the serenity of its surroundings.

If those are not your cup of tea, take comfort that various towns are just a stone's throw away. Visit Sungai Lembing to witness the largest tin shaft mine in the whole wide world. Why not drive to Pekan, the royal town of Pahang, and visit the State museum to immerse yourself in a little history lesson? Cross over the border to Berserah in Trengganu to saviour its famous Stuffed Crab and coffee!

Go visit Kuantan today. Uhm, will the Pahang tourism board please pay up for the advertisement now?
