Malaysia Vacation – Cherating and Rompin Beach Resort Day 6

Malaysia beach resort

As we needed to head back to Singapore today, this officially ends our Malaysia vacation. We had a great week holidaying in Malaysia and enjoying the Malaysia beach resort, especially the one in Cherating, The Legend Resort.

Starting with an early breakfast at 0730 hrs, we had a not-too-heavy breakfast from the buffet counter at Summerset Resort Rompin. Comprising breakfast food of basically Malaysian variety, you could get nasi lemak (coconut rice, also known as the national dish of Malaysia), ayam rendang (chicken in coconut milk), plain porridge with condiments as well as baked beans and sausages.

Upon meeting up with Masitah from the Food & Beverage department, she mentioned that the Royal of Pahang’s entourage of 20 had their breakfast specially prepared at 0500 hrs.

After breakfast, we returned to our room to make an international call to the facilitator of The Opening, an awakening enlightenment program that would be happening next month, as we needed to discuss certain issues before we met up with the resort staff to obtain the contract.

And the resort staff

By the time we left this beach resort accommodation, it was almost 1030 hrs, an hour and a half later than we had planned. Fortunately for us, the drive back to Singapore along Highway 3 was a smooth journey except for certain slow moving vehicles.

Mersing...

Stopping by Mersing, we managed to locate the keropok (crackers) factory at 37 Jalan Abdullah 87800, Mersing. We had been here once before by following some friends and was hoping to be able to find the place again.

And dried salted fish as well

Making the purchases

We managed to purchase some Malaysian snacks and various kids of keropok. Next door, you could see the process of making the keropok.

After shopping and purchasing the keropok, we followed directions from our Garmin global positioning system to Restoran Hai Sing for lunch. The outlet looked more like a coffee shop than a restaurant.

We ordered the fishball kway teow (rice noodles) soup and the kong bak (braised pork) noodles. Accompanied with pork lard, the fish balls were smooth, bouncy and great tasting as were all the other dishes. Total cost for lunch came up to RM35 (USD10.65) inclusive of 5 glasses of herbal tea.

Continuing on our journey back to Singapore, we stopped at a petrol station along the way to top up before reaching the Woodlands checkpoint at 1450 hrs. it was a breeze getting through the Malaysian custom and immigration as the counters were clear and there was no queue. However on the Singapore end, we took approximately 20 minutes to clear both customs and immigration.

Six days have passed since we started on our Chinese New Year Malaysia vacation. This was our first visit to Cherating beach resort and we enjoyed the various Malaysian food that we managed to try which were indigenous to the East Coast of Malaysia. At the same time, we also managed to settle some logistical issues for The Opening, an awakening enlightenment program we are helping out with next month. Overall it had been a beautiful and wonderful week lazing around at the laid-back Malaysia beach resort.
