Road Trip!

Almost three weeks after I got Covid-19 we were headed northeast to Kuala Terengganu. The trip was a welcomed respite as we sought to recharge ourselves, physically and mentally.

The last time we were in my hometown was in June last year. Before we went back to Kuala Lumpur we left the keys to the gate with a neighbour who has been helping to keep an eye on the property, he has also been tending to the plants. Thank you Heng!

This time around we left our condo before dawn to begin our long drive up the east coast. We headed north and drove past the Gombak Toll Plaza at 6:30am. After almost an hour we exited Karak Highway at the Bentong Toll Plaza before making our way past the Karak Toll Plaza and onto the Lebuhraya Pantai Timur (LPT, or East Coast Expressway).

We arrived at the Temerloh Rest & Recreation area at 7:40am and had a simple breakfast of Nasi Lemak and Noodle with Soup, together with drinks it all came to RM26.00 (approximately USD6/EUR5).

Breakfast out of the way we then resumed our drive forty five minutes later, and after two more hours we finally drove past the Kuala Terengganu Toll Plaza then headed to town for lunch. We were determined to have lunch at our perennial favourite Chicken Rice restaurant, Chuan Kee. Alas by the time we got there it was noon and they were all out.

The next best thing was On The Way (OTW) Kopitiam about a kilometer away along Jalan Pesisir Payang. We were lucky to get a seat since OTW quickly filled up. A quick scan of the QR code and we placed our usual order of:

Laksa Kuah Merah
Laksa Kuah Puteh
Laksam Kuah Puteh
Rojak Betik
French Fries
Iced Tea with Evaporated Milk
Iced Lemon Tea
Apple Juice

Our lovely lunch came to RM66.40 (approximately USD16/EUR14).

At 1:00pm we made our way to my late Aunty's home excited to check in on the place. Back in June last year we engaged a cleaning crew to give the house a comprehensive spring cleaning. Apart from cleaning the home we also disposed a ton of junk that required two trip of a small lorry.

The cleaning crew had spent an intense 14 hours cleaning the entire house. In time we hope to bring this home back to its former glory, and become a family 'homestay' of sorts.

We spent some time unloading a few things that we brought along for the home including a solar spotlight to replace the malfunctioning lamp at the back of the home. While Cat washed the toilet downstairs with its newly installed bowl and cistern I busied myself inspecting each electrical outlet.

We then drove a very short distance to MS Resthouse located along the same street and checked in. We had booked two rooms for a duration of four nights that came to RM99.00 a room a night (approximately USD/EUR). Since my late Aunty's home was equipped with a newly purchased washing machine we no longer needed to look for accommodations that provided a washer.

We were in Room 7A while Brendan was across the corridor in Room 2A on the first floor of the rest house. We spent the next three hours catching up on some much needed sleep and arose at half past five.

Stay tuned for our next video as we head back to the home then out for dinner!
