Warisan Homestay, K.Terengganu

Today, I will bring you to Warisan Homestay. It is conveniently located in Teluk Ketapang Homestay Village, Kuala Terengganu in Terengganu. Airport is only 5 minutes away and about 2km to the beach. There are afternoon hawkers selling nice foods at the beach. You can get a taste of many local afternoon foods which includes fish, cuttlefish, coconut drink etc. In the morning, there's a stall (Bakar's foodstall) where you can get your breakfast. But beware, locals start their days early so you might not get your 'nasi lemak' (rice) after 8:30am. For muslims, the nearest Surau is about half a kilometer away. About 1km, there will be Terengganu Sports Complex and a driving school which also offers Go-Kart circuit. To go to the town, Kuala Terengganu, you can either drive about 10km (about 10 minutes) or, take a boat (locally called penambang) and you will arrive at Pasar Kedai Payang - the main market.

About the homestay. There are 2 types of package: homestay and chalet. If you opt for chalet, the charge is per room (up to 4 person) per day. If you opt for homestay, the charge is per person. But the owner only take up to 4 person at one time. With homestay, you will be given a schedule of activities. I will write about the homestay package later.

Anybody interested? Just dial 017-9073976 (En Bakar) or 019-9756539 (Cikgu Hj Ismail) to get more information.

It's worth it!

MIHAS 2007

Well, it was a busy weekend. I went to visit the Malaysian International Halal Showcase 2007 in KL Convention Centre. The trade fair began on 9th May but open to public on 12th and 13th May. On Saturday, we arrived at 10:00am to avoid busy traffic and crowd. It was so good to see more products from kampong (village) being showcased in such an international event. Malaysian from all walks of life came to see the event, but I saw many visitors were upset with the compulsory registration. The public came to learn more about Halal products and their special offers. They are not interested to do big business with the exhibitors. They want to buy the food and drinks. So what the heck that they need to register with their phone numbers and address?
