Crystal Hotel, Hatyai๐Ÿ˜˜

Hello Everyone!!

Let’s check these out some photos I managed to capture during my Hatyai trip ๐Ÿ˜

So, we stayed at Crystal Hotel, Hatyai. The hotel has swimming pool, however we don’t have much time to swim coz our trip is very short n compact. Haha.

We paid almost around RM 200 for 2nights each and the room can fix for 2pax. Overall cost about RM 400 for 2nights in July 2024.

The hotel room, comes with breakfast
Level 7
Our room at 7th floor
The room is really clean and comfortable. It’s modern designed with transparent bathroom wall ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sexy Bathroom. hahaha ๐Ÿ˜‚
Tada!! It comes with tub, my roommate did bathing but I don’t. The transparent wall got curtain, so if u wanna feel sexy, u can take off the curtain. muahahaha, but we don’t. Of course . LOL
Got TV, but in Thailand dubbed. We couldn’t understand, so we just switch it off. LOL
Comfortable enough…I wish can spend more time in the hotel.
Spacious bed..I think it’s King Size bed. Comfortable bedding and had a wonderful rest. ๐Ÿฅฐ
Okay, all of our rooms come with breakfast. There is a story behind this breakfast hall. Me and my roommate are early that day, so we ask the guard where is the breakfast and he said at level 2. So,  we went there but it’s a dark hall. We went downstairs back and asked again, then the guard just smilling and said it’s on 3rd floor ๐Ÿ˜ถโ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ It’s really creepy on the 2nd floor. So as u came from the lift, you can see this Birmingham hall. Just tell the receptionist your room number and enjoy the food.

So here are the foods I took. It’s a plenty variation of foods, I forgot to take each of it coz super hungry.

Idk what’s the praw is, but really tasty. Others are “Kerabu Mangga” and Chicken curry.
These are their traditional desserts. Idk the name..but taste like red bean inside with jelly outside. I don’t really like it. The Star look is “Cakoi”, it’s nice and dip with condensed milk. with jelly pudding.
The dimsum is nice, I love it and I love the coffee machine!!!!! Tasty ๐Ÿคค
On the 2nd day of breakfast, I took this. Not so bad.
They had unusual coffee and tea…Teafe , Choco Tea, Thai Milk Tea and Lungo Black coffee ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Whats is that?  I just try Thai Milk Tea..

Okay, see you in next post for other location I went to Hatyai..โค๏ธ

Hatyai, Thailand!! Sawadeekap! Kapkunkap โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™

Olaa!!! Como estรกs? How are you, guys? Hope you are in a good health!!

Last month I went for a short vacay to Hatyai, Thailand. It’s food heaven ๐Ÿ˜ Thinking to repeat it again.

Check these out ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

So… I went alone to Hatyai. I booked a return ticket via online and just trust the flow ๐Ÿ˜‚ Parked my car at TBS (Terminal Bus Station), I think around RM10 per day. The journey was about 7 hours, starts around 10pm, and arrived at the Malaysia border around 6am (KL 7pm)
It was a long queue due to Malaysia public holiday, so a lot of Malaysian are going to Thailand for vacation. So, I passed and stamped twice, once at the Malaysia immigrant to check out from the country, and 2nd one was for Thailand immigrant for entrance. You really need to queue twice for the stamping purpose
๐Ÿ˜ƒ
So, I’m meeting my colleague at the Duty Free Zone building, which was located between the Malaysia and Thailand Immigrant station. So as I am done with the Malaysia Immigrant, I walked about 5-10 minutes to Duty Free Zone waiting for my other colleague and  our transport Van)
Duty Free Zone is located between Malaysia Immigrant station and Thailand Immigrant station
So, our entrance is Songkla after done with all stamping ๐Ÿ˜€. Finally ๐Ÿฅฐ
We had our breakfast at the nearby shop. It’s “Roti pisang”. Something like banana crepe with condensed milk. With Ice Tea
“Roti Pisang” aka Banana Crepe!! Delicious, eat with condensed milk โค๏ธ
She is making the Banana Crepe.
Just look around nearby building, I think it’s Fire Station.
Not sure what is that, but look so cute. haha!! Banananaananana ๐ŸŒ
So the 1st place we went is Kaysorn Souvenir. To me, it’s not really that cheap. Just normal price. So I don’t buy much here, just few items n chill while drink the Thai Green Tea blended.
hurrmmmm…not so nice. I think was about 60baht. not so cheap too. nahh ๐Ÿ™ƒ
Okay  they have some other stall but I didnt try.
The building is nice, I’m just chilling and enjoying the ambiance ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Next stop, we went to Nora Plaza Hatyai ๐Ÿฅฐ

See you in the next Post

Tekala Waterfall & Terra Pong Restaurant @Ulu Langat โค๏ธ

Hey, whatsapp guy! Hope you are in a good health.

Okay, I just wanna share the best healing spot in Ulu Langat that I went 2 weeks ago.

So, my brain is piled up with a lot of workload and it’s time to release it. Me and my colleague, we decided to go to waterfall and having lunch at nearby restaurant. The restaurant name is Terra Pong Restaurant which indirectly means, Floating Restaurant. The food is Thai Muslim food, very delicious and you are required to book the place at least 24hours before arrival. I’m kind like how the way they manage the order, you book through their website food you want to order then you gotta pay 50% from the total amount, and pay another 50% when u finish eating at the restaurant. It’s been before pandemic that I want to come, and let’s check it out.

So, the building is basically a traditional art, not really sure from Malaysia or Thailand itself. There are huge parking lot, accommodate prayer room for muslim (Surau) and washroom. Let’s check it out!!

We came too early that the waterfall gate is close and need to wait like 20 minutes before the guy came. It cost RM2 per person, and parking so far its free. We paid at the entrance and walk inside the forest.
When u walk in, there is some animal statue, these are the local animals that usually can be found in our forest.
The entrance point where the track begin. Okay, if you want to go healing with a lot of stuff, I don’t recommend this place as It has a lot of steps. If you wanna come, it’s better to have a backpack style.  easier for you to climb up the steps
After we hike about 10minutes, this is the 1st waterfall, and if there are more waterfall up there, but we just hike as long as we can see the waterfall. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ exhausted lol
I brought my own milk tea “Teh Tarik” and feel gorgeous ๐Ÿ˜ We ate “Nasi Lemak” and some “Kuih” I bought near to my home. We just bring ready made food just buy from nearby stall coz only me and 1 of my colleague. Oh!! btw, there are fishes in the water and we feed with our “Kuih”. I didn’t manage to get photo coz my phone was in my beg and too lazy to take it out. lol

After about 4 hours of spending time chit chat, bathe and eating, then we go to the restaurant we book a day before. Warning!!! You really need to book a day before, if not they won’t entertain you, or your food will arrive very late.

So it took 24 minutes from the waterfall to the restaurant. Oh! btw, the route is not easy access as you will require transport like renting a car and driving a village route.

24 minutes drive the village route by car

The restaurant is very near to the junction, so be careful when u want to enter the parking area. I missed the restaurant and make a U-turn at the nearby shops ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

The entrance and restaurant name
When you enter, the washroom and prayer room (Surau) was on your right. This is the hallway to washroom and prayer room (Surau)
Okay, so here is the washroom and place to take ablution

The “Surau” entrance
Inside the “Surau”. When I enter, I feel like I’m in 80s Era ๐Ÿ˜ƒ remind me of my grandparents’ house
I think this is smoking area..because it’s away from the restaurant.
Shoe rack, but nobody put their shoe on it including me ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
This hallway is from the washroom n “Surau” to the restaurant eating area
Our reserved table ๐Ÿฅฐ When u enter the restaurant, just go to the cashier and tell them your reservation name
To get the food, you just ask the receptionist at the payment counter to serve you. I ordered “Ikan masak 3 rasa” with Thai Tomyam and Kailan Vegie “Sayur Kailan ikan masin”. The food is marvelous.
I ordered mocha ice and my colleague ordered Ice lemon tea. I think it will be very nice if they serve dessert, but when I look into the menu, couldn’t find it.
this is kinda like stage, I think those who want to accommodate wedding ceremony, can do it here.
Beautiful right, so the restaurant is on the huge lake and it’s floating. Not exactly floating la, but looks like it’s floating. hahaha
Not sure what is this, maybe for baby to take a nap.
Oh yes!! You can feed the fishes there and they sell it about RM5 for 1 container like this. You can pay at the counter.
Before heading to home, I take a glance of the restaurant. Beautiful,  absolutely stunning ๐Ÿ˜ โค๏ธ

So…will come back to the restaurant??

Absolutely yes!! I will definitely come again and enjoy the food and view here. Insya Allah.

Till then…to be continued….

Love,

Simple & Tasty Breakfast ๐Ÿ˜‹

Hi Everyone!!

Today, I’m trying to make a fancy breakfast. It’s been so long since I watched it in YouTube. It just happened now that I’m having some time to try it on ๐Ÿ˜

Firstly, I’m using my blender to make a circle shape on my bread. I saw some people are using glass but my glass is so small.
So, after making the shape it will be something like this. Next time I’m gonna try to make other shape ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
Then, break an egg into the bread hole. I’m using 1 egg in each bread.
For those who love black pepper, you can put lil bit on the eggs. Those who love white pepper or other herb, you can choose your options here ๐Ÿ˜€
Tadaa!!! Looks Yummy ๐Ÿ˜‹
Okay, the remaining bread that I take out from the holes, I put “Kaya” jam. You may choose varies according to your likings. Some prefer Nutella , Strawberry jam and Marmalade.
I made 2 pieces of bread, so I put the jam in between and fried a lil on my pan to make it slightly crispy. I put lil bit of butter for the crunchiness and taste.
Slight press to make it it glued together ๐Ÿ˜€
Tadaaa!!! โค๏ธ Tasty and Simple breakfast done ๐Ÿฅฐ Drink with Orange Juice.

Enjoy!! ๐Ÿ˜Š
