Trip to Sungai Lembing

in view of the wesak long weekend, 7 of us decided to visit this small town Lembing in Pahang. The journey took around 5.5hrs from JB to Lembing, it is pretty... far~

Lembing is indeed a very small town - 1 restaurant (the food is very so-so), 1 kopitiam (serves very nice tea and kuih), a few stalls open through out the weekend only. More food in the morning (but we were out to the waterfall and bukit panorama), better make sure you bring along some cup noodles and biscuits with you!

beautiful Bukit Panorama (291 m). It took us less than an hour to reach the peak. we started climbing at 5:15am and able to catch the sunrise! look at the sea of clouds! very nice yea :) But when we came down, we could feel the pain on our knees... and it is only 291 m! Mt KK is 4,095 m... which is 14 times of Bukit Panorama! Ouch! Can't imagine the pain... lol. Let me think twice whether to climb Mt KK... @__@

We also went to Rainbow Waterfall. The journey was pretty tough as we were sitting at the back of a Storm for more than an hour on the super bumpy road before we reached the jungle. It took us an hour walk and climb (rocky & muddy path, slippery rocks etc~) in the jungle to reach the waterfall, not much water from the waterfall though... lol. Yea and we can see the rainbow... Too bad the place was packed with tourists, kinda noisy... our tour guide Ah Pek (his name) gave each of us a black rubber band - and it is a toxic rubber band :( it burnt our skins! and now left a dark brown scar on my wrist *sob*... becareful if you are given a black rubber band!

We had lotsa fun playing games, taking photos (more than 1000 of it, ah!); eating the famous siow bak 烧肉 (click the link to read Ah Xian's blog about lembing food), the lembing noodles (the food in lembing are generally salty! maybe becoz Ah Xian阿贤（咸）来过), the famous tofu 山水豆腐 - this is indeed my favourite, simple food with great taste! the sweetness is from within, super nice! We also travel 45 mins to Kuantan town and had the famous Satay Zul (main road of Jalan Alor Akar - enroute to Teluk Cempedak; oh man, it can be found on wikipedia!), very nice lor!!!

All in all, we had fun although did not expect a relax holiday turned into an army training trip... too much walking and climbing and lack of sleep! haha anyway it is a great company of friends, laughter and fun :)

We stay at Khoo Relax - which is 10 mins drive from town, a bit far (due to late booking) but we have car so it's not a problem, the owner - Mr & Mrs Khoo are very friendly and they will help you to arrange your itinerary and bring you to buy the siowbak etc. The rate for the whole house is RM700 for 2 nights stay, 2 big air-con rooms which can accommodate 15 ppl. Good deal :)
