exercise cum eat

It has been a while since I last went for hiking or trekking, but am glad to be able to join one with 3 friends at Pantai Kerachut yesterday, simply because exercise is good, and breathing in tonnes of fresh air is even soothing, far away from the pollution and exhaust of vehicles.

Seeing is believing. The last time I was here, this building was still under construction.

and there isn't any good toilet like these back then

now they have good signboard

an entrance etc

at 8.30am, off we go

an interesting tree. I didn't study or has a strong interest in botanic, so, don't really care what are the tree names are. Anyway, I think for this one, people used it to make dye in the ancient time gua...

some stairs

a small stream

more stairs

flight of stairs

crossing one of the bridges

and finally we are there

there are more people than it used to be last time. there are people fishing

photographing like a pro

walking along the beach line

or standing there aimlessly

the view was nice, and we just sat there for quite a while chit chatting

ok, hunger called, and is time to head back. And here is the usual stuff...

bridges

stream

humongous giant ants

trek

within no time, we were back to our car, and a while later headed for lunch at noon. We decided to go for lunch at Fatty Loh Chicken Rice. Anyway, as odd as it may sound, I have never tried the authentic Fatty Loh Chicken Rice before, and yesterday was the first =)

The chicken is smooth, and the soup has herbal ingredient in it that tasted totally different than the ABC soup a normal chicken rice serve. At least it means that they did put some effort in every dishes they serve, but comes with a little bit higher premium than normal chicken rice does. All in all, is a great chicken rice meal.

"shiou bak"

I couldn't help not notice dozen of banners hanging around the restaurant premisses.

This banner said that "Fatty Loh Chicken Rice" has trade mark registered, no other branches

they are also Guang Ming Daily top 10 Hainan Chicken Rice

a R&R sign

special menu pricing

and the best part is, they also have community service program to give back to the society. This banner said that disabled and person in need can dine there for free

they also have this 6fts tall chicken, really an eye catcher

however, little does the chicken know that the chef is going to serve it on plate "p

on the way back, my friend told me that this shop serves the much talk about famous Penang Laksa beside Ping Hwa School. Again, I have never tried that place before too, although I am a Penangite, shame shame... "p
