TGG Day 2 │ Recap

A Slow Start to the Morning

We meant to wake up early, but fatigue kept us in bed longer than expected. We finally began our morning walkabout at 8:30am, strolling the length of Kampung Cina before having breakfast at Pasar Kedai Payang. After making a loop around the market, we headed back to the hotel, then drove out to Batu Buruk beach for a very pleasant walk down memory lane.

Laundry Adventures (Not the Good Kind)

Back in town, we stopped at a laundromat near the hotel to get our laundry done.

Unfortunately, it turned into an unpleasant experience — the fussy proprietor hovered over us the entire time, watching every single thing we did. Social distancing seemed to be an alien concept for this pesky little man.

A Sweet Discovery

Once the laundry was done, we spotted a stall across the street selling the most delicious pisang goreng. It was so good that we enjoyed it a little too much — lunch was completely forgotten.

Dinner With an Old Friend

Dinner, however, was a grand affair. My dear old friend Vinodh invited us to Restoran Ocean, where we spent hours catching up and reminiscing about our days growing up in Kuala Terengganu. Good food, good company, and good memories — the perfect way to end the evening.

Tomorrow’s Mission

Tomorrow will be an important but tiring day, as we will finally be fulfilling our true purpose for returning to Kuala Terengganu. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
