Have Perut Will Travel...: TGG Day 5 │ Recap

A Productive Final Morning

Today was our fifth and final day in Kuala Terengganu, and we hoped to make it a productive one — tying up loose ends and doing all the things we had planned.

We headed to Pasar Kedai Payang bright and early for our customary market hunt, but first stopped by the food court for a comforting bowl of Laksa Kuah Putih. With breakfast sorted, we began our market hunt, which lasted for the better part of an hour and a half.

A Farewell Visit

After the market, we stopped by my late Aunty’s house to check on things and to bid a quiet, fond farewell. We promised ourselves that we would return in a month or so to continue the spring cleaning — a promise we intend to keep.

A Walk Down Memory Lane

On the way back to the hotel, we made a spontaneous detour to visit my old primary school, Sekolah Rendah Sultan Sulaiman 2. And boy, how it has changed. The buildings, the grounds, the atmosphere — everything felt familiar yet different, like a memory seen through new eyes.

Rest and a Light Lunch

Knackered, we returned to the hotel and rested before walking downstairs for a light lunch at Plan A. It was the perfect mid day pause before the evening’s adventure.

ICT Redemption at Kampung Tok Jembal

Later in the afternoon, we picked Vinodh up and headed to Kampung Tok Jembal for another attempt at Ikan Celup Tepung (ICT). This time, we made sure to be early and arrived before 5pm.

We ordered a full seafood feast — flour dipped fish, prawns, and squid — along with Pisang Goreng and several plates of Keropok Lekor for good measure. It was indulgent, delicious, and the perfect way to celebrate our final evening in Kuala Terengganu.

Sunset at Uptown Kontena

After an hour and a half of gorging, we made our way to Uptown Kontena, where we spent the evening enjoying the cool breeze and watching the sunset. A simple, beautiful way to close the chapter on this trip.

Until the Next Adventure

All good things must come to an end, and this video marks the conclusion of our Kuala Terengganu series. We hope to be back soon — to fulfil the promise we made to my late Aunty, and to bring you along on another East Coast adventure.
