TGG Day 2 │ Lim Sian Tian • Eja Corner • Seng Huat!

Batu Buruk and Beyond

We picked you up again after returning from breakfast and running errands. The next few hours passed quickly as Cat and I focused on our respective chores — she at the washing machine, me at the laptop — until lunchtime crept up on us. Brendan chose to continue sleeping at the rest house, so we headed out without him.

Lunch at Batu Buruk

Almost every eatery we passed was closed for Friday prayers, so we kept driving until we reached Batu Buruk. Behind the Kuala Terengganu Aquatic Centre, we spotted a row of food stalls and parked BiBi. The nearest stall was Eja Corner, so we decided to give it a try.

We ordered:

Fried Yellow Noodles
Fried Rice Vermicelli
12 sticks of Keropok Lekor
1 Ikan Celup Tepung
2 Coconut drinks
1 Coconut Shake

Lunch came to RM44.00 (≈ USD10/EUR9).

A Big Electrical Haul

After lunch, we drove to Seng Huat Electrical to meet Ben. Our main target was a 26" industrial stand fan, but we ended up buying:

Phison Industrial Stand Fan PSF 6260
Karcher Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner WD 1
iSonic Stainless Steel Kettle IJK 1803

Total damage: RM600.00 (≈ USD140/EUR124).

We returned to the house to drop everything off, then went back to the rest house for a quick shower and change of clothes. Twenty minutes later, we walked back to the house to unbox our new toys.

Cat immediately unboxed her vacuum cleaner and happily cleaned the entire ground floor. The upstairs, however, was another story — we hoped to engage a day maid soon to tackle the mopping and window wiping.

Meanwhile, I assembled the massive 26" industrial fan. After a few hiccups, the behemoth finally stood tall. Even at speed 1, the breeze was powerful — we couldn’t imagine what speed 3 would feel like.

A Productive Evening

We spent the next few hours working — me editing videos, Cat doing laundry — and got a surprising amount done. Brendan eventually woke up and ordered McDonald’s via Grab. Later, I cut my finger on a condensed milk can, so he ran to FamilyMart for Dettol and bandages. In the evening, he made another run to FamilyMart and ZUS Coffee for snacks and drinks. None of this made it on camera, but trust us — the house is turning out to be a very strategic place to stay.

Neighbourhood Catch ups

We left the house at 9:15pm and bumped into our neighbour Ng. One chat led to another, and soon Heng joined us too. By the time we got back to the rest house, it was already past 10:00pm.

What’s Next

We’re having an authentic Terengganu breakfast experience next — stay tuned.
