Have Perut Will Travel...: TGG Day 4 │ Warung Pok Long • More Pottering Around!

Hacked!

This was supposed to be our 4th and final day, and we had planned to head back to Kuala Lumpur. However, a sudden work assignment meant that we extended our stay in Kuala Terengganu by another two nights, and who are we to complain?

After the exertions of the day before we slept in and woke up at 9:00am to discover that I was logged out of my Telegram messaging app. I could not log back in and realised that my account now bore the number +1 562 which after researching originated from Los Angeles, USA!

We decided not to panic and showered to get ready for the day. We walked to the home and started a load of laundry, and since the nondescript breakfast stall that we usually frequent was closed we walked out to Kedai Makan Ezan to also find it closed.

We doubled back and walked out onto Jalan Pejabat and here found that Warung Pok Long was open, although most of its dishes were already sold out. We settled on white rice with fried chicken and sambal, and together with drinks our simple breakfast (or brunch) came to a very modest RM14.00 (approximately USD/EUR3).

The diminutive stall also sold Pulut Lepa (Pulut Panggang, a traditional Malay dish of grilled glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaves). Turned out this particular stall was quite popular https://bit.ly/3HUMz3t among the locals and is usually sold out within the hour.

The stall had just began firing up the grille so we ordered ten Pulut Panggang ready to be collected forty five minutes later. We then took a stroll in search of rope to secure our canopy at the front porch, and eventually found it with a few other provisions at GNH Plastic that came to RM28.00 (approximately USD7/EUR6).

We then walked back to the home where we spent the morning tending to our chores, as usual I worked on our videos while Cat pottered around the house. I had an extra task of securing my new Telegram account, so it took a while.

At noon Ah Seng and his assistance came by to fix wall sockets in the small room downstairs where we had earlier installed an aircon. While the job only took ten minutes he stayed for an hour to dish some dirt on our neighbours from hell who were fond of parking in front of the home.

Apparently Ah Tiong and his obnoxious wife Vivienne had absconded to Kuala Lumpur, we'll avoid the specifics and leave it at that.

At lunchtime we were advised by a neighbour not to drive out as traffic was congested all over town. We were not feeling very hungry to begin with so we made to with the Pulut Panggang we got earlier this morning.

I continued working on our videos throughout the afternoon, while Cat took a much needed rest.

Please stay tuned as we have dinner at a new favourite restaurant serving authentic local dishes!
