Adin & Ayah at Pantai Kelulut, Marang (Pulau Kapas on the background)
Adin & Ayah at the same spot 11 years ago...
Pantai Kelulut holds fond memories for us. During a trip to Terengganu in 1998, we stopped to see Pulau Kapas from Pantai Kelulut. Adin saw the water and immediately wanted to get in... His words to Ayah... "Ayah, nang eghh..." Ahh...Those were the days...
Visiting Terengganu is not complete without having nasi dagang. The famous nasi dagang at Cabang Tiga in Kuala Terengganu is not as popular as before, so we were told. The current popular spot for nasi dagang is Warong Norzila in Kuala Ibai.
Rows of pots filled with the heavenly nasi dagang, nasi kerabu, nasi minyak, pulut kuning...
On the way home...
