[@arianasofia8930]

Malay people are actually are very friendly like they would be happy to tell you a story because we like to lepak(chilling)->mostly boys/elderly) or membawang(gosip/discuss about something)-> mostly girls) usually you will found a group of guys in warung(small roadside stall) or around kampung area If you can speak/understand bahasa malaysia very well you will have no problem communicating with them. You might even found new members Btw terengganu is very interesting place to visit. Its famous for the clear water beach and lots of beautiful islands its a perfect place for picnic/swimming/diving/ride a boat(you will feel the fisherman vibe) also it was famous as the birt place of keropok lekor and full with historical place/museum/crystal mosque Since you're going north I would suggest you to go visit langkawi there so much fun activity to do there 😊 you're definitely not going to regret it. Its famous place to buy chocolate as a gift because its cheaper than other places plus langkawi is famous for island nature. And its perfect place for a vacation

Kuantan is my favorite city of whole Malaysia. The perfect word to describe Kuantan is laidback and peaceful. Venture out to Balok where you can experience a bit of fisherman life. Balok is a fishing village but have a totally different vibe from what you would get in Terengganu. Each state has its own identity and I forever wish that it will never change.

I am also borned and raised in Pahang, but Kuantan is far away from my village (3 hours journey)😂😂😂 I seldomly go there… Pahang is the biggest state in Malay Peninsular. But when I go Kuantan, I will make sure myself to swim in Kuantan Beach (Pantai Pelindung), quite & serene beach & not forget to eat Kuantan Seafood at Tanjung Lumpur. I think kuantan has the best and fresh seafood.

Very cool vlog. Happy to see you enjoy with locals. Kuantan is one of my favourite gateaway if I'm heading to the east from Kuala Lumpur. Well recommended, very peaceful and calm, unlike KL, which is quite tough. Telok Cempedak is my favourite spot. Others, Batu Hitam beach, Balok beach, Cherating. I love drive along the coastline. I always suggest the best spot in KL to visit but if you choose to go Kuantan you are in another level already. 😊

Aargh, Tim from the first coffee cafe upstairs recommended Teluk Cempedak as the best beach. FYI, natives of Kuantan do not go there. Too touristy and targeted for foreign and domestic tourists. But if you want to enjoy the beach and swim in the sea, Cempaka and Sepat beaches are the places to go. Or Balok, on the other side of Kuantan. Cheers.

[@rohanimohd1848]

When you come to terengganu, you should try nasi dagang and fried keropok lekor for breakfast, for that i suggest you to go to warung berkat gong pipit. It has good iced coffee too. But if you stay in seberang takir for beautiful beach of teluk ketapang, you can have the best nasi dagang at warung nasi dagang kak ja. It is very small warung, 5 mins walk from the beach which the locals call miami beach. But teluk ketapang beach is more beautiful and cool..near airport. In the evening you must try ICT ikan celuk tepung, also in ketapang beach

[@roughrosa]

If you like houses and local residences, I would suggest Melaka. Most tourists flock the town and Jonker street but the gem is if you walk the villages, you could spot the low ceiling wooden houses scattered everywhere in the outskirts of Melaka. Maybe befriend some locals to tour you their houses.

[@lynncomel]

There is a saying in Kuantan that KL is for working and Kuantan is for raising family. So if you feel KL is more relaxed than Singapore, then Kuantan is more relaxed than KL. My mom from Perak, my dad from Pulau Pinang. They both feel more comfortable staying in Kuantan due to many reasons compared to their birthplace. I love it here too. I haven't travelled much so I can't say Kuantan is the best but I can say Kuantan has all the necessary facilities nearby so we don't need to travel far for each services. Forest, hills, seaside, riverside, lakeside all less than an hour drive depending where you stay. The convenience and easy access to nature are definitely it's strong points. The only weakness that needs improving right now is the increase in population has made parking very hard to get at shopping centres, gov offices and healthcare centres. Plus the lack of pedestrian walks around town and housing areas make it quite risky for school children and even adults to walk home or anywhere close by. Hopefully people in charge will do something about it.

[@yummymellon4058]

Huk... I'm a kuantan people.. Well I guess not many foreigners come here. They prefer penang, kl and KK more. Yeah here we don't really have that many skyscrapers which I'm thankful for😂. I do go back and forth from KL-Kuantan, I live near a beach so it's a bit of a bless being out of the city. More calm and less people. Not many rush. Although there's always a boost of people coming during weekend from nearby region now that's an ultimate chaos I hate. Don't go out on weekend. That pakcik who went to Australia somewhere in the 70s-80s must've been super bright people because not many at those time can afford going overseas to study, usually those who went are either English educated (comes from well privileged family) or got scholarship from government.

@abdulmananshuib2626 the issue also is cultural. Malays from villages tell others that studying English will make you 'less malay' so some people believe that crap.
