Thanks for sharing this absolutely wonderful video n for showing your lovely explorations in Kuantan, Pahang. D river cruise looked so fun n amazing. D riverfront is beautiful.

[@VeggiesOnTour]

It’s a great spot Yasin! We had some more great experiences here - in fact some of the best that we’ll be sharing

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@VeggiesOnTour Wonderful. Lovely to hear that n know that u guys enjoyed your time in Kuantan. 😄

[@jonmath4182]

Your bahasa melayu has gone up another level! _Hujung minggu,_ wow! 😅👍👏👏👏 I guess now you can expand on that, to form longer, common phrases, eg: the locals like to _santai di hujung minggu_ (chill out during weekends), and _hujung minggu ramai orang santai di tepi pantai_ (on weekends many people chill out by the beach) 👍

[@VeggiesOnTour]

Hahaa ya boleh!!

[@lovecats777]

So this is Nanami place dream to living after he retired

[@hawaandroid2786]

Redang , Perhentian , Langkawi are truly among best beach/ island in peninsular Malaysia. Calm, white sand and clear blue water, those are the reasons why local recommended you guys to visit there. Teluk Cempedak is hip and happening but water visibility quality is not as good as those mention above.

[@zafir7007]

I love Kuantan. Used to hang around there in my youth. Kuantan has a cool seaside town vibe.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Some people mentioned Kaya toast originates from Singapore. They do not even have coconut plantations to make Kaya.

[@VeggiesOnTour]

😂

[@cuntnuggetjizz]

seems like singapore is living rent free in your head eh

[@user-tl9wv6wu9h]

I’m happy you guys can find vege option menu around country. Buffet ‘lauk campur’ restaurant style always serving vegetables dishes!

[@ahmedkotb6111]

RIP Nanami kento

[@sunnyraj3636]

Rip nanami

[@jonmath4182]

Oh man, I'm in UK until later in the year, otherwise I probably could have invited you two for raya open house! Too bad, maybe some other malays would offer you the invite, especially ones outside of KL or any of the big cities. But then if it's somebody from KL who celebrate raya in their hometown, then probably you would also get the opportunity to sample our yearly _balik kampung_ vibes, akin to going home for christmas but different at the same time!

[@VeggiesOnTour]

That would’ve been crazy good! Big ups for the invite either way, next time for sure. Balik kampung vibes! 🔥🙏🏻

[@qismumahayidin1881]

The cat treat stuff... that's very kind of you. God bless.

[@andresloft]

Kuantan has a really laid back vibe. You can rent a car and drive towards Beserah, Balok (these are villages along the way) or till Kemaman (Trengganu) and you can just drive off-track to the different beaches. Since you guys are comfortable talking to the locals, just go ahead and ask for food recommendation

[@Yasin_Affandi]

D Teluk Cempedak beach looked really lovely with crowd of people, it's coming back to life after d years of lockdown.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

I was surprised myself to see lots of fastfood restaurants by d beach when I visited d beach in 2014, d year I moved to Kuantan from KL. D beach has changed so much since d 1970s.

[@VeggiesOnTour]

It’s really developed! But it’s retained so much beauty! So nice!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@VeggiesOnTour Glad to hear that u guys have had a reasonably good time in Kuantan. D cities n states in d east coast r so underrated n it welcomes travellers like u guys to realize their own vibe, charm n beauty. Thanks to u guys. 😄

[@amirulazharomar7483]

Kuantan is destined to grow. First, the East Coast Rail Link is targeted to be completed by 2027. That makes Kuantan and the whole east coast more accessible from KL. Then there is the massive Chinese investment to expand Kuantan port. And to set up an industrial estate nearby. Hopefully the local govt has a masterplan for the next 20 years. An ART would definitely help. One that connects the airport, the railway station, the bus station and possibly the port.

[@VeggiesOnTour]

Semoga! 🙏🏻🇲🇾

[@nabitahrose1528]

Go to Sepat Beach..just the other side of town across the tanjung lumpur bridge... Ask the local, they ll show you😅

[@andresloft]

Teluk Chempadak…. Seems like u guys were are at the main 2 beaches, the first is highly developed and the second attract more crowd now after the wooden connection has been built. For more quiet beach experience, either 1) go all the way towards the right at the 1st beach 2) there’s a 3rd beach which u had to go through a forestry at the end of 2nd beach. This beach is marvellous (5-7 years ago)

[@syahidn.3218]

[@eat.live.travel]

It's been so long since I've been to Kuantan. Need to visit again!

[@VeggiesOnTour]

Ahhh, genuinely it’s a good city for cafes. Such good food, cafe and vibes. Genuinely, a city we could live in I reckon

[@marchvickness4953]

Even though im malaysian... i never been to Kuantan before...

[@BreakawayBites]

Kaya Toast & coffee @ kopi tiam...Nice!!1... Shoutout to JOHOR!!!... Old vintage shops & buildings...Up your alley mate!!.. Seems to me you guys were having a blast on the river cruise. Least, you guys enjoyed the nice riverside view, the beach and makanan yang sedap!!... Keep safe out the mates.... Missing you guys , Cheers!!

[@VeggiesOnTour]

Big shout out to Johor! 😂

[@nonprofit9426]

Fishing = Memancing/Pancing ikan. 😊

[@nabitahrose1528]

During weekends seoat beach wilk rows of camps, people camp along the miles end of beach...

[@josepwillis687]

Good Job

[@muhd7144]

0:46 Actually Pat in good kaya toast, the butter is ice cold, so it's not spread over the toast but rather cut into a slab, place over the kaya and sandwiched between two toasts. Four criteria for the best kaya toast IMHO : 1. Thick slices of bread - three-quarter inch is about right; 2. Toasted over traditional charcoal grill until crusty on the outside but still soft inside; 3. Home made kaya spread generously over one of the toasts; and 4. A slab of cold butter sandwiched between the two toasts. Yum yum 😋

[@VeggiesOnTour]

Agreed 100% - ice cold butter is the best!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Sungai lembing has a history too. Tin mining.

[@VeggiesOnTour]

A lot of things were closed there! We were planning on going!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

[@LanzFranchess]

not "pertama kalau DALAM pahang"... but "pertama kali DI pahang"... like julia said before.

[@VeggiesOnTour]

Haha you’re right! But this was before that video! 😂 we’re in Sarawak now 😂

[@wewenang5167]

DONT GO SWIMMING AT KUANTAN RIVER....THEY GOT CROCODILES LOL

[@andresloft]

The River Cruise, i was told the best experience is the night cruise, whereby you can see crocs as well as fireflies…. But limited though, coz such it has to be right condition, like non-rainy, low tide….. that’s nature i suppose

[@HoustonWorldTravel]

Great content 👍🏾

[@sharimanramlan]

Good to see this video. Anyway, fishing in Malay is Memancing =)

You should go to cherating..at night its more happening on weekend..

[@WanderEats]

Oh how I missed Kuantan... great food destination actually

[@VeggiesOnTour]

It’s so good! How does no one mention it more?!

[@WanderEats]

@@VeggiesOnTour now that you guys are featuring it, it's all good now :)

[@azharidris7092]

Giulia fishing in Malay is Pancing Ikan.. Pancing is basically a term when you throw the fishing rod into the water..

[@jonmath4182]

Yup, but don't throw your fishing rod man, no matter how frustrated you get after spending hours and still not a single fish takes a bite! 😬 Pancing is actually both verb and noun. So the act of casting the fishing rod is also pancing, or memancing, and the fishing rod itself is also pancing (synonym: joran)

[@VeggiesOnTour]

Amazing term!!!

[@unklerolly]

7:18 i can feel the wind and the heat and almost smell the river.

[@rudyshots]

Ohhh man, saw you walking pass by Kula Cakes and not stop there for a really nice Mango Cheese Cake

[@VeggiesOnTour]

We have on a different day!

[@rudyshots]

@@VeggiesOnTour Great 👍🏽 ohh and To Fish is Memancing.. or memancing ikan

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Pahang is more towards rainforest. Terengganu more on beautiful islands

[@unklerolly]

You should go to Cherating if you can

[@VeggiesOnTour]

We did go!! Didn’t actually film it though!

[@hawaandroid2786]

Ambil ikan= took fish, Tangkap ikan = catch fish, Pancing ikan atau Kail ikan ayat yang lebih tepat

[@TheDamOv]

Hello, I will visit kuantan soon, can you give me some recommendations for hotel please? Thanks!

[@adamrsamian3964]

Nice meeting the both of you by the pool last night. BTW, did u join the buffet Ramadan iftar?
