Journey to Perhentian Island

Just a few week ago I and my coucin brother went on a trip to Perhentian Island to pick up my cousin sister. This is the 2nd time I had been to the east coast. The first time I went to east coast to attend a programme organized by my university. We can choose from 2 route to reach the Perhentian Island. The first route is the route that passed through Kuantan to arrive at Terengganu (Perhentian Island is situated in Terengganu state). The second route will pass you through gerik and then enter Terengganu through Kelantan. The travelling time for both route is almost the same but on my trip there used the gerik road to reach Terengganu. Along the Gerik road you will see a elephant crossing road sign, this is not the typical road sign that you can see.


The first 2 picture is the surrounding of the jetty. Right after we arrive at the jetty I and my cousin went for lunch and as you can see from the picture above. The shop is famous for its soup ekor. The soup is boiled by using cow parts and it is very tasty. The other famous food is the peach colour gravy you see on the picture above. I do not know what it is made from but the taste sure is special and tasty. After finishing lunch is time to continue our journey to the island.
