To Pendang with ♥

Went to Pendang, Kedah, few weeks ago, in conjunction with my cousin's wedding.. Eventhough it's been sometimes, still wanna share...

I found Pendang interesting coz it's sucha nice place to be at... It's a small town located several KM away from Alor Setar... Just about 30 - 45 drive... The town is cute... I shall address it as a Humble City...

Regardless being outskirt, it has few attraction that made me feel that Pendang is special, in it's own way...

surrounded by Paddy Field (almost) all the way

The Accommodation

My uncle booked a cosy place for us to stay at Pendang Lake Resort..

X sangka.. Pendang has a beautiful n huge lake... it's quite a tourist attraction... but sayang, it has no access.. boleh tengok jer... probably got case kot... but for someone who was gonna sleep only a few meters away from the lake, do i need 2 go great length and find out? i doubt it... lol

It's quite a huge area here... It bring the concept of somekind of chalet / simplified hotel room. Memang comfortable. Basic need are there, towel, coffee making facilities, tv with astro, etc.. But there were no water heater... Nevertheless, service memang prompt.

this are the higher ends accommodation

We stayed in this block. Siap ada Dataran lagi... So it's suitable for sukaneka, poco2 n all... There is even a proper surau, meal venue and banquet hall available...

The Delicacies

One of the famous dish that i synonym to northern sate of Malaysia is non other than Laksa... So we took an evening drive around town yg agak chumells itew for a cuppa... So jumpalah this one place located next to Tabung Haji and along the RM2 shop lots... Not sure of the name, but this place is peaceful n clean...

the Laksa

Bihun Sup

Both tasted good - esp. the laksa... not too sure how much it cost as my Uncle (mum's bro) had the bill on him... TQ TQ...

Later in the evening, we had another JJCM session... Unlike Shah Alam & KL, most kedai and stalls dah tutup by 10... Lupa lak... Too contented with my cousins i guess... So we found this street of stalls... It's by the roadside, opposite Petronas (guess there's only 1 Petronas in Pendang)... Near the traffic light, precisely...

this Laksa is good but kurang masam
- had to add few squeezes of lime wedges...

This Fried Kway Teow is sangat sedapppp....

This Nasi Lemak was for breakfast...
It's yellow... with small chunk of Chicken n Ikan Bilis...
only RM 1.30...

Pulut Sambal - only 0.50 sen :)
- the serunding sangat sedappp...

The Ceremony

Moments of giving the final touch for the hantaran

The Solemnization (nikah) ceremony took place at Masjid in Kg. Alor Pudak... About 10 km from the place we stayed in... Sorry to say but we really felt sorry for the Masjid... It's like not been well taken cared off... The size is one thing, but the maintenance is another... Probably fund is a major constrain kot..

The Bride - guess she's better without her make up :)

Congrats dear cuz, Shazwan Salleh @ Wawan & Siti Khadijah :)

ps : pengapit lelaki x bley bla... hehehhe
