They have got a new mosque.

Good bye to the old mosque.

Then effective from the Subuh Prayers on Friday 10 July 2009, they will pray at the new mosque built and just finished.

Yes, when I am in Kuantan, I often go and pray at that mosque, a small mosque on the outskirt of Kuantan Town, in a precint called Bukit Setongkol. Its just a small village mosque, Bukit Setongkol is just a village with majority of the population being lower middle class Malay Muslims. Though the Kuantan Town Chinese graveyard (and burial ground) is just neighbouring by less than 1 km towards Kuantan Town.

Everyone seems to be looking forward to start praying at this new mosque.

Food stall by the beach

Teluk Cempedak in Kuantan (Malaysia) has a beautiful beach. But for the local, its not the beach that they come for but the “roti canai” and “nasi lemak bungkus” that they come for in the morning (and different local food in the afternoon and at night),. They are common breakfast menu for the local (other dishes depending on the time of the day). In fact not only the local but some Asian visitors (and rare non-Asian visitors also come) especially from Singapore and from the outstation States are seen to regular the place. It’s a small eating stall, with red canvas top, situated just outside the Hyatt Hotel Kuantan (Malaysia).

The food? Passable. But the service is excellent! They have good people to take care of the customers. And the drink? All soft drinks, tea and coffee to your likings. The atmosphere? Healthy, you are right by the beach. The smiles and the laughter of the customers make you feel very at home.

When are they open? Every morning. And evening and early hours of the night. Different menu at different time. Give the place a try, and you may even like it, and may even come again, time and again.
