✈️ Business Trip with a Local Twist: Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia 🇲🇾 Duration: 2 Days 1 Night Purpose: Business + Light Sightseeing Accommodation: DJ Citi Plaza Hotel & Suites ⸻ 📅 Day 1 – Arrival & Evening City Walk My business trip brought me to Kuala Terengganu, a charming coastal city rich in culture and local flavors. After completing my work duties, I took a peaceful evening walk along Pesisir Payang — a scenic waterfront promenade with beautiful sunset views. It’s a great place to unwind after a busy day. 🍽️ Food Highlight: I tried the famous rojak ayam from a local stall — large portion, flavorful sauce, and a satisfying mix of textures. Highly recommended! ⸻ 📅 Day 2 – Chinatown & Local Delights Finished my work in the morning and headed to Chinatown in the afternoon. A quick tip: most shops and kopitiams (local coffee shops) close after lunch, so visiting in the morning is ideal to fully enjoy the area. 🍜 What I Ate: • Seafood mee hoon soup – fresh ingredients and flavorful broth. • Local coffee and snacks – the perfect way to relax before heading back. • Bought some keropok lekor (traditional fish crackers) — a must-buy local snack! ⏱️ After lunch, it was time to return home. Short trip, but full of discoveries. ⸻ 🏨 Hotel Review: DJ Citi Plaza Hotel & Suites • ⭐ Great location — walking distance to Chinatown, local markets & eateries • 🛏️ Clean, spacious, and comfortable rooms • 💼 Ideal for short business or leisure stays ⸻ 🍴 Food Recommendations • Yin Yin Café – Popular for pork and seafood noodles • On The Way Kopitiam – Wide variety of local dishes and excellent keropok lekor ⸻ 📌 Travel Tip If you have extra time, consider extending your stay for a quick island getaway! • 🏝️ Redang Island • 🏝️ Perhentian Islands Both offer crystal-clear waters, snorkeling, and unforgettable beach experiences just a short boat ride away. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Kuala Terengganu may be a small city, but it’s rich in charm, culture, and flavors. Whether you’re here for work or leisure, it’s worth taking time to explore its hidden gems. I’ll definitely be back — next time, with my beachwear packed #KualaTerengganu #BusinessTripDiaries #LocalEats #HiddenGems #RedangIsland #PerhentianIsland #WorkLifeBalance #MalaysiaTravel#thingstodo
