    Cycling At Taman Botani, Putrajaya

    Cycling At Taman Botani, Putrajaya – I like cycling, do you? I would buy myself a folding bike and go cycling in the city if I still resides in Penang. The problem is I do not stay at a place long for now. I am now in KL where cycling is not a favor transport and activities, I have to go to Putrajaya which is more bicycle friendly, there’s the Botanical Garden (Taman Botani) of Putrajaya that provides bicycle rental service and you can ride in the huge park all day long.
    RM4/hour for the weekend and you can release your perspiration and inhale the fresh oxygen in the garden and enjoy a relaxing weekend away from the hustle and bustle Kuala Lumpur city. That was my weekend few weeks back with my girlfriend.
    Not really a good day for photography, the weather sucks.
  • Tea Spa Corner At Cherok Tokun Hill, Bukit Mertajam

    Tea Spa Corner At Cherok Tokun Hill, Bukit Mertajam

    Tea Corner At Tokun Hill, Bukit Mertajam – Enjoying a cup of Chinese tea, biting a yummylicious herbal egg and eating a bowl of Chinese noodle in the forest, listening to the chirping of birds and the melody of insects, it’s just so relaxing. But then, you have to ignore the annoying mosquitoes.

    In Bukit Mertajam, there’s a forest reserved + park + hiking trail and that’s Cherok Tokun Hill. It’s a famous spot for the local to do some hiking and at there you can spot a little hut that houses the Tea Spa which serves a little snack food and tea.

    I did not go to hiking, but I went to check out the Tea Spa on a lovely afternoon as I was craving for herbal egg char ye dan. Actually I was just thinking on eating the herbal egg, but then since Hueisean and me were there already, might as well order another bowl of Chinese noodle with pork.

    The herbal eggs were good and the herbal taste did actually presence in the egg itself. As for the noodle, it’s not my type of noodle, a little bit of spiciness does taste better, somehow, I do not fancy the noodle. The noodle is more like a thick beehoon, if you know what I mean.

    Well, it’s a good place to sit in the afternoon, sip some Chinese tea, have a little chat with your friends in the nature. It’s nice to getaway from the polluted city.


    I’ve forgotten what cartoon character is this! Anyone can enlighten me? According to the boss, this is to scare away the monkeys at there.


    Look! Monkeys are everywhere, luckily I did not park my car at there.

  • Short Short Trip To Cherok Tokun Recreational Forest, Bukit Mertajam

    Hello people. How are you? Malaysia’s Day ahead, Happy Malaysia Day! Woohoo.

    So back in Penang few weeks back, I went to Cherok Tokun, the famous recreational forest at Bukit Mertajam. It’s a really very very very very short trip. It’s not 5 minutes, but I guess about 15 minutes, include using the toilet and buying food.

    I was actually curious about this place and have heard about it from friends and Internet, and I wanted to know how it looks like and how to go, so I went to check it out the place with Hueisean as my guide to the place.

    It’s pretty easy to go and you probably can find it with a GPS. I don’t really know how to write the guide here. So sorry.

    The place is in fact similar to Botanical Garden in Penang, though it has smaller entrance, and it utilize the existing forest area and turn it into a recreation park. There’s jogging track and hiking trail for park lover.

    There’s also store selling fruits and drinks, as well as a mini tea-house that allow you to enjoy some Chinese tea, and light Chinese dish like tea egg, mee tiao noodle.

    The mini tea-house is the best thing at this place in my opinion, which Botanical Garden doesn’t have. Enjoy light meal, chit-chat with friends and enjoy the beauty of nature at the same time. It feels so good.

    Unfortunately, I didn’t get to try because I was in a hurry. Gonna go check back this place in other time. Have you been there before?
