Jumaat lepas, Fizi and me had a short getaway to Cherating.
It's really been a while since the last time kitorang bercuti so it's really a long due holidays, although it's quite short. Yelah susah nak plan lepak same-same camni since both of us busy with our own things to to.
I made the booking online for Impiana Resort Cherating after considering the reviews.
Rate was RM258 per night which was ok-lah.
At first wanna settle for a the rustic Tanjung Inn but knowing Fizi he'd prefer a decent hotel to stay even just for 1 night. LOL
So, off we travel to Cherating which was about 2.5 hours drive from KL.
We arrived Cherating around 6pm and quickly find ourselves heading to Impiana in no time.
Check in was a breeze although no welcome drinks as indicated on their website.
It's not really a big deal for me, but if you don't practice it might as well remove it from the website, coz other guests may be fussy about it. I did a review on TripAdvisor too and mentioned this.
We booked the Superior room but was given a Superior Duluxe room which was great.
I like the roomy, mini-suite kind of spec and the 6-poster bed (haha)
which was actually 2 beds combined together.

All the rooms here a facing the beach and there's also suites, suitable for family.
Impiana Resort Cherating is a 20-year old hotel and you can see the aging fixtures of this resort.
But it's good to see that the management is doing something about it. At the time we stayed, the timber flooring for the walkway was being restored.

Since it's quite late in the evening and it just rained as we reached, we just lepak in the room.
That night we crossed the state border to Kemamang to have dinner, in search of good seafood place.
We ended up at PC Ikan Bakar near Geliga where we had Siakap Stim Lemon with rice, which was fulfilling.
The next morning, had breakfast at Impiana's Kedai Kopi.
I was expecting Nasi Dagang or Nasi Minyak for breakfast, but they don't have it, instead they have roti jala which I found quite tasteless. Didn't really try the other food on serve, so just had my coffee and watch Fizi eats.
Lepas da abis makan, we checked out and it's time to jalan-jalan.

Sebelum bertolak pulang ke KL, stopped by Kuala Kemamang for this:
Haaaaa..kalu nok kenal, ni lah satar.
Kedai jual satar paling femes kat Kuala Kemamang ni ialah Aziz Satar (mcm nama seniman plak) haha
Nak ke warung ni senang je sebab dia terletak kat jalan nak ke Kuala Kemamang.
Dari Federal Route 3 (Kuantan-Cukai) masuk simpang tiga kat Masjid Geliga & Hentian Bas Ekspress Cukai. Pastu ikut je jalan nak ke Kuala Kemamang, nanti sebelah kanan ade warung warna kuning dan biasanya dipenuhi orang.
Kat Aziz Satar ni bukan saja ade satar sebab warung ni berkonsepkan foodcourt.
Di stall satar ada jual otak-otak, pais ikan dan udang.
4th Stop: Pantai Cherating
Then, lepak sini cuci-cuci mata, sambil menikmati suasana sunset (walaupun sunset xcantik kat pantai timur)
5th Stop: Teluk Cempedak
Sampai sini dah malam, so lepak kat McD sebelum teruskan perjalanan balik.
