Pantai Pandak > Dinner at Golden Dragon Restaurant

Pantai Pandak

This beach right here deserves its own post. It was breathtaking.

Photos could not reflect the beauty of it.

Pantai Pandak was a 20-25 minute drive from Pasar Payang.

We departed at about 6pm so that we could catch the sunset at about 6.30pm.

The beach was a pretty long stretch (with enough space for everyone to "soak in the moment").

"The waves came crashing, wave after wave;

Not too much, not too rushed, taking its own pace each time it rushed on shore.

Every grain of sand my toes sink into each time, with every wave which washes ashore,

I feel alive, I feel peace, I feel like I can be one with the sea.
Now then, will I be able to travel the world if I were to become one as the sea?"

Next up was dinner! Being in Terengganu, we wanted to get a good seafood dinner.

We found a restaurant, Golden Dragon Restaurant, which was recommended on Tripadvisor (No. 2 in Terengganu) and decided to give it a shot. 

This was probably one of the best decision throughout our entire trip.

Food: 4.5/5

We ordered jumbo prawns (x 4; no pictures because it was the first dish and was wolfed down); fried oyster omelette; steamed fish and stir fry beans (no pictures because its just beans, lol). Anyways, the jumbo prawns were huge, and probably was about an average palm size. Taste was good and not too salty, yet flavorful. 

Price: 4/5

The whole meal only cost us RM 130, and this included drinks for the the four of us.

Location/Parking:4/5

Located in Chinatown, there are plenty of parking lots around. As dinnertime was past 6pm, there was no parking fee. Chinatown is pretty busy but we found a parking space once we turned into Chinatown so I would say that parking shouldn't be too big a problem.

Toilet: 3/5

Basic but kind of dangerous for kids as you will have to pass through a very hot kitchen (toilet is just beside the kitchen and there are no barriers what so ever on the way). Not very clean but bearable.

Must get: "Pau"/Buns from the shop next to Golden Dragon Restaurant. The shop mainly sells "bak kut teh"(a Chinese pork rib dish served in Chinese herbs broth), but they sell pau right out front.

We got some for breakfast and they tasted really good. Plus, they were pretty reasonably priced, at RM 12 for 8 "pau"s.

Next up: the long awaited Lang Tengah!
