Entering the restaurant and sitting down to order our food, I felt very comfortable. The atmosphere is very welcoming.

Ok, the desserts were a little under-whelming but only because all the food we ate was so good. Not a fault to report with our food. Good quality and good service all around. Will definitely eat here again!

Hazy Kuantan September 2015

The annual open burning across Indonesia brings trouble to large parts of Malaysia as winds blow the smog our way. Kuantan is now blanketed in a thick layer of haze which has now reached unhealthy levels.

The haze limits visibility of Bukit Sekilau as seen from Jalan Bukit Sekilau, Kuantan

The haze in Kuantan almost entirely covers The Zenith Hotel as seen from Berjaya Megamall

We are trying to avoid going out at all, only for necessary things like filling up our drinking water and getting food etc. We decided to keep our daughter home from school today as the haze had worsened considerably.

Today's air quality index for places in Malaysia including Kuantan at a rating of 144 - unhealthy

To add one bombshell to another, we also don't have any water at all for today and tomorrow. Fortunately we were aware of the arrival of a water tanker which came to provide water for our block. I made 4 journeys carrying two buckets of water to add to our storage.

Wen Rou's birthday party at Restoran Kamunlau, Tanjung Lumpur, Kuantan

Wen Rou is my English student and attends class together with her brother, Joshua as they prepare for a move to England to further their studies. She has turned 21 and celebrated at Restoran Kamunlau in Tanjung Lumpur, Kuantan.

I took on the role of photographer for the time we were there for my own personal hobby, but also to hopefully pass on some memorable photos for Wen Rou.

Restoran Kamunlau has ample parking space and is located just off the east coastline in the Tanjung Lumpur area of Kuantan

The restaurant gradually filled up with friends and family

Sweet and sour chicken, chicken curry, fried rice and noodles were among the dishes on the menu. Was very satisfied with the food

Birthday Party at Rocana Hotel, Kuantan

I'm amazed at how many events we attend, to which we were invited as guests, where I become the main photographer. People have iphones and ipads and take pictures at certain points, but it's quite rare that a photographer with a professional camera snaps shots of all aspects of the event. That's what happened when we attended Thalia's birthday party at Rocana Hotel, Kuantan, recently.

Thalia attends the same primary school as my daughter and the respective parents are friends and gym buddies.

No children's party is complete without candy. And plenty of it.

Children enjoyed a number of party games such as blowing up a balloon as large as possible

Great party even though we left a little early as the girls had to sleep. Thanks to Thalia's family for the invitation. Hope you guys like these photos!
