Angel's Heaven: A short getaway..

Over the weekend, I took a drive down with my family to Mengkarak - -a nice small, peaceful town in Pahang which if any of you would love a getaway, it's a perfect spot.

Why I'd say so because, you are practically out of town in the greenaries and best part is....which the bosses may not like to hear is ...there's not much communication via handphones!! Yippee!!

NO line = NO calls = NO work = PERFECT GETAWAY!!

You'd most probably be surrounded by oil palm estates and other various types of plantations as the one below. If you love the "kampung" side..you'd love this place. And because it has a vast oil palm plantation, this place is famous for fishing & hunting wildboar!! I'm not kidding..a good place to get an exciting experience on how to hunt for wildlife.

What I love most about this place is the way how the villagers live. The live such with such a simple lifestyle with almost no stress. People hear are so united that they almost know each and every person around the neighbourhood...what's more scarry to know is they even know every in and out of your daily activity. Hahaha...oh well..it's nice to know that people care for you when they try to invade your privacy sometimes. Besides the stress free living , these people know's how to enjoy the best food which we cannot get in town.

The moment I hit into this small town, along the riverside you can see many villages would catch Patin fish --still attached to the fishing rods, they display them by the roadside to sell. Guess what??!!?? The price of a good patin fish can cost up to RM290++. Thinking that going straight into a small town for good seafood would be cheap - -that's not the point in this small town yet it's very worth it eating there as you can get fresh fish and wild boar meat.

Lunch meal was great even though this time around we had fewer dishes at a restaurant in town.
