Think you’ve seen all there is to Malaysia? Think again. This time, we bring you to three of Malaysia’s hidden gems — Kuantan, Langkawi and Kota Bharu.
But it’s not so simple, no. We were given challenges by Scoot, to split up in teams of two, and in each country:
1. The search for the most thrilling and action-packed experiences
TEAM KUANTAN
00:41 – Bukit Panorama
If you’re up for a hike, this is it. No one else to disturb your quiet time with nature.
00:59 – Sungai Pandan Waterfall
After your hike up Bukit Panorama, head to this waterfall to cool off and ease the tension in your body~
TEAM KOTA BHARU
01:16 – Perhentian Islands (Three Point Snorkelling)
Just an hour away from the main city of Kota Bharu, there lies the beautiful Perhentian Islands, a snorkelling haven, if you must. 🙂
01:27 – Windmill Point
The stairs can get quite sketchy, so be careful if you’re headed there. But at the top, you get this panoramic view of the teal-blue waters of Perhentian Islands!
TEAM LANGKAWI
01:41 – Umgawa Zipline
You get to zip past canopies and canopies and even a beautiful waterfall!
01:58 – Langkawi Skycab
02:05 – Langkawi Skybridge
Take one of the steepest cable cars up to the Langkawi Skybridge for the best views ever!
2. The hunt for the best dining experiences
TEAM KOTA BHARU
02:18 – Siti Khadijah Market
If you want local fare, this is where it’s at. Fresh produce and a whole load of other food stuffs for ya!
TEAM KUANTAN
02:35 – Restoran Hoi Yin
Probably one of the best curry in Kota Bharu — with the creamy curry and the tender meat. Absolute yumz~
02:47 – Kula Cakes
TRY THEIR MANGO CHEESECAKE!! ‘Nuff said.
02:55 – Ana Ikan Bakar Petai
Petai can come across pretty strong, but this particular dish served here is just SEDAPPPPP. Even the team who weren’t huge fans of Petai were converted!
TEAM LANGKAWI
03:11 – Sunset Dinner Cruise
The best way to end the day — not only with a cruise, but a SUNSET DINNER cruise. With the most gorgeous views along with a satisfied tummy.
03:33 – Pantai Cenang
The nightlife here in Langkawi is pretty damned hype if we have to say so ourselves!!
3. Visit to the most iconic attractions
TEAM LANGKAWI
03:52 – Kilim Karst Geoforest
Spend the morning speed-boating through the mangroves and visiting fish farms and caves.
TEAM KOTA BHARU
04:09 – Wat Phothivihan
This is where the largest reclining Buddha in Asia sleeps!
04:20 – Wat Machimmaram
TEAM KUANTAN
04:25 – Sungai Lembing Mines
Take a tour through an actual tin mine! Imagine if it were completely pitch black…
