#summervacay Salt, Smoke & Sungkai: The Must-Try Magic of Restoran Sun Kee” (Address: Kampung Baru, Sungkai, Perak, 35600) Restoran Sun Kee is a name that makes foodies sit up and pay attention—especially those chasing the legendary taste of salt-baked chicken done the old-school way. ‼️But here's your golden tip: don’t come without booking—or risk missing out on their most famous dish!🔥 The Star of the Show: Salt-Baked Chicken Sun Kee’s salted baked chicken is a true culinary gem. Wrapped traditionally and baked to perfection, the chicken is tender, fragrant, and infused with subtle herbal notes. The skin is slightly crisped, while the meat remains juicy and flavorful from hours of slow cooking. It’s so popular that the shop often sells out before lunch—visitors are advised to WhatsApp and pre-order to avoid disappointment. Even then, be prepared to wait around 30 minutes if you're lucky enough to grab the last one like I did! 🥬 More Than Just Chicken: Hidden Veggie & Meat Delights While the chicken is the headliner, Sun Kee’s side dishes deserve a spotlight too. Their Paku vegetables (wild ferns) are perfectly stir-fried—chewy, earthy, and fresh, with just the right amount of wok hei. Another must-try is their homemade meat roll (lor bak)—crispy on the outside, savory and juicy inside. It’s the kind of dish that steals your attention when you least expect it.

#springitinerary In July this year, I visited Felda Residence Hot Spring in Sungkai, Perak, about a 2-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur 🚗💨 I actually came to Sungkai a few times as a child, but only to visit the public hot springs. (Now with the pandemic, public pools feel a bit less appealing 😅). So when I came across this resort with private hot springs, I decided to give it a try! 🏡 Accommodation There were 6 of us, so we booked a 3-bedroom villa, which included: 3 bedrooms 🛏️ A living room 🛋️ A kitchen 🍳 And best of all — a private jacuzzi right at the entrance! 🛁✨ The overall space was very generous, the beds were clean and comfy. The villa cost us about RM700+ per night (we came on a weekend, so it may have been a bit pricier). 💦 Private Jacuzzi Experience The jacuzzi inside the villa was surprisingly spacious — all 6 of us could fit in comfortably! Around 3–4 PM, the water was extremely hot — like turn-your-skin-red hot! 🔥😳 Personally, I found the most comfortable soak times to be around 5–6 PM or in the early morning.#staycation

#newyearnewtrip #travelanywhere #thingstodo Last year, I stumbled upon a hidden gem—Felda Residence Hot Springs. Nestled amidst lush greenery, this tranquil spot offers more than just hot baths; it’s a chance to enjoy the therapeutic heat while cooking your own eggs in the natural, bubbling waters. I was amazed at how serene the experience felt, surrounded by misty mountains and the gentle hiss of steam. Travel tip: Don’t forget to bring your own eggs (or buy some on-site), and be sure to set a timer—those eggs cook faster than you might expect! The surrounding hot springs are perfect for a long soak afterward. The perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. If you crave a unique experience that combines nature’s wonder with a bit of fun, this is your place!

I originally thought it was just a park, but I didn't expect that the unremarkable house housed a wide variety of utensils and furnishings. It was like going back to the 1960s. The staff was friendly. I couldn't eat any more tea or snacks, so I didn't order any. I only drank the home-produced coffee. I thought it was a drink, but it wasn't. It had a unique and nostalgic taste! #Good place for families

Hidden in the green forest, Felda Residence Hot Springs allows you to immerse yourself in the green atmosphere and soak in the hot springs. It is super enjoyable and is especially suitable for a leisure trip to enjoy a quiet leisure time. There are hot spring pools, cold spring pools and natural steam pavilions, and you can also experience exciting water outdoor activities.

If you came from Kuala Lumpur, pls do come early in the morning as it gets crowded by time. Cannot bring food from outside. You can buy from inside, they sell nasi lemak, mee goreng, maggi cup and variety of drinks. As you get inside, do enjoy the scenery first before go to the waterpark. If you come early, there’s a place for you to sit but if you came late, you can bring tikar / mat to sit under the tree. Or khemah. I saw some family bring their khemah as well.#awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood

Location just near Sungkai Perak which take about 2 hours driving from Kuala Lumpur. Very perfect place to escape from noisy and routine environment. This hotel has great landscape and scenery. The room was spacious and very clean enough. Theme park is free for guest hotel. Got hot and cold springs. Also can boil egg..no need to bring our owns as they also sell the eggs. Just bring your tummy. Very calm and quiet place and suitable for honeymoon also. The hotel price is cheaper than what you earned as memories. Also got spa and reflexology.
