Do yourself a favour and get some delicious sushi from Empire Sushi today. Empire Sushi is a sushi take out joint/kiosk that is from Malaysia and their sushi is simply the best. The sushi may look small but they fill you up and most importantly, they are made fresh everyday. What I love about Empire sushi is that their sushi are constantly kept cool in a chiller to maintain it's freshness and I get to choose what sushi I want. Their sushi comes in many different flavours and ingredients. I particularly love the ebi tempura roll, salmon roll, grilled lobster sushi and many more. I can snap up to 20 pieces at 1 go and Im pretty sure you will do the same too. Mochi and onigiris are also sold and everything starts from RM1.10/piece onwards. That's really reasonably priced. Get some Empire Sushi today!

Nice place for gathering bbq and fishing. Nice to stay for short period. Tips; no too early check in or late check out otherwise you'll be extra charge and don't expecting too much. But, a short distance to POI Pantai Merdeka which is a lot of interesting activities here. Great place if u like fishing room spacious and clean. A beautiful and comfortable place.. the price is reasonable.. Thank you for providing the best accommodation for us as a family. #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #couplestrip #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #summervacation #beachlife

Pantai Merdeka, Kedah. My family and I take a trip to visit Pantai Merdeka and we used to come here before and it was different from nowadays as it beaches is rebuild with stone to protects the land from waves I think but it used to be a very popular destination for families to come and have picnic while swimming on the beaches.With the stones beside the beaches now it makes them look uninteresting and the sand is not very white sandy beach kind of style but still it's a good place to relax on the evening ar any time at all beside the shore with family :) #awesomepic #deliciousfood #foodie #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers

Popped into Café Amazon, Taman Sejati, Sungai Petani and was pleasantly surprised — it’s like stepping into a cozy little getaway tucked inside a city street. The tropical-themed interior gives off major chill vibes: wood finishes, leafy decor, and warm lighting that makes you want to slow down. It’s the kind of place where you could sit for an hour and not even notice time passing. Service was friendly and fast, and the prices are reasonable — definitely a solid spot for both casual hangouts and quiet solo coffee breaks. Whether you’re grabbing a drink to-go or settling in for a mid-day escape, the place hits a nice balance between comfort and convenience. ⸻ ⭐ Final Verdict: 8.5/10 Why I liked it: Great atmosphere, welcoming staff, and just the right kind of chill you want from a café. Will I return? Absolutely. Sungai Petani just got itself a new go-to coffee corner. 🌴

Zaza Resto Pub | Timisoara's great atmosphere pub 🍽️🍷 A great place to have a casual meal and enjoy a beer or cocktail. The food is varied and the atmosphere is great, so it's perfect for chatting with friends! There's music, but it's not too loud, so you can have a comfortable conversation :) Recommendation ★★★★☆ 📌I recommend it for a drink after work or as a place for a dinner gathering! #IndoorDate

#springitinerary My Phone’s Waterproof Case Saved the Day! 🌿🚣♀️📱 Just a few minutes into paddling, my phone took a dive into the beautiful mangroves—soaking wet but thankfully protected by its waterproof case! I really can’t stress enough how important a good waterproof case is for outdoor adventures! This kayaking trip through Sungai Merbok’s mangroves was such a fresh and exciting experience. Gliding through lush greenery, exploring caves, and feeling completely immersed in nature. 🌿☀️ A few tips for outdoor lovers: ✔️ Make sure to bring a waterproof case to keep your gear safe ✔️ Don’t forget sunscreen—otherwise, you might end up looking like a zebra! 🐾🦓 I also met some awesome fellow adventurers who filmed some great footage.

The cozy ambiance, decorated with a simple yet charming Christmas tree, instantly put us in the holiday spirit.

It was a refreshing, smooth blend that paired perfectly with our cheerful conversations. The coffee at Ang Ang’s is brewed with care, and you can truly taste the dedication in every sip.

#myhiddengems Standing on the mountain peak and looking far into the distance, you can have a panoramic view of the small town. In the distance, white clouds are lingering and hazy, giving people unlimited reverie. In addition to the main restaurants, there are also some stalls selling Malay snacks. The beautiful environment is suitable for checking in, but many places are still under renovation. I found that there is an auditorium here, which can be rented for wedding banquets or weddings. If you arrive at dusk, you should be able to take pictures of beautiful scenery.

#myhiddengems Nice small aquapark. There's 1 big pool and the pool depth are around knee area, suitable for kids and fun swimming. Many benches to sit and put your things, nice music, a cafe (selling nasi daging, nasi lemak, burger, hotdog etc). The price is affordable and the theme was interesting. I hope the management can make a bigger pool for teenager and adult to have fun to while waiting the children.

#myhiddengems I recommended this place because they made the best prawn mee soups. Mee refers to the egg noodles. Since I haven’t had this for a long time, I wanted to try it. The taste was authentic. I got to taste the sweet flavor juice coming from the prawn. I also tried their Kailan vegetable and thought it was delicious. I tried the fried rice my sister ordered, which was good too.

#myhiddengems Worth visiting. It is part of Jerai Geo Park (a geology heritage) and the exhibition center provides detailed information on Merbok geology and mangrove. It would be great if (1) there’s a guide or office workers at the exhibition center and souvenir shop (now closed) and (2) better maintenance of the jetty and the exhibition center. There is a boat river cruise package available here and also a restaurant.

#myhiddengems Very well kept. There are local fruit trees, local herbs, tree house, bicycle track, jogging track, playground. Crowded but still okay & comfortable because it is quite big. Need to climb a bit to the hill. Beautiful with pine tree, there was a wedding photoshoot here. Windy. Nice place to spend time with family. Especially for those who have kids because they'll enjoy playing there definitely.

#myhiddengems Is a newly built temple. Surrounding still very empty. There is that few attraction which was post buy the visitor. A must visit temple. Beautiful built, great temple to pray and walk around. 500 statues, some area still under construction. Easy parking. Overall good to visit, probably the future will have more. A morning visit might be a good idea to avoid traffic and hot sun.

#Kuala Lumpur Attractions AIMST Mosque is a beautiful and magnificent mosque 🕌🌟! I had the honor of visiting this temple and was immediately attracted by its atmosphere and architecture, as if I were in a religious temple⛪🙏 The exterior of the temple is full of unique designs and exquisite carvings, showcasing the art and aesthetics of Islam🌌🎨. I felt the religious peace and spiritual sustenance in the temple and prayed sincerely🕋🌿 AIMST Mosque also hosts religious ceremonies and cultural events, providing opportunities to share religious values ​​and learn from each other🗣️🌟. AIMST Mosque is a place where people can feel the exchange of religion and culture. Let us seek inner peace and balance under the protection of religion🕌🌟!

Imagine the mesmerizing view from the top, overlooking the cityscape or the surrounding natural beauty. The blend of urban and natural elements would surely create an unforgettable experience, offering a sense of tranquility and wonder amidst the hustle and bustle of the city below. We can have breakfast, lunch and dinner here too.
