This weekend was our visit north week. So as early as we could (aka. 9.45am) we departed Kuantan... to the north... our plan is go Cukai then Kijal, both in Terengganu then back...

Most people associate Cukai as Kemaman ... but in reality Cukai is the main town of Kemaman District, Terengganu.... famous for Hai Peng Kopitiam and also Stuffed Crabs... (that will be another day). So when people mention famous Hai Peng or Stuffed Crabs in Kemaman... it's in Cukai, Kemaman in Terengganu.

so... how was the original Hai Peng?

one word...

...disappointing

We had expected the "original" Hai Peng to blow our socks off... alas IMHO Hai Peng, Kuantan is actually better. All my anticipation after having tried Kuantan Hai Peng... which is darn good already and thinking the "original" could be even better... sigh...

anyways... this Hai Peng looks almost like the Kemaman Kopitiam Chain in Kuantan... in taste and also decor. It seems the Kemaman Kopitiam Chain ripped off Hai Peng Totally... even their bland taste... :p

their special original toast was not too bad... peanut butter and bananas in toast... cool eh... so so taste only... i can make better... kakaka...


but whatever my opinion is, the place is jammed packed from the time it opens till it closes.... we might try their own signature dishes next time... asian spagetti and their ice blend... hopefully that will save it...
