If u come to kuantan... and go to Taman Rekreasi Gelora... do stop by for a snack.

An obscure shack selling out of the frying pan piping hot curry puffs, popiahs and cucur udang. It's quite well known to the kuantan people as the shop has trouble frying enough curry puffs to satisfy the hoards of people wanting to buy it back for their afternoon tea.


This bunch of warongs (stalls) are located at a large carpark adjacent to the childrens play area in Gelora. It's the back car park and not the earlier one (where people park to walk in the park) All the stalls sell ... well kuih or tea time stuff... lots of tables and chairs are set around under the trees for u to sit and eat.

I'll focus on one particular stall, facing the stalls... it's the left most... their signature or "famous" thing was curry puff. Quite alot of people has mentioned... 2nd best in kuantan... nvm... it's their most expensive snack... at RM0.60 per piece. Slightly spicy with potatoes and chicken strands in a curry mix... the pastry is nice too... i can't really say why people rush for it... but it's OK lah... quite good... can't say to die for lah...


I would wholeheartedly recommend their fried popiahs... at rm1.00 for 3 pieces... really bang for buck... more so than any of their other offerings. Nicely fried, crunchy on the outside and dense vegetably insides... with the chilli sauce... yum!


U can give a miss to the "cucur udang"... unless u prefer the crispy skin and soft insides kind... i'm a crispy all over fella.... it is also cheaply priced at RM1.00 for 3.(they chop to 4 parts each)


Drinks are aplenty around also... Coconut at RM2.00 per cup or RM4.00 per fruit, Teh Tarik is RM1.00 and many others too...The other stalls do sell lekor, goreng pisang... and other misc. kuihs... so this is the place for cheap and good tea-time snacks.
