We didn't want a heavy lunch, so we went to Mustafa's Cendul for lunch... heh... a cendul/rojak place in Kuantan eh...
It's actually located at MFC (Midnight Food Centre) along the main road (Jln. Teluk Sesik) towards the Teluk Cempedak Beach... so it's quite near the house... thus convenient.
Well, cendul (Green pandan flavoured flour noodles in Ice shavings with cocnut milk and brown sugar) and Mamak Rojak was our meal. The cendul here is not bad, abeit without the fragrant version of gula melaka. The shop self proclaims itself as the "best" in Kuantan... it's good... but i wonder... the best? We took the cendul kacang variation (with red beans) [RM1.30]
the rojak was better IMHO, slightly dif... in that they give less vege and more crispy stuff... in thick peanut sauce... super yummy!... and filling. [RM2.80]
Hannah for the first time tried the rojak after much coaxing by my mom... and she finally discovered treasure! hah!... all my telling her it wasn't spicy... couldn't convince her... must have grand-ma to tell, only can...
the last time we came to Teruntum Park, Kuantan we tried their traffic play area... and missed out on their mini-zoo...
the mini-zoo seems to be run by the govt. and it's totally free...even though its not exactly super maintained and the enclosures are not world-class... it's not bad... besting some of our local zoo's even.
anyway here are some pics of the animals they had in the zoo.. ranging from bears to monkeys and even a couple of ostriches...
as u can imagine... the kids had a super time... 
we also tried out their snack shop this round. Lekor, sotong goreng, teh tarik and coconut drinks with a super breeze... ahhh... relaxing....
there was a sign also saying the park was in for a refurbishment in the children play area... so we can expect only better things... also take note, there are tons of wild monkeys going around... some even stealing the caged animals food!
heh... its odd to be eating "French" food in Kuantan... u would expect it in KL or something... There was this shop in Ampang (behind the main Jalan Ampang-near Ampang Point, same row like an italian and mexican restaurant) which we never ventured into due to its exclusiveness or something... it just says... only welcomed if u are a fine dining person...
well, we came to this restaurant Le Parisien in Kuantan... no such air of high class dining... but it did say french... apparently this restarant was started up by an authentic french guy... with a gals name... :p
anyway... we did enjoy our meal there... abeit smaller portions then normal... but taste wise... not bad... and didn't blow our wallets at the same time
Hannah had "French onion soup" and Gratin(mash baked with cheese on top)
Julie took their duck special... interesting... with peach!
I went for their other speciality... chicken on cream fettucini... nice!
point to note... they all had frenchy names for the food... which we cant remember... i lost the receipt so i cant give exact pricing... but the total bill was rm50+ [5%govt tax... no service charge]
