Tour of Pahang - Temerloh

One of the highlights of our Pahang tour was the opportunity to meet up with Mr. and Mrs. Lai - Junshi’s parents.

We had arranged in advance to have dinner together on the day we arrived in Mentakab. As we made our way from the hotel to their home in Temerloh, we were caught in a torrential downpour. Visibility was poor, and the road markings were barely discernible. Thankfully, my trusty Garmin GPS guided us faithfully through the rain, bringing us right to the doorstep of their home.

Of course, no visit to Temerloh would be complete without sampling its culinary pride - Patin fish. With the mighty Pahang River flowing through the town, it’s no surprise that this freshwater delicacy is a local staple.

The next morning, we reunited with the Lais for a hearty breakfast in Mentakab, followed by a casual tour of both Mentakab and Temerloh. Their warmth and hospitality were truly heartwarming.

In a final thoughtful gesture, they even accompanied us in their own cars all the way to the outskirts of Temerloh, ensuring we were safely on the right road toward our next destination - Sungai Lembing.

Mr. Lai said that it was his first time crossing the suspension bridge that spans across the mighty Sg. Pahang. I also managed to capture a photo of this lovely couple when I was following them from behind.
