📅 Day 1 – Kickstart with Kopi & Canai Power
Morning
• Touchdown in KT and zoom straight to Roti Canai Pok Ripin
Warning: Crispy outside, fluffy inside. Might ruin all future roti for you.
• Snap some OOTDs with teh tarik foam moustache ✨
Afternoon
• Chill at Kopi Payong, Batu Rakit – retro vibes, iced kopi, and enough TikTok-worthy corners to keep you busy
• Try not to buy all the kuih near the counter (no promises)
Evening
• Sunset sesh at Masjid Terapung (Floating Mosque)
You + silhouette pose + glowing sky = influencer level
• Dinner at Pantai Batu Burok or drive-thru keropok lekor + coconut shake combo
⸻
📅 Day 2 – Island Life Choose You: Pulau Kapas Edition
Morning
• Early boat to Pulau Kapas – clear waters, white sand, and “I’m never coming back” energy
• Snorkel, swim, or just lay there and question all your life decisions (peacefully)
Afternoon
• Lunch by the sea: fresh grilled fish + sambal belacan = beach therapy
• Optional kayak session or nap under a pokok kelapa with your waterproof speaker blasting Yuna
Evening
• Back to the mainland with salty hair and sun-kissed face
• Dinner somewhere local and chill (or just crash and dream of turtles)
⸻
📅 Day 3 – Coffee Waves & Santai Days
Morning
• Breakfast round 2: Canai again? Yes. You’re in Terengganu.
• Explore a bit more of Batu Rakit coastal views — it’s giving “fishing village meets IG aesthetic”
Afternoon
• Santai Cafe, Setiu time: beachfront chilling with chocolate frappe & pastry
Bonus: pretending you’re in a music video while staring at the ombak like it owes you money
Evening
• Free & easy: firefly hunting? Night picnic by the beach? Or… just more keropok lekor?
• Optional: bring your own speaker, play Siti Nurhaliza, and slow-mo your way through the shoreline
⸻
📅 Day 4 – One Last Kopi, Then Ciao Terengganu 😭
Morning
• Coffee pit stop: Kopi Payong again, because goodbyes taste better with ice cubes
• Quick last-minute hunt for batik, keropok, or kuih as souvenirs (read: snacks for the ride home)
Afternoon
• Final view of the Masjid Terapung — say goodbye with peace in your heart and sambal in your bag
• Head home, already planning the next trip back
⸻
🌴 Terengganu Tips 🌴
✅ Bring your appetite
✅ Sunscreen + powerbank = must
✅ Always say yes to second rounds of roti canai
✅ Don’t fight the ombak, vibe with it
