The first destination of our Malaysia trip was Sungai Lembing. It took us quite some time to reach the resort in Sungai Lembing. We crossed the 2nd link at about 7:45am and had breakfast at 2nd link rest area and had lunch at Segamat, thus we only reached Sungai Lembing at about 3:30pm. First thing at the resort is a welcome durian by the owner of the resort. Nothing great about the durian but just durian. The village feel from the mediacorp Kumpong Ties vs the real feel is so much difference. Once in the kumpong, I could heard the insect calling, the smell of kumpong, fresh air, birds chirping, greenery, water rushing sound. Let me use the pictures to tell you the story.
The next set of pictures are the surrounding at Sungai Lembing. We really did not visit much as time does not permit us to do so. Visited a hanging bridge, provision shop, food centre and Panaroma Hill.
The Panaroma hill that was within walking distance from our resort. We woke up early and started climbing the hill (really, it was just a hill of 250m) at about 5:30am. We read that it will take about an hour to climb so we set of early to catch the 6:30am sunrise. The climb was tough and it was pitch dark that we need to carry torch light to light up the steps. We were quite enthusiatic but the tireness and hungry stomach caught up with us. With just 20% climb, we needed rest. Actually, we did not know how long is the climb. We push on, taking rest frequently, I took about 4 rests and the pace was slowing down. In fact, we reached the peak within 40mins and it was still pitched dark when we reached.
Overall, Sungai Lembing (林明) is a nice place particularly for those stay in a city such as I. I used to stay in Kampong till the age of 7 when I moved into HDB flat. I would catch small fished in longkang (stream), roamed around the village, bath from well water. So, I love to get back to kampong once a while to enjoy the kampong feel. Other thought is to let my son enjoy a little of the kampong life. I wish I could have stayed there for another nite to explore other part of Sungai Lembing.

Sunrise from Panaroma Hill, too bad the cloud had blocked the sun.
Fog above the Lembing town
After watching sunrise, head back down to the town
Back lane! The fog could still be seen in the morning about 8am.
The wet market and further down is the food centre. The residents rode their motorbike for marketing.
Nice and tasty Char Siew Wanton Noodle, costs RM3.5 (S$1.4). It is very inexpensive if I used Singapore dollar standpoint. If I were to work and stay there, and have this at RM3.5, I find that it is expensive.
