Who are the Americans in Kuantan

Americans in Kuantan

Three of us working together have spent a lot of time in Kuantan in the past three months. We are Americans, even if we have differing back ground and not necessarily born in the States (two out of the three of us were born elsewhere)

When you are in a place for a long time with the same people, it starts to get a bit underwhelming, especially a place in a foreign land, such as Malaysia. Malaysia is a very nice place to be, but Kuantan is smaller city on the East coast of the country and Trip Advisor can only take you so far with places to eat, things to do and sites to see.

As a side note, we have daily sightings of Bus 602!

So, here we are, rating the area as Americans, with as honest opinions as possible.

Be forewarned that the majority of blogs were written by our eldest member of the team and, sometimes, his words don't quite match up with reality. I've tried my best to link the actual places and people where available, since you will have a very difficult time to find Def Leopard in Kuantan (Actual name of the restaurant is Bayleaf Steak House). We no longer ask why, we simply accept and move on and actually refer to the places by their Ericnisized names.

Here is a few translations as a quick reference for you:

Def Leopard - Bayleaf Steak House
Hyperbole - Hyderabad
Hazuki Mikada - Hana Mizuki
Cochilee Monster - Croque Monsieur
E La Wadi - Lila Wadi
Cool-A- Cakes - Kula Cakes
Umbok - Ombok
Lemongrass TIE Café - Lemongrass Thai Cafe
Somebody named Wang Bakery - Sungai Wang Bakery

We hope that you enjoy our travel blog and can actually find useful information if you ever find yourself in Kuantan!
