Dining
Deliciously aromatic, some of Pahang’s traditional dishes are said to
have been created for past royalty. Pahang’s local offerings such as Mi
Calong, Laksa Pahang, Opor Pahang, Puding Raja, Jeneral Mahbob,
Akok Beserah and Nasi Periuk Kera (Pitcher Plant Rice) are worth
trying when visiting this state. The best places to find authentic
Pahang specialities are Jerantut, Kuala Lipis, Temerloh and Pekan.
Temerloh, famous for its silver catfish-based dishes, is also known as
Bandar Ikan Patin (Silver Catfish Town).
Getting Here
Kuantan is situated about 260km from Kuala Lumpur, which is
approximately 3 ½ hours’ drive via the East Coast Highway. Its Sultan
Ahmad Shah Airport in Kuantan receives both international and
domestic flights from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA),
Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang and most capital cities all
over the country. Air-conditioned express buses to Pahang are also
available, departing from the Puduraya Bus Terminal and Hentian
Pekeliling. Keretapi Tanah Melayu or Malayan Railway provides rail
services to Mentakab and Kuala Lipis from Kuala Lumpur and Kota
Bharu in Kelantan.
Getting Around
Buses and taxis are readily available around Kuantan. Taxis can be
found at the city’s main hubs such as Kompleks Teruntum, Berjaya
Megamall and Jalan Mahkota. To reach other towns in Pahang,
outstation buses are available at Terminal Makmur. Tioman Island is
accessible by boat and ferry from Tanjung Gemok in Pahang and
Mersing in Johor, and by Berjaya Air’s daily direct flights from the
Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang and also from Singapore.
