Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia
The whole journey from Singapore to Bentong was about 5 to 6 hours of driving by car. By the time we reached there, it was about 5.30pm. There is not many hotels around as Bentong is not a big town.
As we didn't booked our accommodation in advance, we have searched on the spot, and reviews from Google recommended Golden Peak Inn (GPI) Hotel. Although it is just a 2-star hotel, as it is newly opened for about 1+ years, their rooms are clean and the price is definitely affordable.

Complementary meal vouchers at I Love Yoo! are included too.
As we wanted to try the local specialty food, we forgo the meal vouchers.

For dinner, we had their local delicacies - fresh water fish.
One of the dishes that i found it interesting was 田七叶. Texture was like seaweed.

After dinner, as it was drizzling, we did not manage to walk around the town. We headed back to the hotel and rest early. However, i have managed to take some photos.
Good night everyone!

Went out for breakfast around 9am.
As Bentong is famous for their soy products, we tried their Yong Tau Fu.

After breakfast, we walked around the town - visited morning market and local houses. As it was Monday, everywhere was really quiet.

Definitely, Bentong is famous for their Mao Shan Wang durians and gingers. We definitely bought gingers back home as souvenirs and had durians there. Sadly, there aren't many available as the durians season is coming to an end.
As we interacted with the locals, we realised that the durians and gingers are actually from Bukit Tinggi, or Raub, and are sold at bigger town like Bentong.

After the walk, we had some more food - bread, and tauhway with ginger syrup. Yummilicious.
