60 Tip Mengembara

In November 2012, a Malaysian publisher, Telaga Biru Sdn Bhd has published my manuscript "60 tip Mengembara" (60 tips for traveler) in Bahasa Malaysia. The book is about tips on travelling: before travel, during travel and at places of destination, and post travel.

The book guides the reader on how to become a good Muslim traveler. It touches on clothes, bag, passport and visa, duration of travel, cost, halal food, shopping, and many more. It may be interesting as tips are real, based on experience and my observation during 32 years of international travel. It is a comprehensive checklist for traveler who wish to travel overseas.

This book is available at MPH, Popular, Pustaka Mukmin (KL) and other book stores. Look at religion section, then you can spot it.

Terengganu's Dessert

This one is one of the Terengganu's traditional dessert, usually consume in the afternoon.


It is made of sago with green peas inside. Now, they have made some innovation by inserting jackfuit as the filler. The sweet gravy made from coconut cream, a little bit of ginger (sliced) and halba. Terengganu folks named this dessert as "asang gupa".

This dessert can be found in most market or evening markets.

Happy tasting.
