I still remember Bintulu's airport used to be situated right in the center of the town. When you arrived you no need to worry if you can't catch up a cab as you're landed just about 500 meters from the busy little town of Bintulu. Now, the new airport is far away from town and make sure to leave the Bintulu town way ahead of time afraid you might missed your flight, especially if you are boarding AirAsia!
The housing estate is getting more, new shop is coming up and development is still in progress. Its landscape is beautiful especially if you are driving alongside the old airport road with trees are lining up which provide nice and scenic view and shade. Tanjung Batu is just a couple of minutes drive away. Was there with a friend from Universiti Putra Malaysia, Bintulu campus for a drink and chat. It was a lovely breezy afternoon!
The picture shows Tanjung Batu beach during its low tide. It is a perfect place for an outing with families and friends and of course a perfect track for hardcore joggers too!
The center of the town. Love to visit the open air market to see the local produce brought in to be sold by the local communities.
The pillar full of dragon from a Chinese temple facing the Kemena River.
We had our breakfast at a 'Popular Cafe'. I ordered a plate of ' gravy fried noodle' (mee goreng basah). It wasn't the best but it sure is delicious. I have always love this noodle as it is quite different from the way it is prepared in Kuching. If you travel up north, make sure you get a taste of this noodle because it is simply delicious!
As we're there for an important occasion, we had a chance to be entertained by one of our uncles with his melodious sape music. It was a perfect night for all of us and wish i could have know how to play sape too.
Cheers Bintulu! Will visit you again!
