Travel Tips
Money
FYI - There is no cash point on the Perhentian Islands. Either take lots of cash with you or go to Jerteh, 10min by taxi from Kuala Besut before you go to the Islands. But it seems that credit cards are readily accepted at resorts (if you don't mind putting food/activities on your room). By anonymous on March 31, 2008

STORIES
I got it from my Mamak
 Mamak stalls are restaurants in Malaysia mostly run by muslim Indians. Traditionally they started out as road side stalls but due their importance to Malaysian social life, hence their number of customer, there are big mamak restaurants and even chains now too. Mamak stalls are a true multi-racial melting pot, whether they be Malay, Indian, Chinese or others, this is place where everybody meets for a snack or a drink with friends, business clients, breakfast or just watching football at night. Many mamak stalls operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. You want your Roti Canai and Teh Tarik at 4am in the morning? No problem. Welcome to Malaysia! Found out what "mamaking" is all about.
