Jalan-jalan: Sungkai Hot Spring

A bunch of us had decided to visit the Sungai Klah Hot Spring at Sungkai, Perak.

The journey begun with us travelling from Klang at 8am to Sungkai. It took us less than 2 hours to reach  Sungkai exit. Upon reaching, get yourself tickets to the hotspring at the ticketing counter. It has 2 entrances to the hotspring. One next to the Felda Residence and another a little further inside.

Yeah. We're some funny weird people. Malaysia is already hot and humid but we're getting excited about a HOTspring. That something I call "double boiling" XD

 TRAP: Taman Rekreasi Air Panas
Dont worry. No traps.

 Some springs are boiling hot. So, hold the kids tight.

Of course mountain spring are not hot. It's cold. Kids play happily here.

Hotspring's must have snack: Boiled Egg

<

 It was superb! Get your eggs at the counter right at the egg boiling spring. It is 5 eggs (raw) for RM2. Some or mostly brought their eggs from home.
Leave the eggs in the nets provided in the egg boiling spring and wait. After 6-7 minutes, hard boiled eggs are ready. I just felt the eggs tasted different from those cooked at home. Hot Spring eggs are more juicy (the egg yoke is not dry, not that it's not cooked), and the white egg is 'bouncy', similar to delicious fishball and it has smooth texture that makes you want more >.<

 They also have private pools which they called it family spa. You can enjoy a private gathering with your family at RM75 per hour. Note: Be sure to book in advance. We didnt managed to enjoy it because it was fully booked by others.

Review: Overall, it was fun. However, we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the springs. It was not cleaned, probably because of the packed visitor each day during school holidays. Other than than, RM10 is worth to every penny.
