The Puteri Restaurant is a restaurant at the Keriang Hill resort.
I went there for lunch, usually they open the restaurant after 12 pm. They have a Malay menu and western menu as well. But during my visit there only the Malay menu was available.
I tasted the Char Kuey Teow, the food tastes good, the restaurant is spacious, and feel cold and comfortable during the lunch time. Outside have terrace near to the lake, but because of the time and weather i chose to stay indoor.
The prices are very affordable like ordinary restaurants, they serve free plain water.

Gunung Keriang or Mount Keriang is 250 million year old lump of mainly
limestone rock. The shape of the mount resemble an elephant and
reaches a height of 218 meters.
The Mount Keriang is 10 km from Alor Setar, according to Google Maps.
If you are a beginner hiker, Gunung Keriang, is the best track to start your first hiking adventure.
For me, i am a beginner hiker, I feel the need to go back to nature, to hear the chirp of the birds, the need to breathe fresh air, the need to be active physically. I was doing a lot of Google research, prior to get in this adventure, however after my experience i found it even more interesting than what i read previously.
Arrived there at 8 am, had my breakfast earlier, to my surprise the car parking was almost full of cars and even bus. The place seem crowded. It was a nice feeling to see others on the mount.
The adventure is easy, especially if it is dry season as the place will be easy for hiking, otherwise if rainy season the place will be dangerous, as it will be slippery on the mostly rocks formation.
Most of the way have stairs that you can climb easily. The signage available all the way. There will be some checkpoints you will notice during the climb, also there are 2 ways, one to reach the top mount where, you can have the Alor Setar top view, the landscape, the paddy fields, usually the people tend to go there, but also one more way to the cave. I went to both places.
However the cave side during my time to the cave was empty no people. However i took the risk to go to the cave as well. The scenery was awesome. Nice place to have great photo shoots. When i passed by the cave I noticed some bats there as well, which made me afraid to go near to the cave entrance.
After returning to the foothill, the shops near the parking are all open and there are some food, drinks and souvenirs shops.
Something that draw my attention was the rocks they are selling. It is said that the rocks are extracted from the mountain. Just bring some money with you if you like to buy something to remember from there.
I read on the internet that the place has monkeys, i am scared of them, especially if they will be near to us, or disturb our way to climb the mount. However the monkey just stays down at the parking area, if any one will feed them, they will come. But seems everything under control, nothing to worry.
I had the opportunity to participate in the Fun walk & plogging during the National Recycling Day.

I do love to engage myself, in sports activities. One of the activities i participated was cycling.

The activity was enjoyed, able to cycled 10 km, in the fun ride.The fun ride, was along the paddy fields, a chance to admire the paddy fields and have a fresh air.
The fun ride, was organized by the E-Idaman, a waste management company in the north, to encourage the public to recycle and exercise.
