SL Villa (SL别墅历史)- Kuantan Homestay

它是如何开始?....有三起事件正好有这个别墅。 

最初,在1980年,我们去世的祖母杨锦曾担任清洁工 为从我们家在位于Jalan Air Putih 民宿。


曾在那里工作10年以上。随后在1988年,我们的 家里有一个空的土地和我的父亲计划建造一个别墅。就这样巧合我已故的祖父罗华也于年退休。因此,我父亲邀请双方祖父母照顾的新建- 7间客房的别墅。

当时,没有人知道它被命名为SL别墅。只是叫大家在华宾馆华宾馆不仅是为生意目的的地方。这所房子其实我们的家庭聚会和社交聚会点。几乎每个周末及公众假期或大日子的,我们的家庭(叔叔,阿姨, 堂兄弟,儿童,婴儿)宁愿选择这个地方去。
有些客户认识我们的家庭,因为我们的祖父母在生时,客户还是在20多岁。他们大多来自吉隆坡的销售代表拜访他们的东海岸客户。 

今天,我们已经是第四代。然而,他们仍然怀念我们的服务,仍然始终记得我们是一个小孩子的时候。 

2006年,我们的父亲沈义桦坚持以建设大别墅容纳更多的客户。他有很强的原则:不取消客户的房间或“逼”顾客离开,而他们可能需要留几天接生意。他还保证了室内清洁,也是他们的人身安全 财物。


关丹始终是一个轻松,慢节奏的地方。 

今天,我们的客户主要是包括那些在假日参观关丹度假旅行,特别是在东海岸高速公路于2005年完成。 


SL Villa Kuantan 已成为客户重要的记忆,特别是对我们的 家庭。让回忆继续... ... ..

Kuantan Homestay - SL Villa History

SL Villa History

How it was started?....there were three incidents happened to have this villa. Initially, in 1980, our late grandmother Yong Kum Mui worked as the cleaner for one of the homestays in from of our house located at Jalan Air Putih. She had been working there for more than 10 years. Subsequently during 1988, our family has an empty land and my father planned to build a semi-dee. It was so coincident that my late grandfather Loh Wah also retired at the year. Thus, my father invited both grandparents to take care the “newly built-7-room” villa.

At that time, nobody knew it was named SL Villa. Everyone just called in Loh Wah Inn. Loh Wah Inn was not only a place for business purpose. The house was actually our family gathering and social gathering point. Almost every weekend and public holiday or big occassion day, our families (uncles, aunties, cousins, children, babies) would prefer to choose this place to go.

Some customers knew our family since our grandparents time when they were still in their 20s. They were mostly sales representative from Kuala Lumpur to meet their East Coast Customers once a month.   

Today, this is already fourth generation. Yet, they still missed our service and still always recalled how we behaved when we were a little kid.

In 2006, our father, Sam Jee Nga, insisted to build larger villa to accommodate more customers. He has strong principle: do not cancel their room or “chase” the customers away while they might need to stay for few more days. He also ensures the room cleanliness and also the safety of their personal belongings.  

Today our customer are including mainly those visit Kuantan for the holiday and vacation especially after the East Coast Highway completed in 2005. Kuantan is always a relaxed and slow-paced place to rejuvenate.

SL Villa has become an important memory for customers and  our family.  Let the memory continues……..

Some good food at Kuantan!

  • There are many restaurants and eateries that have mushroomed around Berjaya Megamall on Jalan Tun Ismail which serve local food at reasonable prices.
  • Keropok Lekor is also famous in Kuantan, especially the ones sold by Mok Nah in Tanjung Lumpur and Pak Soh 2 in Sungai Karang on the way to Balok. The variant sold here is slighty different from the ones you find in Kuala Terengganu in that it is soft but crispy.
  • Sata, fish paste and coconut wrapped in coconut leaves and barbequed; good with fresh fruit juice.
  • Otak-otak, fish paste wrapped in coconut leaves and barbequed; good with beer.
  • Satay, chunks of chicken or beef on a skewer, cooked over a charcoal fire. Eaten with a peanut-based dip. The tastiest satay in Kuantan can be found at Zul's Satay, located in a corner shop at the junction to Beserah from the Kuantan town-Teluk Cempedak road. Heading towards Teluk Cempedak from Kuantan, it is on your left at the traffic lights with a Zam Zam restaurant opposite it (also on your left).
  • Nasi dagang
  • Nasi lemak
  • Malaysian Chinese cuisine, e.g. Hainanese chicken rice, wan tan mee (noodles with wan tan soup), yong tau foo (tofu, eggplant, bitter gourd etc with fish stuffing), char koay teow, (noodles fried with cockles and bean sprouts), dim sum, curry laksa (noodles in curry sauce), assam laksa (noodles in curry sauce flavoured with tamarind) etc. On Jalan Penjara in Kuantan town is a corner restaurant, Hock Heng Baru which serves delicious and reasonably-priced Hainan cuisine. While you are at Hock Heng Baru, do try their killer sour plum lime drink where they go the extra mile to blend even the sour plum flesh together with the limes to give the drink an extra sour taste.
  • Malaysian Indian cuisine, e.g. roti canai, nasi kandar, tandoori chicken, food served in "banana leaf" restaurants etc.
  • Local fruits, e.g. rambutan (a hairy-looking fruit - "rambut" means hair in Malay), mangosteen ("manggis" in Malay), duku, langsat, pomelo, jambu, guava, starfruit, jackfruit ("nangka" in Malay) and durian. Durian is an acquired taste as it is strong-smelling. It is greatly loved by Malaysians!
  • Kemaman Kopitiam, corner shop opposite Berjaya Megamall, serves delicious coffee.
  • Curry Laksa at Hoi Yin Restaurant in Teluk Cempedak. Located in the row of shops on the left as you approach the beach. Opens morning till early afternoon.
