Tioman Island Scenery
There are a lot of these pictures. Use the load more button at the bottom to see more of them.
Tioman Island Food
So the first fish Josh ate on Tioman he kind of… inhaled. About the time he was finished with it, he declared that we needed to have another one, so he could have a picture of it. So we ate fish (well, seafood) for dinner every evening, and remembered to take pictures of it BEFORE digging in.
Driving To and From Tioman Island
Blurry Monkeys
Those blurry brown spots are monkeys.
WHAT!?
There's an elephant on that sign! Unfortunately we didn't actually see any elephants (or maybe fortunately, an elephant in the road would have probably backed up traffic)
Mersing
We stayed overnight in Mersing before getting on the ferry which left at 6am
Beautiful scenery
Scuba Diving on Tioman Island
It was awesome! Our instructor Joseph Kuah took these underwater pictures. I’ll post other pictures from the island later.
Descending - looks pretty cool!
Josh Showing Off
Josh's favorite part of diving was swimming through a couple of the structures.
Note this is the only picutre where the swim shirt actually shows up as even slightly close to the actual pink color that it is.
The School of Yellowback Fusilier
Note the stripey fish (Seargent Major fish) photobombing
The School of Yellowback Fusilier
Not actually a picture of either of us, but this picture really captures the "wall" effect of the school of fish - it was really neat.
Josh by the Jetty and Fish School
The structure is the legs of the jetty. Tons of fish around there, hanging out.

A Crocodile Fish
Two Lionfish!
There aren't that many lionfish in the area, but Joseph knew where this pair lived - we were lucky and they were chilling at home so we could get a look

Driving Around
More pictures taken from the car.
Food
More Food Pictures!
Coconut
Order coconut (listed under juice) and they bring you the whole thing
3-Layer Tea
Coconut palm sugar syrup on bottom, then condensed milk, then tea on top. Stir it up and drink it (we had to go back and get another)
Thai Nasi Goreng Ayam
Translated: Thai fried rice with chicken
Thai Nasi Goreng Ayam
The presentation is great, with the rice contained in a thin cooked egg layer
Chendol (or Cendol)
A fantastic dessert! Shaved ice, green pandan-flavored (and colored) rice noodles, red beans (like kidney beans), jellies, coconut milk and palm sugar syrup
ABC Special
The name stands for something meaning "mixed ice" - it's like chendol, but with more stuff in it (corn, more jellies, and ice cream on top)
Fries, but wait…
It's the little things... fries are served with sweet chili sauce instead of ketchup (which is fantastic but surprises me every time)
Legoland Malaysia
It was on our to-do list, but then they put in a Star Wars display, so we had to go right away! We liked it even more than expected, so we took a bunch of pictures.
Road Trip
There’s a whole country to explore! And we like road trips anyway.
