My favorite thing about this stop was actually the toilet! :D It had a traditional western toilet AND toilet paper and it was very nice and clean. This was fabulous, as we had stopped earlier at the public toilets, which were all those low in-ground ones and of course no toilet paper, so it is always a good idea to take a bit with you!
But seriously, the shop was a nice little stop. In the back, you can watch the people hand-painting the batik fabric. It is very lovely... and the shop is very large and a good place to pick up a few souvenirs.
What to buy: Their specialty is batik fabric, which you can buy just as fabric or in a few items of clothing. They also have a wide variety of other clothing (I got a cute skirt) and the front of the shop is full of other random souvenirs. There are also two other shops right in the same complex with lots of carved wooden souvenirs and things. We did think that many of the souvenirs were the same as ones we saw in Bangkok, so look for something unique.
What to pay: I paid AU$17 (US$12) for my cute skirt. There was a wide variety of items with a wide range of prices, but the souvenirs were similarly priced to other places we had seen.

This shop is not so popular among the tourists to Kuantan. As such, the prices are slightly cheaper and can be bargained depends on volume of purchase.
This shop is very near to Kuantan air force base. Hence, while shopping, you might catch a glimpse of some military aircrafts landing or take off if you are lucky enough.

This is the only larger shopping mall in Kuantan where you can find some brand names and famous fast food outlets. There is nothing much to see here. However, it's certainly a convenient place for tourist to buy some necessities. Famous shops like KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut & Guardian are all located here.
Other shopping mall is the Kuantan Parade.

This is a must visit shop when you visit Kuantan since the town is reputable for its fresh seafood, dried seafood and salted fish. Most tourists will drop by this shop to purchase some local produce as gift for friends & relatives.
In addition, you can browse through some local produce from other states of Malaysia like Penang, Ipoh & Melaka.
What to buy: Some recommended buys are salted fish, dried / roasted cuttlefish, satay fish, anchovies, dried shrimps, dried mussels, scallops, prawn crackers etc. Salted fish is great for porridge & anchovies are great for soup.
What to pay: You might get a cheaper price if you buy in bulk or in large combined quantity.
