Bentong 1 Day Trip: What To Do In Bentong, Pahang

October 5, 2017 by summerkid_summergirl

Bentong 1 Day Trip Itinerary – Summarizing about 21 things to do, eat and buy in Bentong from our recent trip to this district in Western Pahang Malaysia.

So sorry but our memory about Bentong, Raub and Bukit Tinggi are pretty shallow, and we manage to mention only Berjaya Hill Resorts in Bukit Tinggi Pahang, Bentong Ginger and errmm..maybe also durian Pahang if you asked us about these two places.

With a long weekend that is too boring to stay just at home, and not into spending money at shopping malls, yet flying overseas doesn’t make the time enough for us, a short getaway to resorts, or interesting towns nearby is always a great option.

bentong.trip

Decided to have a day trip to discover Bentong Pahang on Malaysia Day. It was quite impromptu, so we wouldn’t say this is the best guide for Bentong day trip, but sufficient to keep your day fruitful in this small town, with noteworthy food recommendations from local friends. Things to do here is more than we thought off, and if you have more time, 2D1N stay is a great idea too.

Travel time from Kuala Lumpur to Bentong

Reaching Bentong from Kuala Lumpur is easy using highway. An hour of journey will take you off from the bustling city to a tranquil, peaceful town with friendly locals. We began our journey at 8AM and reach Bentong Air Kolam Panas by 9AM.

1st Stop: Bentong Kolam Air Panas 文冬热水湖

IMG_6325

Bentong Hot Spring, or Bentong Kolam Air Panas is about 2 Kilometers away from Bentong toll. It is a natural hot spring opened to public. Admission is FREE. Come here for hot spring bath, or soak your legs in hot spring.

IMG_6326

This pool-like hot spring is separated into two sides. Summergirl tested one of it and found it close to body temperature. Asking one of the locals why, they told us that one of it was hotter (*smaller one, where hot spring source comes from), while the other one is lower in temperature. Plus the water was colder after days of raining this week.

So do check the temperature when you are here, find the one that suit you and relax your tired feet. Suria Hot Spring Bentong is located next to it. There’s also Hot Spring Bath inside with RM10 per entry.

Address: (*WAZE Suria Hot Spring) 2527, Jalan Kuala Lumpur Lama, 28700 Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia. Admission: Free for the public hot spring

2nd stop: Bentong Morning Market 文冬大巴刹

IMG_6354

Another 30 minutes brought us to Bentong Morning Market / Pasar Besar Bentong, a nice place to enjoy the lively morning vibe in Bentong, blending into the daily life of the locals. The market isn’t very big with stalls stretching out long like no tomorrow for you to shop, but has everything a morning market should have – Meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, dried items, food, and even clothes! You can buy the ever famous Bentong ginger, Bentong Soy Sauce and some local produce here.

Address: Jalan Chui Yin, 28700 Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia Opening Hours: 5AM – 10AM

2nd Stop: Roti Canai Stall, Bentong Market 印度煎餅檔

IMG_6338

This stall always earn the liking from locals with their freshly made roti canai, and slowly getting fame that now even tourists queue for this. Business was at brisk when we first passed by, and after finished visiting the market, there was still quiet a number of them waiting for roti canai. Try out if you are craving for this local street food.

Address: 92, Jalan Chui Yin 28700 Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia Opening Hours: 6AM-12PM

3rd Stop: Thong Kee Coffee Shop 文冬溏记海南茶室

kiam-si

1+1, Geng Chau Ping, Kiam Si – If you have not heard before these gimmicky combi from Thong Kee Coffee Shop, is time to give it a try.

kaya-toast

We first knew about Thong Kee when they opened a branch in Pandan Indah KL, then another Thong Kee in Seapark PJ. The crowd is massive and we only managed to secure a seat there after visiting 3 times. Glad to be here at their Bentong shop finally! Coffee is a must, and the fancy combi mentioned above. Not to forget, Hainanese butter kaya toast and croissant butter kaya toast are awesome.

IMG_6379

Thong Kee Bentong is about 5 minutes walk from the market. Just walk straight along the Bentong Walk road. Look out for shop sign in sky blue colour.

Address: 4, Jalan Chui Yin, 28700 Bentong Town, Pahang Opening Hours: 6AM – 5PM

4th Stop: Wantan Mee from Ji Ki 枝記云吞面

IMG_6373

枝記云吞面 in Thong Kee Coffee Shop has been running their business for decades, currently by the second generation and going to third generation soon. Recipe inherited from the grandma, churning out plates of old school wantan mee with springy noodles topped with char siew, and wantan served separately with soup.

Address:  Thong Kee Coffee Shop, 4, Jalan Chui Yin, 28700 Bentong Town, Pahang Opening Hours: 6AM – 5PM

5th Stop: Handmade Dumpling 文冬水餃

IMG_6376

This dumpling is also from the stall inside Thong Kee Kopitiam. Priced at RM1.50 per piece, this dumpling is rated as “expensive” to us but when we bite through the filling, we doesn’t feel so anymore. At least, the filling is brimming with a good mix of minced meat deeply flavoured up with marination, and chopped vegetables that add texture. Huge and plump. Nice.

IMG_6366

Ordered pork noodles from the same stall too. Soup is alright, tender meat slices but overall not memorable if we were to compared with zhu yuk fan in KL. RM6 with egg.

6th Stop: Bentong Street Art Murals 文冬壁畫

mural-art

Done with breakfast and there we go, time for calories-burning-walking before the next food hunt. Personally feel that the town is doing quite well in promoting tourism in the area. These beautifully painted wall art mural is a good evidence. Colourful, well-maintained, 3D style, great for photography. We saw like 5, maybe have more.

Address: Along Jalan Chui Yin, Bentong Town, Pahang

7th Stop: Pillars and Walls with Written Artwork 文冬藝術

IMG_6408

It is hard not to paying attention to these masterpiece by 唐耀生先生, who is more known as “Professor” by Bentong citizens. Summergirl loves all these classic painting on walls and pillar, similar to those we saw in Hong Kong. Spot them around Chui Yin Road, Jalan Ah Peng, Jalan Loke Yew and more.

Address: Along Jalan Chui Yin, Jalan Loke Yew, Jalan Ah Peng in Bentong Town, Pahang

8th Stop: Ah Chong Chee Cheong Fun 文冬阿虫豬腸粉

chee-cheong-fun-stall

This chee cheong fun stall is located beside Kwong Sin Restaurant 廣信燒腊王, opposite to the Chamang Waterfall mural. Opening hours is around noon time.

chee-cheong-fun

Chee cheong fun is the highlight here, with sweet brown sauce and red hot sambal sauce come together for flavourful concoction with spicy kick. RM0.80 per roll, an order of 2 rolls plus some Yong Tau Fu, or vegetables stuffed with fish paste are enough to fill up the tummy. We had 2 rolls of chee cheong fun, 2 crispy fu zhok and 2 stuffed tau pok at RM6.40 in total.

Address:  Beside Kedai Kopi Kwong Sen (*opposite mural art) 92, Jalan Chui Yin, 28700 Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia. Opening Hours: Noon till sold out

9th Stop: Lan Ji Mix Rice Stall – Gong Sei Yong Tau Fu 文冬蘭記广西釀豆腐卜

lan-ji-mix-rice

It sounds weird to introduce a mixed rice stall and get you pin this on your ” Food to Eat in Bentong list”. But hey, they have some really delicious Gong Sei Yong Dao Fu. This stall is recommended by our Bentong friend, and she highlighted that this is one of the best places for Gong Sei Yong Dao Fu by far.

IMG_6461

We can’t judge much as we didn’t taste all Gong Sei Yong Dao Fu in Bentong, but have to say that this is really the best one among the 3 we had tried that day. The juicy, meating filling with meat and fish paste mixture are real good stuff. Humble stall with just few dishes for your mixed rice. Nothing impressive but certainly a hidden gem for superb Gong Sei Yong Dao Fu.

10th stop: Yuen Kee Cafe – Hooi Ji Wanton Mee 源记茶餐室 开记云吞面

IMG_6425

Many says that one the best Bentong wantan mee is at Yuen Kee Cafe. Sadly, it was already sold out when we reached. Regretted that we didn’t come earlier but when we read through some food blogs and food review platforms, we learnt that their standard has dropped rapidly after they gone famous around the internet. Not sure how true is this, or is it still worth trying out. Will be glad if anyone who has tasted this legendary wantan mee can give us some comments.

11th Stop: TAK Ice cream Corner 陳雪糕店

IMG_6430

TAK Ice Cream is about 200m away from Yuen Kee Kopitiam, you can just walk over. We walked for about 5 minutes under the scorching hot sun, felt so ready after that to indulge into their TAK Special. TAK Special is their signature, towering up shaved ice with lychee, watermelon, ice cream and condensed milk. Refreshing, not too sweet.

IMG_6433

Chendol is great too! Served in glass. It tasted rather pale on the first sip but as we mixed it with ice cream on top, yay, the sweetness turned right with magical “pandan kaya” like flavour. Recommended.

Address: 89, Jalan Chui Yin, 28700 Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia Opening Hours: 11AM – 7PM (closed Tuesday)

12th Stop: Bentong Tau Fu Fah Sdn Bhd (Quan Xin Tou Fu Fah) 全新文冬豆腐店

IMG_6464

A brand new but famous tau fu fah in Bentong, thanks to the power of social media. *Ah hem. A bowl of tau fu fah at RM1.50, and you can opt for normal white sugar syrup or ginger sugar syrup. Silky smooth, melt in the mouth, not bad but still prefer Teluk Intan Queen’s Road Tau Fu Fah and Ipoh Funny Mountain Tau Fu Fah. They also have fresh white tofu, soya bean and deep fried tau pok. Operation hours is until 4-5PM.

Bentong also has another Tau Fu Fah shop located in front of Bentong Pasar. According to our Bentong friends, both are not bad but for those who prefer a more old school, stronger bean taste (豆味比較重), the later could be your favourite.

Address:  85, Jalan Chui Yin, Bentong, Pahang Opening Hours: 6AM – 6PM

13th Stop: Mai Ya Tang 麥芽糖小店

IMG_6491

Malt sugar candy anyone? A stall located right across Quan Xin Tau Fu Fah, bringing back childhood memories with just few ringgits.

14th Stop: Yang Guang Bentong Trading 陽光文冬土產城

IMG_6411

Not too sure what to bring home as souvenir from Bentong besides Bentong ginger and Bentong soy sauce? Visit Yang Guang Bentong Trading located opposite to Thong Kee Kopitiam. Handmade Heoh Pneah here is not bad, less sweet on the filling. Ginger powder is recommended, great for women’s health.

15th Stop: Bentong Walk 文冬文化街

IMG_6359

Bravo for this Bentong Walk that turns this century old town livelyat night! Too bad we were there on Friday. Bentong Walk is available only on Saturday and Sunday evening. It takes on night market concept but leans towards a platform for youth to start their venture. A meaningful cultural street for shopping, eating, performances and art appreciation. Do stay till the evening if you happened to visit during weekend.

16th Stop: Kow Po Ice Cream Shop 球宝雪糕什雪店

kow-po-ice-cream

Similar to TAK Ice Cream Corner, Kow Po Ice Cream is a dessert cafe in Bentong famous for local street treat like ABC, Chendol and ice cream. Kow Po is prides for their homemade ice cream with various flavours such as vanilla, chocolate, coconut, pandan, banana. Chocolate is a must-try! For chendol and ABC, tastes are on weaker side comparing to TAK Ice Cream Corner. Suggest to go TAK Ice Cream for chendol and shaved ice, come to Kow Po for ice cream.

Address:  No. 2, Bentong Heights, Pahang, 28700 Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia Opening Hours: 10.30AM – 7.30PM

17th Stop: Bentong Park 文冬公園

bentong-park

You will pass by this giant “BENTONG” sign along the main road on your way to Bentong town. Next to it is Bentong park, where locals have their recreational activities, jogging, cycling and leisure walk. There’s also a mini playground in it. You can make a stop here and take pictures with the huge sign to keep as memory.

Address: Taman Rekreasi I city Marong, Kampung Sungai Marong, Bentong Pahang Admission: Free

18th Stop: Chamang Waterfall /Lover’s Waterfall 情人瀑布 

chamang-waterfall

Chamang Waterfall or more known as Lover’s Waterfall is no doubt, the best attraction in Bentong for us.  Scenic view surrounded by natural beauty, lush greenery. You can walk around to find the best angle for your photo but please be extra 150% careful. Stay away from swift moving water. There have been many unfortunate cases happened here. Google Chamang Waterfall Bentong tragic accidents and you can easily get handful of information about this. Be careful, careful and more careful.

Address: (*find Chamang Waterfall in WAZE) 28700 Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia Admission: FREE

19th Stop: Kicap Bentong Sdn Bhd Soy Sauce Factory 文冬酱园

kicap-bentong-kilang

If you have time, pay a visit to Kicap Bentong Sdn Bhd and stock up few bottles of kicap for your cooking. As the name implies, 最好生抽 (Means Best Kicap Soya, with Thumbs Up Logo) emphasizes on high quality soy sauce made from finely selected beans. Their delicious soy sauce is spread by word of mouth, slowly getting fame beyond just the locals. You can easily get it in Bentong market, road side stalls and groceries shops too.

Address:  Lot 27, Kawasan Industri Bentong, 28700 Bentong, Pahang Opening Hours: 9AM – 6PM closed on Sunday

20th stop: 山中茶園 Purple Cane Janda Baik, TanaRimba, Bukit Tinggi Bentong

purple-cane

It was nearly dinner by the time we finished all these attractions. Decided to return to Purple Cane Janda Baik as it was still closed when we were there in the morning. But we were at no luck. The whole space was super crowded for an event. Massive crowd, parking was full in the compound and along the steep road. Left with not-so-happy mood. Above is the picture of Tanarimba Janda Baik taken from Purple Cane Facebook. Pretty right? We’ll come back again!

Address:  C1, Jalan Tanarimba Pine, Tanarimba, Kampung Janda Baik, Bukit Tinggi, 28750 Bentong,Pahang, Malaysia. Opening Hours: 11AM – 7PM (Tue, Mon closed) Website:  www.tearestaurant.com.my

21th Stop: Canton Kitchen 老招牌

DSCF2929

Saw Canton Kitchen Restaurant when we came down from Janda Baik. Some of you might be familiar with this well-established restaurants, as it also has few outlets in KL shopping malls, namely Glo Damansara, Sunway Velocity,Paragon Utama, Rampai Business Park. Founded in 1988, Canton Kitchen is proud for their concept of 以姜入菜, meaning uses ginger in many dishes, as Bentong is famous for their ginger.

canton-kitchen

Price is quite affordable. Total bill came to around RM45 for a good portion of Curry Wild Boar Pork Slices with Shredded Ginger (RM15), Deep Fried Tofu with Minced Meat and Chopped Long Beans (RM10), Ginger Chicken Bee Hoon (RM10) and 2 Lo Hon Goh (RM2.80 each). Highly recommend Curry Wild Boar.

Address:  second shop in Restoran Foon Lock欢乐美食饭店 (diagonally opposite to Police Station) No. 84, Kampung Bukit Tinggi, 28750 Bentong Pahang. Opening Hours: 10.30AM – 10.30AM

There are still many attractions which we didn’t manage to cover, such as  FELDA Musuem, Karak Wild Boar Hunting, Valley Agro Park Stingless Bee Farm, Bentong Gallery, ATV Ride & Sport Archery Bilut Adventure Park and more. We probably need an additional day to enjoy these activities to the fullest, and plus a nice stay in many of the resorts here! So for those who are up for 2D1N trip, add this to your Bentong to-do list. Ideal for family short getaway with kids.

  • My Malaysia: A Day in Bentong, Pahang

**We’re in the midst of Malaysia’s Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) due to the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic ; and because we cannot fly out of the country at the moment, many Malaysians a re planning holidays within the country. It’s an unprecedented time to be a travel blogger, so I’m taking the opportunity to write more about my beloved country. Read more about my Malaysian travels here .

This post is on the day trip that I made to the small town of Bentong last year (pre-pandemic). Only about an hour’s drive from the Malaysian capital city of Kuala Lumpur ; it is famous for the durian, local ginger, and as a quick foodie getaway out of the bustling city.

Bentong

Bentong, Pahang

The town of Bentong is located in peninsula Malaysia’s biggest state of Pahang . I would say that it is the gateway to the eastern part of the peninsula — as you’d pass the town just before the start of the East Coast Highway (from the west) that leads to the eastern states. I grew up in the capital of the Pahang state in Kuantan ; and Bentong town has always been one of the food and rest stops during my road travels to and from Kuala Lumpur .

Bentong is also the name of the district — and includes the popular hill resorts of Genting Highlands and Bukit Tinggi . The area is dotted with lots of durian orchards that you can visit for a taste of the world’s smelliest (and most delicious) fruit; or if you wish, a stay for the night. My day trip however, is mainly focused on the Bentong town area and the nearby waterfalls.

The best way to get to Bentong is by car, because certain attractions like the waterfalls and some restaurants are located a little further away from the main town centre; and you can also have the option of stopping by the hill resorts or the durian orchards. Alternatively, you can also get to Bentong from Kuala Lumpur by bus.

Hooi Ji Wantan Mee

I visited Bentong with two of my girl friends, Abby and Diana. We started our drive from Kuala Lumpur early in the morning. Our plan was to have breakfast once we arrived in Bentong. The town was pretty packed with visitors because it was a Sunday; so we parked the car just before the start of the Bentong Morning Market street — and went hunting for food!

Breakfast at Hooi Ji Wantan Noodles

Breakfast was at Bentong’s famous Hooi Ji Wanton Noodles at the Yuen Kee Kopitiam . The place was packed and we couldn’t find a seat — and ended up sharing a table with an elderly couple. We ordered the popular dish; and also had a shared plate of ‘Yong Tau Fu’ from one of the many other stalls in the restaurant. I have to say that despite the noodles being springy and the dark sauce satisfyingly flavorful; I’ve actually tasted better char siu (Bbq pork) elsewhere. So the wanton noodles here didn’t really impress me as much as I expected. My bowl cost RM4.50.

Bentong Morning Market

The Bentong Morning Market only opens on Sunday mornings, and starts as early as 6am. We went to explore the market after breakfast. It takes up the entire long stretch of road across the Bentong town centre, and is actually made up of local vendors setting up their stalls right in the middle of the street. They sell everything from local produce, fresh meat and food; to clothes and household items. Some of the famous local items to look out for while shopping along the morning market are the Bentong ginger, Bentong Soy Sauce, tofu-puffs, as well as home-baked sweets and pastry. I decided to buy back a huge piece of ginger that was as big as my face!

TAK Ice Cream Corner

TAK Ice Cream Corner

Eventhough it was only late morning — the weather that Sunday was mercilessly hot and humid. After walking back and forth along the stretch of market; we decided to cool down with some icy cold treats at the TAK Ice Cream Corner . Located near the market; the hole-in-a-backstreet-wall drink shop serves everything sweet and frozen. From ice bowls like ice kacang and ABC , to fruit juices and ice cream. Between us, we shared a bowl of the TAK Special ‘fruit jelly ice’ for RM5.20, and a huge glass of chendol (with an ice cream on top) for RM4.50.

Bentong Street Art

After cooling down, it was off for more exploring around the Bentong town centre. We heard that the town has some street art to look out for, so we decided to hunt for those! We found a side street that is decorated with these 3D interactive murals; and had such a fun time taking pictures. The drawings mainly feature the things that Bentong town is known for — ginger and durian.

Lemang To'Ki

Lunch at Lemang To’Ki

And then it was time to eat again… for lunch! This time, we left the town centre and drove a little further out to Lemang To’Ki . It’s a very popular restaurant among the locals and domestic travelers; and is known for their lemang (glutinous coconut rice cooked in a bamboo stick). We could see them cooking the lemang over the fire, and it comes in different sizes that cost RM10, RM12 or RM13 per stick. However, we opted for the set meal (with a much smaller cut of lemang ), with either chicken rendang or beef rendang for RM5 per set. Other than the lemang , the restaurant is also known for their ayam bakar (fire-grilled chicken) that is served as a whole leg for RM7.50 — which we also ordered. I absolutely loved my meal!

Now, if those specialties doesn’t tempt you — Lemang To’Ki also sells other local delights like nasi campur (mixed rice), nasi lemak , fried rice, lontong (rice cakes cooked in banana leaf) and char kuey teow (noodles), amongst others.

Chamang Waterfalls

We were stuffed by the time we were done with lunch. So it was time to head to the next attraction to chill for a bit — the Chamang Waterfalls . The waterfalls is located about a 15-minute drive out of the Bentong town centre, and is a popular picnic spot during the weekends. Entrance to the waterfalls cost RM3 for Malaysians and RM10 for international visitors. There is a carpark available, as well as public toilets and changing rooms. It is pretty safe to play and swim at the base of the falls — and this is where you’ll find the picnicking families. Further up the waterfall is slightly more dangerous; as there are swift flowing waters, slippery rocks, and whirlpools. Reports of serious accidents are not uncommon, so thread with caution.

We spent about an hour or so at the Chamang Waterfalls, lying by the rocks and dipping our feet into the cool waters. It’s was nice as the natural foresty surroundings and the flowing water made the area a little more cooling and refreshing.

Bentong Durian

Bentong Durian

Later on in the afternoon, we left the waterfalls and headed back to the town centre of Bentong. On the way, we dropped by one of the many roadside durian stalls (that can be found along the Bentong stretch) for the most delicious fruit in the world! There are a couple of places in Malaysia that are known for supplying the best durians to the nation; and one of it is Bentong. The area is famous for their orchards, and the wide variety of durian it produces during the durian season. While at this random durian stall, we ordered one ‘Musang King’ and one ‘Teka’ variety — and had a wonderful durian experience, as always.

Kow Po Ice Cream House

Now, durians are known to be a heaty fruit (having too much always gives me a sore throat); so what else better to cool our bodies down than some ice cream. So we went back into the Bentong town centre for a treat at the Kow Po Ice Cream House . It is amazing how one of the most famous restaurants in Bentong is this ice cream place… and is therefore always packed with customers. Tour buses stop by here too!

Kow Po Ice Cream House has been around for more than 40 years, and made its name with its home-made traditional ice cream. The ice cream has got this old school taste (that reminds me of my younger years) — and I’d say it has more of the ice, than the cream. There are a variety of flavors to choose, from chocolate, strawberry and vanilla, to coffee and banana. I only had a single vanilla scoop on a cone for RM3.50; but if you’d like to dine in, you can also order scoopfuls of different flavors on a plate. They serve other icy desserts and light snacks too.

And ice cream ended our trip to Bentong. It was evening by the time we left town — and the road out into the highway to Kuala Lumpur got pretty congested. I guess everyone was leaving at the same time we were… so I’d suggest that during your visit, you either leave town slightly earlier or later at night. All in all, I really enjoyed my fun day trip to Bentong — just a simple, no frills, stressless, do-as-we-wished, eat-as-much-as-we-want getaway out of the city.

I did a 2D1N trip, which included eating delicious Pahang Durian, eating local food in Bentong, drinking coffee, and staying at a resort with a river tubing activity.

Bentong Morning Market

The first pit stop for visitors is the wet market, a hive of weekend activity.

You get to experience a lively morning vibe and blend in with the daily life of the locals.

Most shoppers are Malaysian retirees on a one-day tour of Bentong on a popular itinerary of shopping, simple meals, and sightseeing.

Business in the wet market is brisk over the weekends, as tourists mostly buy the Bentong Ginger and Bentong Soy Sauce .

Malaysians like the health benefits of Bentong Ginger compared to a poor man’s ginseng.

Chinese mothers take this during confinement to help dispel wind from their bodies after giving birth.

Local Fruit and Vegetables

The fruit traders are the friendliest I have ever met.

They offer tasting samples of freshly cut fruit you can try before buying.

I’ve tasted the best “super sweet” pineapples, which are golden, juicy, and fragrant MD2 (bananas comosus)

  • Bentong Ginger
  • Guinea eggs
  • Salak (Salacca endulis) or Snake fruit
  • Turkey Berry (Pokok Terung Pipit)

The traders are welcoming and helpful. Many would even share recipes on cooking the raw ingredients in soups, dishes, and even curries.

The people in small towns are proud that visitors admire who they are and what they have — the old town charm.

UC students in caps and gowns celebrate commencement at Fifth Third Arena.

UC's record graduating class prepares for next chapter

Uc will recognize the biggest spring graduating class in its 205-year history.

headshot of Michael Miller

The University of Cincinnati caters to students such as Quincy Allfree who — like the poet Walt Whitman said — contain multitudes.

The Carl H. Lindner College of Business student completed a co-op in Kentucky, earned a certificate in Spanish business and joined a mentoring fellowship all while pursuing a double major in marketing and business information systems.

He will have a large cheering section of family when he walks across the stage at Fifth Third Arena for the largest spring commencement in the 205-year history of the university based on preliminary numbers.

With four ceremonies spread across three days, UC’s spring commencement kicks off at 3 p.m. Thursday, April 25, with the doctoral hooding and master’s recognition ceremony. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are required for all guests. The arena only allows clear plastic bags.

UC’s undergraduate commencement will consist of two ceremonies at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Friday, April 26, and 10 a.m. Saturday, April 27. The ceremonies will be streamed live .

Pursuing your passions

Allfree enjoys art and drawing, but he also wanted to learn more about how to reach a bigger audience. So he double-majored in marketing and business information systems in the Lindner College of Business.

And he wanted to learn more about photography and videography, so he minored in media production in UC’s College-Conservatory of Music.

Because he likes to travel, he wanted to brush up on his language skills, so he got a certificate in business Spanish from UC’s College of Arts and Sciences.

Allfree is in UC’s Darwin T. Turner Scholars Program, where he became fast friends with his first-year roommate. The program is designed to give first-generation and underrepresented college students a community of support to help them succeed.

Allfree said being a Turner scholar made the transition to college much easier.

“I think it worked for me because I come from a small high school in Cincinnati,” he said. “I didn’t know many people at UC, so it allowed me to have a built–in community.”

Allfree joined UC Business Fellows, a mentorship program for future business leaders.

Some of his favorite experiences were trips abroad to Canada and Colombia. He traveled to Toronto in his first year at Lindner. And during spring break he went to Colombia for a study-abroad program, where he put his Spanish skills to the test.

He has a large contingent of family coming to commencement. And he’s looking forward to UC’s Afrocentric graduation celebration called Tyehimba. 

Allfree said apart from imparting new skills and knowledge, UC demonstrated the importance of kindness.

“You never know what people are going through,” he said. “Be a friend to people, even if it’s not someone you see yourself fraternizing with.”

About the spring class of 2024

UC will confer 7,521 degrees to 7,391 students. (Some students are earning multiple degrees.) Both represent new records dating back two centuries at UC for a single graduating class.

UC will award 539 associate degrees, 4,549 baccalaureate degrees, 252 doctoral degrees, 1,886 master’s degrees, 3 micro-credentials and 292 professional certificates.

This year 15% of graduates are first-generation college students. And 210 students come from Cincinnati Public Schools. Nearly 3% of grads are U.S. veterans or dependents of veterans.

New this year, three students will graduate from UC’s micro-credentialing program as electronic health records specialists. UC also will celebrate its first spring graduating class in the new master’s of legal studies program.

UC has seen a dramatic increase in master’s graduates in information technology and baccalaureate graduates in cybersecurity in the College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services. Meanwhile, the College of Engineering and Applied Science has seen a surge in graduates in its computer science and biomedical engineering programs, reflecting a growing interest in these fields.

The spring class of 2024 has the largest-even percentage of master’s and doctoral graduates, representing more than 28% of graduates. And nearly 15% of grads participated through distance learning programs.

Graduates hail from 84 of Ohio’s 88 counties, a new record. They come from 47 states and 76 countries as far away as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the Philippines and Japan.

Women represent 56% of the spring class of 2024. And 57 grads will celebrate their birthday during the three days of commencement.

Spirit of entrepreneurship

The Board of Trustees will award an honorary degree to UC graduate and international entrepreneur Timothy Brown, co-founder and chief innovation officer for the sustainable shoe and clothing company Allbirds.

Brown, a native of Wellington, New Zealand, is a 2005 graduate of UC’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning, where he majored in graphic design and worked in UC’s top-rated co-op program.

At UC, he was a standout soccer player who turned professional, playing for the Richmond Kickers in Virginia, the Newcastle Jets in Australia and the Wellington Phoenix in New Zealand.

He used his experience as a professional athlete and a designer to make what Time magazine called “the world’s most comfortable shoe.” Allbirds uses natural and sustainable fibers like wool.

“I consider my design education such a valuable thing for what I’m now doing as an entrepreneur,” Brown said in a 2016 interview.

Brown returned to campus in 2019 to accept UC Athletics’ Outstanding Alumni Award. While there, he addressed students at his alma mater, telling them not to listen to naysayers about what is and is not possible. He was warned how difficult a task it would be to succeed in Division 1 soccer while taking on a demanding program like graphic design. 

“I had to fight through the warnings and prove people wrong,” he told students.

Following a legend

UC graduate Chin Hua “Odin” Ou is following in the footsteps of Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon. Armstrong came to UC to teach aerospace engineering after leaving NASA. Before becoming an astronaut, Armstrong was an engineer and test pilot who worked to improve the aerodynamics of aircraft.

Like Armstrong, Ou wants to help design better airplanes. He will accept a master’s degree in aerospace engineering from UC’s College of Engineering and Applied Science.

Among his UC highlights was publishing a paper on unmanned aerial vehicle design at a conference and competing in an international competition in Fort Worth, Texas, as a member of the UC AeroCats. They finished an impressive fourth overall in the 2023 competition.

Ou said the trip to Texas was epic.

“We built two types of UAV. To transfer them to Texas, we rented a truck and van to drive down from Cincinnati,” he said. “It’s the biggest road trip I’ve taken.” They celebrated their good finish at a barbecue restaurant.

“I would definitely recommend the aerospace engineering program at UC. It’s a great place to study,” he said. “The environment here is very friendly. And there are a lot of resources to use.”

Ou is an international student from Taiwan. During his time at UC, he traveled to Montana, Washington and Florida. And he went to Detroit to visit his younger brother who is studying transportation design there.

Their father is a retired electrical engineer. He is excited to see his parents at commencement. Afterward, he will return to Taiwan to complete his mandatory military service. And then he hopes to work for an aviation company.

“After all these years of studying, it’s a big end to me — and a new chapter,” he said.

No sibling rivalry

Siblings Jaina and Benton Hellmann are graduating together this year.

Jaina is an Honors Program student who conducted research at a pediatric hospital while studying chemistry in UC’s College of Arts and Sciences.

“Our project focuses on how your body develops an immune ‘memory’ against antigens that have invaded you before,” she said. “I never dreamed of doing biomedical research. I’ve seen myself grow as a researcher and team member at UC.”

Siblings Jaina and Benton Hellmann are graduating together this spring. Photo/Provided

Now she plans to pursue a doctorate in environmental engineering in UC’s College of Engineering and Applied Science.

“She’s the brains of the family,” her brother, Benton, joked.

Benton has a job offer in cybersecurity after graduating with a bachelor’s degree from the School of Information Technology in UC’s College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services.

“I took some computer classes in high school and that kicked things off with me. I wanted to have a secure future so information technology was a safe bet,” he said.

Benton said he especially liked living on campus.

“It was easy to get to a game and be a part of campus life. And it was convenient to get help from classmates,” he said. 

Jaina said she tried to balance academics with research and her social life. She took part in RallyCats, a student spirit organization that provides a cheering section for a range of student sports. Their motto: They play the games; we make the noise!

“There are so many fun memories, like when we beat Houston to make the College Football Playoff and stormed the field. Being a part of that is something I’ll never forget,” she said.

She wants to pursue a career in water-quality monitoring.

“UC has been a really good place for me to discover who I am as a person in and out of the classroom,” she said.

Pushing frontiers of medicine

Darl Jacob is earning a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from UC’s College of Arts and Sciences, where he conducted research in immunology.

“We were working on therapeutic interventions for people who are diagnosed with immune deficiencies,” he said.

He has been interested in chemistry since high school. The field of immunology is seeing dramatic advancements in treatments of diseases like cancer, he said.

“It’s been interesting to see how you can modify the body’s immune cells,” he said.

Jacob was born in India but grew up in the United Arab Emirates. His family will come from two continents to attend his commencement. Meanwhile, his brother is in Europe, working on a graduate internship in electrical engineering in the United Kingdom.

“My mom and dad are coming from the UAE and my grandmother is coming from India,” he said.

His dad also works in chemistry as a biochemist.

“The good thing is my dad was able to give me a lot of insights about opportunities in chemistry, particularly if I wanted to go into research,” he said.

After graduation, Jacob will attend Brown University for graduate school.

“One of the biggest lessons I learned is that resilience is a good thing. And it’s really important to ask questions when you don’t know something,” he said. “That’s something I’ll take to grad school.”
