DAY OUTING.... To the valleys, Kuala Sepetang and Taiping town.
Started off the one hour journey without breakfast in Ipoh, leaving more space in our tummies for food in Kuala Sepetang. Just a glass of fresh fruit juice in the morning and off we went. Drove one round in Taiping town and then it was almost 11am. By then my stomach was already calling for "Food, food... please" ... and from Taiping, another 15 minutes drive to Kuala Sepetang.
Stopped at a fish village to get some of dried seafood stuff.... four of us ended up buying a few packets each.... and from there, we walked to the nearby open air Xin seafood restaurant facing the river bay. We ordered a few dishes including crabs and I was surprised that the price was quite reasonable...
This is Kuala Sepetang, a small fishing village near Taiping...
The dried stuff being dried under the hot sun...
Salted fish in making....
I like to eat salted fish but have not done so for a long time already
after hearing and reading so much about them....
And from Xin restaurant, the fishing village could be seen....
Fishing boats at dock....
Very patriotic too...
As for the food....
Fried prawns...
Sambal Kangkung....
Oyster omelette....
Cuttlefish with dried chillies...
Noodles for two but it came out in such a big portion...
Steamed crabs...
Halfway through the meal....
Yes, mostly are leftovers... they are not wasted though...
We finished the crabs but not the rest....
The remainder were taken back for dinner....
Meal above cost around RM118...
We eat, we buy.... and soon...
Bye Bye!
I also like to eat salted fish, but once in a while only...
ReplyDeletevery good price for so many dishes including 2 crabs. Good that you all took back the balance for dinner.
ReplyDeletethe price consider cheap as there are seafoods (prawn, sotong, crab)...Can't get such price in KL...
ReplyDeleteAll ngam me, I love seafood. And I love fishing village where seafood is fresh and price is reasonable with big portion.
ReplyDeleteI also didn't take salted fish for quite sometime. Try to avoid it but depends on dishes, I could resist it.
