After a short walkabout and buying of some dried seafood stuffs, it was time to think about our tummy.
Kedai Makanan Tepi Sungai (riverside restaurant)
The restaurant is on the 1st floor.
"Come, follow me!"
We passed by these Mantis Prawns in a water tank.
A close up of a Mantis Prawn.
The 1st floor restaurant over looking the river scene.
A typical fishing boat on the river.
A jug of iced umbra fruit juice for 6 people
Deep fried wontons or dumplings.
Deep fried soft shell prawns in batter.
Needn't have to bother with the shells, all can be eaten!
Nyonya assam fish (local call this "chicken meat fish")
Steamed drunken prawns
Sweet sour and spicy mud crabs
We didn't order any rice or noodles.
Five types of dishes plus the drink about RM 180 for 6 people.
Customers can also order these fresh live cockles
And prawns kept fresh in this ice box.
On our way home, we stopped in Taiping for cendol ice.
And a plate of Pasembor (rojak).
We each had a small bowl of cendol ice.

Everyone gets to taste a little of it.
Linking to Saturday's Critters.
Even honey seems tasteless to a man who is full;
but if he is hungry, he'll eat anything!

I have never heard of a mantis prawn. They are eaten? Have you ever eaten one, and are they good? They look frightening to me,like a giant centipede!
ReplyDeleteYes, Ginny, the mantis prawns can be eaten. I have eaten mantis prawns before. They are normally served without the shells.
DeleteHola Nancy, me encantaría ver y comer una de esas gambas mantis, preciosas fotos. Feliz día. Besos.
