From Kampung Cina To Teluk Batik, Perak

After our seafood lunch at Kampung Cina, we drove to Teluk Batik. If you want to check out our drive from Ipoh to Kampung Cina and what we ate for lunch, you can click here. From our previous experience, there is an entrance fee for weekends and it is free for weekdays.

It was a Saturday and we paid the RM1.00 entrance fee for a car.

The car park were full of cars but we managed to get parking space for our cars. 

Selamat Datang Ke Teluk Batik or Welcome to Batik Bay.

The year end school holiday has started and there were many holiday makers.

There are many stalls catering to the tourists. 

It was a sunny day and we looked for a shady place to sit.

The youngest member of our trip is a 7 month old child.

The beach was filled with picnikers. 

Looks like a big project going on at the far end.

Is it a new bridge project?

Some people going on a boat ride... 

While the kids were playing on the beach, I took a walk.

Saw this light house replica.

Some kind of structures here.

These big shady trees provide shade from the hot sun.

Sandy beach and swaying palm trees.

Blue sky, blue water and clean beach.

We sat under the pavilion away from the hot sun while the kids were having fun with the sand.

After the kids have taken their bath, it was time to visit Lumut.

Jesus replied,

"A person who has bathed all over does not need to wash,

except for the feet, to be entirely clean.

And you disciples are clean, but not all of you."

For Jesus knew who would betray Him.

That is what He meant when He said,

"Not all of you are clean."

(John 13:10, New Living Translation-NLT)

A Day Trip To Sitiawan And Teluk Batik, Perak

On Saturday we made a one day trip to Sitiawan, Teluk Batik and Lumut. We made a similar trip with the same family about 13 years ago.

  We started at about 10.20 am.

Altogether there were 10 of us, 7 adults and 3 children.

 We travelled in 2 cars.

The morning was bright and sunny. The sky was blue with white clouds.

It was a leisure drive and the traffic was light.

 We reached Kampung Cina at about 11.30 am.

We were the first customers at this seafood restaurant.

 We ordered a bottle of toddy palm or palm wine and some young coconuts as starter. The toddy palm was very fresh and fragrant. It tasted sweet too.

 Fried oyster omelette or "Oh Chien". This is the crispy version.

A bowl of misua or mee sua with red rice wine and chicken soup.

Misua or mee sua is a type of Chinese salted noodle made from wheat flour.

 A local confinement dish for women after giving birth.

Crispy deep fried cuttlefish.

 Plain steamed fish.

Sweet sour mud craps.

 Mud crab cooked with salted egg.

We also order a plated of fried misua and a plate of green veggie.

No photo of fried noodle and green veggie.         

 From Kampung Cina we drove to Teluk Batik. That will be for the next post. After Teluk Batik, we drove on to Lumut.

 This photo was taken along the street of Lumut.

 Took a snapshot of this view on our way out of Lumut.

Dark clouds were gathering. Signs of rain in the next few hours.

Let us acknowledge the LORD;

let us press on to acknowledge Him.

As surely as the sun rises, He will appear;

He will come to us like the winter rains,

like the spring rains that water the earth.

(Hosea 6:3, NIV)

Seafood Lunch @ Restoran Laut Villa, Kg Cina (Day Trip To Kg Koh & Lumut #3)

On Saturday afternoon, after reaching Kampung Koh, we went straight to collect the Foo Chow gong pian (biscuits) that we have ordered a day earlier. After that, we drove to Kampung Cina for our seafood lunch.

This was our second visit to Restoran Makanan Laut Villa. The first visit was quite a long time ago and it was a dinner treat by a very close friend. He was formerly from Gopeng but is not residing in Sitiawan. He was the one who recommended Restoran Makanan Laut Villa to us. Instead of going back to our usual place, we came back to Restoran Makanan Laut Villa.

We ordered 2 fresh young coconut drinks for my female friend and I.

Coconut was just right, not too young and not too old.
The coconut flesh was thick but soft enough to eat.

We ordered a bottle of fresh palm toddy (came in a recycled 100 Plus bottle). Hubby's drink - Palm Toddy mixed with Guinness Stout (small bottle).

Friend's hubby and I, we both took pure palm toddy (I only take fresh palm toddy). When palm toddy is fresh and not fermented, it is very fragrant and sweet. But one it started to ferment, it smells and taste awful!

A plate of steamed thick shelled lala (a type of clam).

Friend Egg and Mussel omeletter (Or chean).
This was less oily, crisper than the Penang style.

A plate of deep fried crispy fish (sar chui yu) with sweet sour chili sauce for dipping.

Lastly, 2 big sized mud crabs cooked sweet sour style. Very meaty and fresh! Very tasty too! If I were to eat this at home, I will dip my bread in the sauce. Yummy!

Total cost of lunch for 4 people MYR 172 (47.58 USD)
(incl. 4 white rice, 2 bottle palm toddy to take home).

When we arrived, we were the first customers.

Front portion as we enter, the place very spacious.

It was around 1.30 pm and the place was quite empty. By the time we finished, we saw some cars just arriving.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,
and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air,
over the life stock, over all the earth,
and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
(Genesis 1:26, New International Version-NIV)
