Seafood For Lunch At Kedai Makanan Tepi Sungai, Kuala Sepetang.

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 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.

From Ipoh - Kuala Kangsar - Kuala Sepetang.

We didn't drive straight to Kuala Sepetang. We made a few stops along the way.

Our first stop was in Kuala Kangsar where we dropped by a friend's motorcycle shop to pay a visit.

Checking out some of the bright coloured bikes.

The yellow one above and the white one below are good for shopping purposes.So convenient with the metal basket in front, center and a back carrier.

We chatted for a while, refreshed ourselves, and we were on the road again.

Back on the highway

Going out of the highway in search of durians.

We came upon a roadside stall, stopped to find out the price.

The durian fruits look fresh.

Our friends checking out the durians.

"Watch out for the thorns!"

See, the "makcik" or auntie on the left opening the durian fruits for us.

Come, let's enjoy!

Yummy durian fruit.

Sorry about the colour, due to reflection of the pink coloured shade.

After we had our fill of durians, we continued on our journey.

If you want a boat ride, this is the place!

This is a common fishing village scene.

Taking a rest and a snapshot.

"Mind where you sit, don't fall over into the water!"

Sweet couple!

Breakfast At Canning Dim Sum, Taman Canning, Ipoh.

This time, my friend suggested that we go to Kuala Sepetang for a one day foodie trip. This time we had a foodie team consisting of 6 people. We are thankful for our friend's 7-seater car to accommodate all 6 of us.

Our aim is the seafood lunch in Kuala Sepetang. We intended to have a light breakfast before we start our journey. Since we need to pick up our friends, we had dim sum breakfast somewhere nearby. My first visit to Canning Dim Sum in Canning Garden, Ipoh.  

At the front, we were greeted with cute decorations of different sizes of steaming tray.

There are also 2 nice garden chairs for anyone who wants to take a seat.

It was only about 8.30 am and the sun is already shining on the seats.

Operating hours: 6.30 am - 2.30 pm

Off day - Wednesday.

Filled with morning breakfast crowd.

Decoration near to our table.

I needed to go to the washroom.

The door is this traditional style wooden door with the wooden latch.

These will be enough for 6 people.

A type of siew mai (steamed dumplings)

Steamed fishballs

Steamed savoury glutinous rice with chicken (loh mai kai).

Steamed buns.

Deep fried bean curd rolls with fillings.

Taro or yam puffs (woo kok).

All the above items were more than enough but.....

But we wanted to try this steamed buns set that consists of different flavour fillings e.g. chocolate, black sesame, panda, yam, etc.

I caught sight of this pretty flower in the front garden.

Hope to return for another round of dim sum.

But for now, it is time to start our drive to Kuala Sepetang.

He isn't really being slow about his promised return,

even though it sometimes seems that way.

But he is waiting, for the good reason that he is not willing that

any should perish, and he is giving more time for sinners to repent.
