Peninsula Malaysia Makan Trip - Update 2 - End of day 1

After a short rest, we continue our journey again, heading to Matang just out of Taiping for seafood. In Kg Matang, we dined at Restoran Ghee Seng, one of the many seafood restaurant along this main road in the kampung.

Seafood here are fresh and you need to order from the kitchen where they are cooking. They have all the seafood and vegetables available laid out for customers to choose. We order a stingray curry, the pokey snail (chee loh), fried la-la, kung poh sotong, fried fish and 2 fried vegetables.

I must say the food is fresh but the taste in all the dishes is lacks salt, maybe the style here is different, people like the food more "ching" but that's healthy. Just need to add a little soya sauce of your own and it taste good, especially the stingray curry. The fried fish here, is similar to the "sar chui" but it has eggs in them and are deep fried! Overall, dinner for 11 persons cost us less than RM100.

Raining cats and dogs forced us to cancel our visit to the night safari and since we have a sick Daniel with us, we decided to go the local night market for fruits, some herbal tea and some tofu fah. Lastly, we ended the night with the all popular Kong Meng bbq pork bun, each cost 80 cents and the bbq pork are shredded finely. How good is it? See how our friend eat it below and you will know what I mean! Off to bed now, another day of makan trip tomorrow!
