Last weekend I balik kampung. I love road trips =) But I hate being on the road
First we head to Ayer Tawar/Sitiawan where my dad grew up (but nobody from my dad's side of the family stays there anymore). Our main reason for stopping over at this town is because my dad wants to buy food from his childhood which are mainly Foochow snacks. In that region of Perak Foochow people dominates so if you are interested to divulge in Foochow food, you can go there.
While waiting for a shop to finish making a Foochow snack known as KomPiang, we went to a cendol shop in front of The Store at Sitiawan town. According to a framed photo over there, they served royalty before =O It used to taste nice but their standards dropped. Or maybe I lost my sweet tooth...
Extremely sweet cendol...
Oh before cendol we went to a shop that sells traiditional Foochow delicacies and bought so so so much stuff it's scary.
Since we had time to spare before going back to my mom's kampung house, we stopped over at Teluk Batik. Going to public beaches on school holiday weekend is definitely not a smart choice. But I still love the beach =) It's gorgeous and any photos you take there is amazing =)
I love being around nature. Makes me feel... Happy.
.
Lots. Of. People.
Sis' leg in sand. This is the of the beach that has the finest sand =)
Banana boat... The indian guy that owns the business over there was trying to persuade me to get a ride on the banana boat, saying it's the cheapest in the whole WORLD. At RM5, I have to admit it is pretty cheap but I hate the thought of getting wet =( So wasted...
More beachside photos.
The shoreline.
Me and sis' leg in sea water.
Next post: Dinner at Sitiawan.
