Family outing-Nibong Tebal-Batu Kawan

Went to Nibong Tebal, Prai with family...plus 3rd aunt and uncle...just a family outing.

Was raining through the whole journey there...

We were worried that the rain wouldn't let up, but it did after we reached.

Not really much there, it was a very sleepy town. -.-

But. There were three highlights of the day.

First is we went in search of Bukit Panchor National State Park...

Which turns out to be in a sad state...and since it's really far and out-of-reach, 

The people who actually went there are the kampung kids.

=.=

Not worth taking any pictures really. 

But they have some impressive tall trees.

Anyway the 2nd highlight was unexpected.

We stopped by an old shop selling all those sweet delicacies...

It was called Chop Chuan Guan Confectionery.

Photos below show how they make those sweet and crunchy traditional Chinese cakes...

(I don't know what to call it)

So fast you can't even see the hammer...flattening the paste while it's hot

Finished product! Yumm =)

Some of the "scenery"

Look at those old houses~

This is so old it's boarded up...but notice the windows? This must be a rich guy's house of long ago...

Plants inhabiting the house~

To the jetty to watch fireflies...

 But we didn't watch the fireflies. Instead, we headed over to Yen's Seafood for dinner at Batu Kawan. It was my dad's favourite hang-out place in the past. It used to be a small wooden house, but has now flourished into a tall, modern building for a restaurant.

Food now!

This is the best (and cheapest) dish! Steamed baby octopus with yummy sauce. It tasted original and really fresh.

Mee...it was okay~

 Fish. Red snapper. Quite nice actually. The sauce is good.

Kappa in a hot sauce. Fresh, delicious, but only a few for quite a price.

Crispy sotong...not that nice because the batter was too thick and there is no original sotong flavour. LOL.

 It ended up being the dish we couldn't finish and had to take home.

Chrysanthemum tea. It was really refreshing and hot. The tea is clear with no debris...mmm.

 

 

 

 All in all it was a yum-yum place to eat, recommended!

Service is good, fast...

Price quite good...but the crab's RM60/kg...>< ended up not eating crab.

Haha..well...our bill was RM104

XDD
