Bagan Sg. Tengorak/ Bagan Sg. Burung

北上东去的参加婚宴、圣诞、新年、农历新年、公司年初的各样会议、还有一些有的没的的吃喝玩乐。。。还以为时间不够用我没资格说，还是说我的心太野没让自己休息安定下来的意思？还是换个说法，我就是一个字 – 懒

好了。。。这一切都该尘归尘，土归土了，该让心定下来，不属于我的，甭想，想自己能够掌握的就好了！就像这个，照片整理好就差文字的这篇博文，从去年12月12日就一直乖乖的呆在草稿箱内，若不是这星期报纸有报道到这个地方，我这该死没良心又善忘的人什么时候才会乖乖的把文字填上。

Bagan Sg. Tengorak

Tengorak means skull, those time during the occupation of Japan, the army used to kill the captive on the beach there, and later when the Malay found skull and till now they name this place Bagan Tengorak. Of course now no more skull, Bagan Tengorak is now a peaceful fisherman village and is well known by the delicious seafood there.

We were actually going to my friend’s (Perlyn) hometown (we all used to work in the same company, I left but they are still colleagues), as we were using the old road (not highway), we stopped by Bagan Sg. Tengorak for lunch. This is my first time eating at this one and only seafood restaurant in the village, we were already talking about the restaurant and the lady boss in the car, they said, the boss has her own way of running business, you must be able to wait patiently, you shouldn’t call her to take order unless she walked to your table, cannot add or cut any food that you’ve ordered, cannot rush her because you have been waiting very long for the food to be readied and served…

When we were there, all tables are occupied, we waited for about 30 minutes to get a table, then another 30 minutes or longer for her to walk to our table to take order, another 30 minutes of waiting for the food to be served… The food… fantastic! So good until non of us remember to take pictures, we just eagerly gorge in everything presented on the table… I think the food is worth the waiting… but of course this is very subjective. Actually while waiting, you actually can walk around the village, if you are lucky, (I’m lucky that day), you will be able to see the Egrets searching for food by the beach.

Bagan Sg. Burung

It’s kind of fun to experience “going back to hometown”, everybody seems friendlier, simpler, happier… they have stronger bonding with the family members too, taking my friend, Perlyn for an example, her family knew that we will be visiting, all family even those who have married or moved to another places, young or old, they all came back to throw a party for us.

Guess what? Jelly fish, round-disc-shape are the “umbrella” and in the barrel are the tentacles… well, kind of gross until you eat the fresh one, taste so good that you will force yourself to forget about these.

Photo time!

Dinner time!

                        Homemade rojak (even the sauce)                                                       Teowchew stewed duck

All sort of seafood, you name it, they have it. Can either cook them in steamboat or bbq pit. Look at the portion?

We were so full that we can’t take in the giant crabs anymore… so, Perlyn’s brother brought it to the nearby coffee shop, asked them to cook with beehoon for us – that’s our seafood breakfast!!! Yummy!!!

After breakfast, Perlyn brought us to visit her relative’s salted fish “production house”

Next we were brought to another relative’s fish ball “production house”, although they do things on the floor, but it is very hygienic area. Of course we got the chance to buy the freshest fish ball from them too!

Photo session again!

Seafood all the way!!! Seafood lunch @ Teluk Intan

The seafood porridge was unbelievable tasty…

As we were travelling north, it will take a longer hour to go back to my hometown – KL, so, we decided to try the local famous asam laksa before departing. For me, asam laksa is not my favourite food… no comment whether this is nice or not.

Photo taking in front of the leaning clock tower marked our arrival to this town – Teluk Intan, Perak!
