One morning in Teluk Kemang

Just came back from Teluk Kemang, Port Dickson. Following the victory of Negeri Sembilan against Terengganu last night, I decided to have a walk along the beach with my family in the morning. The place was quite peaceful and quiet compared to other parts of Port Dickson. It may have been for 2 reasons: It is not the peak season, and people were off to Bukit Jalil to watch yesterday's match. But it didn't really matter, as the place was just as nice as other beaches in the west coast of Malaysia.


We treated ourselves with some nice nasi lemaks. The people here in the warung were friendly. And the uncle kept giggling while taking orders. Such friendly gestures may have been the energy that attracts visitors from different walks of life to dine here. Too bad it is closed during night time. We had to walk further down to the complex to find a good place to eat.

We could see some fishing boats, jet sju and banana boats around here. There are many sporting events can be done here. It wasn't as quiet as few years back. Hotels, resorts and villas could be seen everywhere. A good place to hang out for young people.

One thing that we couldn't find around here was coconut. The warungs did not serve coconuts despite having coconut trees along the beach. It would have been a great tourist attraction, especially for the locals.

Keropok Lekor for dummies

What is a keropok? Keropok is a favourite crackers served in South East Asia and some parts of Eastern Asia. It can be in different forms of ingredients such as prawns and fish. But what is a keropok lekor? It is a sort of a 'fish sausage', made up of 100% being processed through the machine.

I went to one of the shops in Terengganu to look at how they processed the Keropok Lekor. Most of the shops along the beach were able to produce their own keropok lekors with their machines and skills.

Shah Alam, the garden city

Strolling around Shah Alam on a weekend would be fun when you feel like escaping from the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur. Situated a few kilometres from Kuala Lumpur, it is the capital of Selangor. The first thing that you'll see upon your arrival to city is the giant mosque. Masjid Sultan Salahudin Abdul Aziz Shah has been Shah Alam's landmark for years.

I went down to a landscape exhibition in one of the parks here. While browsing around local trees and flowers, I was able to catch a glimpse of what the people here would like to do on weekends.
