Trip to Teluk Intan

This week was my sis's final week break ... my dad planned to take us on a one day trip to Teluk Intan coz he read an article on 22nd of July - The Star newspaper that there are lots of food to savor ... So we left about 9am then had our breakfast outside the coffee shop before we start
ed our journey.
Dad took the old road to Teluk Intan - using the Kuala Selangor way. I felt so uncomfortable passing through the Kuala Selangor as the road is very very windy and I feel like puking and dizzy :( ...
Here are some pix that I snapped as we travel along the old road toour place of destination ...

beautiful clouds

Later then, dad stopped by a shop where we could try out some toast bread ... (find something to munch) haha

Food wise - moderate only .. the coffee is really kaw. Dad enjoys it so much. but the toastie bread was so~so~ only coz there isn't enough of kaya .. oops, forget to tell you guys, this coffee shop is situated at Tanjung Karang.

coffee, toast bread with kaya = RM 3.30

This is where they steam the bread. .. hmm, kinda new to me .. using the boiling water compartment to steam the bread .. haha .. good idea ...

Here's the paddy fields ... haha .. I draw a lot during my art class last time .. better view in real ... :)

Finally, we've reached Teluk Intan about 12pm ... We weren't sure about the where abouts as we only have the newspaper to lead us to those food places, so what dad did was stop by at an optician shop and asked for the directions. The girl was kind enough to do so, she lead us to where my dad asked her ...
So the first thing we tried was the steamed peanuts ... take a look at the pix ..

steamed peanutz ...

here's the price and how they packed it .. shape of a cone - that's RM2

The taste of the peanuts wasn't that fascinating ... the lady didn't steam it long enough so when it's supposed to be soft, it turn out the other way .. yupz .. it's hard .. and we didn't enjoy eating it .. The price is cheap, RM2 for such a big pax .. Mom have to steam it again when we are back .. so it'll taste better - hopefully ..

Next stop is the biscuit shop - Sin Joo Heong Confectionery. As we all know, Teluk Intan is famous for it's biscuits - heong paeng. Indeed, we bought a few paxs for family and friends .. yep .. not forgetting my darling too.. hahah .. I've tried it when I reached home just now. It tasted nice ... I wanted to snap the manufacturing part, but the boss doesn't allow me too .. haha, too bad, perhaps next time. :)
Btw peeps. there are two of these shops, the first one - "forget the name dy" so go to the second one - which is this one .. Tiger Head ..
This shop is located at Jalan Mak Intan ..

The next stop was at a soya bean stall at Jalan Maharani. A packet of soya bean and a bowl of tau foo fah only cost 60 cents!!!! ... and the tau foo fah just as smooth as silk ... just that it's a bit too sweet .:S .. hahah


We then head to Jalan Selat for the Mee Rebus and Rojak .. it was dissapointing!!!!! .. Really dissapointing... The name of the shop is shown below -

Mee Rebus - RM2.5

The noodles wasn't fresh at all . as you know, Mee Rebus, they use the yellow noodles .. i think the taste has gone a bit bad... yucks!! .. this noodles is really really bad!! ...
Next is the Rojak. It's the same comment - the gravy tasted kinda funny - i took a taste on it and i don't like it at all .. :( bad recommendation!!!
Dad ordered a cendol too .. that was just okay~

Rojak - RM2.5, Cendol RM1.5

Mom and I wasn't satisfy coz we didn't have a proper good meal yet!!! yes .. NO PROPER MEAL YET!!!
We then head to the market area and stopped by at this stall called Ah Chai Rojak - hoping so badly that it would taste something good .... it's a fruit rojak - the taste, not as good as KL ... but definitely much better than the mee rebus and rojak .. haha

Ah Chai rojak - RM2

Mom was really hungry, she couldn't take it anymore, so dad fetch her to the nearest coffee shop and she ordered a plate of char siew rice. the cahr siew sauce was soo sweet. I really wonder, does the peeps at Teluk Intan lurves SWEET stuffs? Howcome almost everything that we've tried also sweet?????!?!?!? *bizzare*


Next stop was our last stop - Fried Chicken @ Jalan Chongkat Jong. The name of the shop was G. Besum Gulam (think I got the name right) .. it mainly serve nasi kandar over there. I was so happy to be there - as in finally i can try out proper foooooood!!! .. a piece of the chicken was rm2.5.. pretty expensive - as the portion was kinda small .. anyway, I tried the chicken - it uses those spices to deep fry it - not bad - but a bit salty. Well, it's to savour it with rice .. ahha but eventually i didn't order any nasi kandar .. just try the chicken and left the place.

Fried Chicken - RM5

Finally we head straight home, didn't have any good food stomache was kinda empty ans was very disappointing!! ... I reached home at about 4.15pm ... was really hungry - took the heong paeng and eat .. ahah .. then later cook mee suah for dinner .. and it tasted so good compare to those food we had at Teluk Intan ...
Our food hunting today was dissapointing ... no nice food ... aiii ... but this bowl of noodle did fill up my tummy .. ahha

mee suah with vegetables
