  • Today we explored Kuala Sepetang, a local Chinese fishing village in West Coast Malaysia.
    We got the local bus from Taiping to Kuala Sepetang or Port Weld in English.
    We spent the day exploring the fishing village, meeting friendly locals, visited a stunning Chinese temple and had some incredible food.
    The seafood here is well known to be delicious we had a Mee Udang for 5RM and it was so good.
    We also visited a local Bao bun spot where the owner was super friendly and gave us one for free! Best bao I've ever eaten probably.
    Why does nobody visit Kuala Sepetang this place was amazing we could have stayed for days 🇲🇾

    Interesting you made it to K. Sepetang. Even for locals it is not a place people visit. I last visited in the 1990s for a fishing trip at the river there. This was because my fishing buddy's uncle is a fisherman. He lives in the house where you filmed from the bridge. It was a tranquil and peaceful place for a city guy like me. A good video off the beaten track.

    Enjoy your stay. I can see that you are enjoying every minute of your holiday. That’s nice. The glutinous rice cooked in the bamboo tube is called lemang in Malay. It is soaked in coconut milk and cooked over charcoal fire. Tastes delicious on its own because of the strong coconut milk flavour. The locals used to eat it with curry. I believe you also love the Chinese steamed bun with the pork filling.

    What you had, was Big Pau (normally pork based with a quarter or half boiled egg). There is a bigger version 2x the size and it has a cheeky name (I’ll let you guys find out what is it called)
    Lemang (Rice cooked over fire in bamboo togive its signature fragrance) is popular during Hari Raya, and it’s usually eaten with rendang, usually a spiced beef dish (some could be chicken instead) which has several versions, but mainly wet or dry version, and presented based on the cuts, shredded, dry floss version….

The meaning of this greeting with the wai means good health to you. Sawastika = good health on to you. We can ignore what perverse fascism did by trying to appropriate it wrongly.
