Lenggong, 玲珑

西刀鱼丸(fish ball)

Fish Belly

You guy will ask where the hell is Lenggong situated anyway, I do not blame you all because this indeed a remote place. In general this place is situated in perak and is a small town that sits in the middle of Kuala Kangsar and Gerik. Anyone will pass this small town if one is travelling to the east coast via the Gerik. There are 2 ways to reach east coast, one is travel through Gua Musang way pass kuantan and all the way up to east coase. The other way is Gerik way that pass through Gerik and enter the east coast from Jeli Kelantan.

This remote small town is actually a birth place of 西刀鱼丸 (a type of fish ball), I do not know what they call in english but this fish is destined to become raw material for fish ball. This fash have many small and big bone and it is hard to eat ordinary way and no one will want to try to eat a fish that need hour to remove all the bone. The meat is tender when making it into fish ball. Besides the meat for fish ball the belly of the fish is also a delicacy with smooth and tender taste. I am lucky because that place near my hometown and so every year I can have a taste on those delicious fish ball and fish belly.

Besides 西刀鱼丸, Lenggong is also famous for its home made super spicy shrimp belacan. It is made from fresh shrimp and this sauce is the perfect match for the fish ball and the fish belly.

Oxd Txxn kopitiam in Jitra

Just not long ago I and my friend went to Jitra for movie. We watched Bangkok Dangerous that day and the movie is not bad. After the movie we planned to go to chill out before going back to Perlis and we thinked for a long time on where should we hang up. The thinking process take a bit longer due to Jitra is not a big town and do not think that Coffee Bean or Star Bucks exist in such place for another decade and so we decided to hang out at a famous coffee shop that sell premium white coffee from Ipoh.

Once we sat down in the restaurant the first problem we encounter is the waiters there seems like treat us like transparent and came to serve us after a long waiting time. The second problem is the menu, a lot of food they do not serve in the outlet. This is the first time I cannot order my favourite food and this outlet have many branches across Malaysia, the food is the same in all branches. I never encounter I cannot order food from the menu.

milk or tea??

Why white coffee is not white at all??

We order some toast, white coffee and tea and guess what did the drink came out as, just like the picture above white coffee taste like Kopi O with no white coffee at all and the tea is just look like milk. The condensed milk taste is stronger than the taste of the tea and it is freaking sweet. The toast is another problem, the kaya and butter is not spread evenly over the toast and the only food that is presentable is the instant noodle that my friend order.



Let us move over to the table we sit, the tissue is badly inserted into the holder and the sugar is almost empty but no one try to refill in the sugar. This is the worst Oxd Txxn that I ever been to and this will be the only and the last time I will go there to hang out. By the way try to guess what people is working inside, the answer is not difficult and I think most of the problem come from the answer.
