六月下乡记

六月的某一天，知道阿哥蜜蜂王子Jeff将会回家乡一趟，我就很脸皮厚的说要到他家一游过周末。曾经带过无数位朋友仔回家乡的他，当然是无任欢迎。Jeff的家乡仔细位置是位于霹雳州的双怡仗(Sg Tiang)，最靠近的市区就是大约车程45分钟的安顺(Teluk Intan)。那天星期五下班后，我就到了Pudu巴士站，搭八点的巴士上安顺，车程大概是两个小时半。而从北下南的Jeff和友人KT（又称大便教主）也在我抵达巴士站不久就来接我了，时间刚刚好。这位新朋友还真的是久仰大名，终于可以见到教主本人。

接了我后，我们就去买驰名安顺猪肠粉充饥，然后到安顺斜塔附近享用。以前大学最后一年曾经到过安顺一游，看到的是白天的斜塔。而这一次，可以下欣赏夜里的斜塔不停的转换颜色。安顺猪肠粉，跟其他地方的不一样，那里的是有猪肉碎再配腌制的青辣椒。

吃饱饱后就和斜塔拍拍照就上路回家了。

一路上，当然要跟教主这位新朋友交流啦。咦？怎么在fb上的幽默和本人有差异的？原来他是个腼腆文静的男生，幽默只会出现在fb。回家的路都很暗，然后好久好久后，终于到达我们蜜蜂王子的蜜蜂窝了。那时已经是午夜了，蜂妈妈和蜂爸爸都在等着孩子会来呢。为人父母的大概都是酱吧，尽管孩子已经接近30了，在他们心中永远都是长不大的。

第二天早上，早餐有粽子呢，这还是我今年吃过的第一个肉粽子，开心。然后我们三个年轻人就陪蜂妈妈去安顺采购(marketing)。因为啊，他们家是开杂货店的，所以都会到外面去“进货”。从早到下午，总共走了十多间商店，买吃的，日常用品，文具到神料，他们家的杂货店还真的应有尽有呢！蜂妈妈还真的非常享受采购呢！难得孩子回来当车夫嘛。哈！蜂妈妈其实还蛮健谈的，只是我的福建话是有限公司，交流时都会掺杂到华语，也幸好她也会华语。

蜂妈妈忙着采购，我们忙着自拍

下午回到蜂窝后，我们就坐摩多到海边看日落啦！等了一整天，就是为了这个风景，哈！其实这个住宅区，很像我亲戚在角头渔村的感觉，就是人民是靠捕鱼维生，因为靠近大海嘛。远离大城市，这里平静扑素得多，我很喜欢这种感觉。来到海边，我看到了寄居蟹，真的超兴奋，因为这是我第一次看到这个生物呢！真的是百闻不如一见！哈！

你怎么那么瘦啊！

谢谢你热情招待

晚上最开心的是有住家饭吃，有人陪伴吃饭，感觉超幸福和亲切感的！然后饭后一起吃宵夜，不停的塞水果，还真的是第一次吃奇异国，只因为他们两都到过纽西兰打工度假，所以自然而然的对奇异国情有独钟，那我当然也要捧场咯。其实，没有想像中的不好吃啦，为什么以前我会抗拒呢？大概是因为它们毛毛的外皮吧。

短短的周末潜逃就是这样，下次我还要到蜂窝玩！虽然没有像友人上次那么幸运可以出海，希望以后有机会吧！

临走前，蜂妈妈还给我们鸡蛋糕和饮料在路上充饥，好贴心，真的感激不尽。鸡蛋糕，是我的最爱！

阿哥，教主，下次再见！这个小地方，我爱！

Tracing the Foot Step

For some reasons, I name this post as Tracing the Foot Step, definitely is not because I used to study nearby for 5 years.  Eventhough I spent 5 years staying there, but I hardly went to Setiawan, only twice I guess.

So this trip was about eating and praying. Yaya I just went there last week with my family. But this week is different kind of combination, it was our first time went to other state together.

We started our journey at about 11.30am, heading to the south with highway and old road. I’m not so sure how much is the time difference by using highway all the way to Jelapang, passing by UTP, Teluk Batik, then only reach Setiawan. Longer journey I can foresee.

It was lunch time when we arrived Kg Cina, for seafood lunch. Yea, since Setiawan is near to sea, so seafood is a must in our makan list.

            

There are lotsa restaurant there, but THE blogger recommended this one. :p

After taking late lunch which is about 4pm, we headed to the main destination of the day, Pasir Panjang Tua Pek Kong. From far, you can see very huge god and goddess statues, facing the sea.  The first thing to do was nothing but of course praying. We might be young but we pray too okay!

After praying, it was photo shooting session. Pictures speak louder than words. Just have a look at pictures taken. Actually there are many statues, from 十八罗汉to二十四孝 and the infamous 大伯公，观音娘娘, the list goes on.

we are rabbits

My dear chabo told us, it is kinda difficult to find Guan Yin Status with the vase facing down, with water flowing all the way down. And yes, there is one there. Seeing other people make use of the water, we also washed our hands with water, maybe can wash your IC, car number plat to strike number. I’m not so sure about the effectiveness, it is all about luck I think. 

thanks ah hia for helping us to snap picture

im so pro, ss-ing

looks tempting?

There is one so called Monkey Garden where I didn’t see any monkey over there since last week too. Or maybe I overlooked them. Crabs and mudskippers are staying in the mangrove. Next time should pay a visit to Kuala Sepetang for more mangrove sightseeing.

Was trying to look for must-eat-local-delight according to some blogs and website, Cendol and Kong Piah (a type of biscuit which is quite famous among Hokchiew people in Setiawan), tried it few years back in Ayer Tawar, it contains spring onion and pork. It was quite late when we arrived the destination, and the luck was not with us, both cendol stall and kong piah shop already closed. Oh no!!! 


Headed back to north disappointedly, we stopped by Taiping for dinner, haha as if we were eating non stop. 


That is all about the trip, not so tiring compared to last week, having lotsa fun with the girls. :)   


Almost forget bout this, Setiawan is famous with this must bring home products - mee suah, red wine for cooking etc.
