Best Time To Balik Kampung?

He mentioned that he is on holiday already, nothing to do so in AW most of the time......

Hope a lot of people back by Sat. Probably got to travel middle of the night to avoid jam. Cannot tahan stand still or snail speed on the highway.

Ipoh food still graded the best in the country in terms of variety, cost and quality. Tried a few so far no regrets. Issue is need more kang tau to know where the best ones compares with generally good ones. But CNY go makan in small towns sometimes worst than KL, no place to sit, price increase, quality drop etc.

CNY - no chance for you lor - we normally go cari makan in weekday 1, so no rush and all good dishes or fresh swimming or livestocks - can chose yourself - eat and eat till you drop. Sungkai "Choy Kee rest" also not bad - got many good live river fish like sultan, soon hock and etc.,...fished by aborigines and sell to them!!! and many many more small small but good and cheap , until eat and eat and tapau back

... talk about makan hungry liau. Which part of Sungkai? Towards Bidor or Slim River. Sungkai town main road or out side town.

Travel to Teluk Intan quite often these days. Plenty of fresh and cheap seafood. 3 pax 3 dishes with fresh grouper in aircon restaurant also around $50. Small town restaurants generally dare not simply slaughter as they targeting regular customers. Not like KV. Plenty of water fishes to slaughter.

AW should have a food topic then.....hahahahahaha
Bro. br1, Sungkai shop, the one with the "Chee sau" right? I ta pau before but did not eat the fish because wrong timing.

Slim River also have clay pot "pak sook kung"......

Grik there also have fresh river fish.....

wah, you also makan kaki? got member ler then can group and cari makan here and there! hahahaha

KKB - old man - traditional old style cooking, also very good, Batang kali - lor mee. all the way many nice foods, used to go just for foods, fuel cost more than foods! but enjoy itm, cos cannot get in KL & PJ
just had dinner at China court Rest - inside subang avenue bldg, lousy foods and cost a bomb!!! 1.5k exclude liquor (bring own) I rename it Restaurant of No Return!

Ya AW should have makan topic so can RR at best makan spots off the highways during jam .

Talking about Grik, my old man used to consume so many soon hocks in the 80-90' as travelled there every month for business till the restaurant owner when moved to Ipoh still recognised them on the street . Understand so many variety of river fishes those days.

Nowadays guess not so good already. Even formal MCA leader OKT kampung Lenggong still have resonable nice sai tow fish ball shop but price cut throat and portion small.

If going East Coast stop by stretch along Pahang river, Temerloh-Bera-Triang. Still can find plenty of river fishes. Even those breed along river side - pak sok kong, tilapia, patin, trust me cheap and great. 1kg ~ $10-15. Bring an ice box and bring back to cook. Quality same or better than those 'wild' river fish restaurant in PJ. You be back again.

Very soon the river also out of fish.......

No worries, cage ones. Even those claimed to be wild in PJ, not surprise from the cage besides rivers. How many can tell?

The meat are softer leh......

So, when are you guys balik kampung? Today at 4pm was in Sunway, main road all jammed up......
