The container as the base, has washroom and small kitchen inside. This cafe serves typical western dishes and beverages such as pour-over coffee and soft drinks. Also, N.16 is located right beside the Padi Box Homestay, which is one of the most iconic homestay in Sekinchan.

Store owner is busy cooking and delivering the food to the customers.

One particular moment was the food took so long to deliver on to my table. I had to constantly remind the food store owner about my order. This was utterly disappointed or perhaps it wasn't the right time to visit this place because of the high influx of visitors.

Oyster omelette, RM 15 per plate. The typicality of Sekinchan's Oyster omelette tends to have very high contain of oil, flour and lack of oysters... Unlike in Penang, it was really good, filling and delicious!

RM 6 for this Char Kuey Teow. This was the worst dish ever. Tasteless and kept me waiting for a very long duration.

When I was at home, the grass is always greener on the other side - People were saying how wonderful it is to be here, in the garden. These greens are such alluring and there's noway that you can resist such charm.
Before your parents exist into this world, Taiping Lake Gardens used to be a wealth-pool for miners, before it become the actual public garden in 1800. More over, average annual rainfall is about 4,000 mm in Taiping while the Peninsular's average is around 2,000 mm - 2,500mm. The unusual rainfall led to a fertile growth of flora and century-old rain trees in Taiping Lake Gardens, today.

#Throwback to the past where my Grandpop always brought me here to take a stroll and have fun in the playground. Then, there were many ice cream vendors along the pedestrian pavement - that's where I got crazy about it. I would buy them in 5 or 6 qty. I miss the mini melts ice cream by Nestle especially because its like a tiny-sized of ball ice cream. I'm sure you had that as well when you are a kid. I think that the production for mini melts ice cream no longer available in the market today...
Yes, I do recall that the air last time was way more fresher than today. Today's air contested with haze which produced all the way from Indonesia. Not blaming but seriously, they need to stop on open-burning method, which is inconsiderate act.

After done taking a stroll around the green, my mom brought us to the nearest Taiping Hawker Centre before heading back home.


It did not took us long to locate the hawker centre, and at that point onward, craving for the local delicacies is definitely a must.
*Above, is the vast variety of local snacks, in Malaysia we call it "Kuih". Each and every kuih have their own lore, taste and method of preparation - this is what makes the Malaysian delicacies so unique. The seller of this store definitely did a good job for recommending which is best based on my taste buds.

*Above, I ordered (One) plate of Char Kuey Teow and (One) bowl of shaved Ice cream. My favorite is on the Char Kuey Teow because its super delicious which I barely able to describe it. This Char Kuey Teow, FYI, its the wet-version, so, not too wet nor dry - one word for it: PERFECT. Also, not many chefs able to control the texture(wet/dry) of the kuey teows. Once again, kudos for this one!
As for the shaved Ice cream, its very disappointing because there's no flavor in it. I felt that the person who made this bowl, is extremely stingy or maybe, it is meant to be like this???

Opportunity to take a shot in narrow road for vehicles.

A planned trip back to my hometown, just to evade from all the nonsense that I felt in the hectic life. The past two days over there were nothing but sense of belonging is still strong to me, after all - I'm originated from there originally .


-> Overview
This place is called Pantai Remis, where I used to romp all over the childhood scene, here. Those days were priceless and infinite because as a young and immature child, the daily routine is an infinite loop , for instance; eat, play and sleep - repeat. Happy go lucky and carefree, I would say.

Ah, I remembered my grandpop would purchase Vitagen in bulks just to make me happy, otherwise I would bang my head at the wall which led me as a slow learner today...
*Those who know me and reading this right now, you know how shi*t I am*
Speaking of headbutt, my mother told me that I managed to shattered the view mirror of a Volvo car last time LOL! even other family members supported to the evidence~~ gosh!
You know, the quality of a Volvo car is extremely high, that's why they are known for their safety features but hey, I managed to shattered one.

As years passed, the community grew which led to high density in this area. Never before there's traffic light in the streets but as I mentioned, as time passed, the area has gotten populated - traffic lights are built to control the traffic to avoid any fatal...

The best supermarket back then... No such company as AEON, Tesco or whatsoever.

-> Foodies
20 years down the road, the food has never change! The food sold here are mostly the classic ones, for instance; roasted pork meat, rice with kaya, steamed bread and so on. No commercial food and drinks sold here because its pricey. Any modern food that the seller trying to sell, most probably will be reject by the community due to their differs of lifestyle, income and perception towards contemporary food.

On my return, I manage to fixed my cravings such as roasted pork meat, Indian noodle of Chinese style, steamed breads and seafood!




One best reason to live here is the price of their food, super duper cheap! Nothing can beat down the price of rural areas! More over, food in every states, have their very own twist! That's the reason why you should backpack around Malaysia, to discover the vast of variation in terms of taste and aroma!


->Bonus
Apart from all above, this hometown of mine, specialized on seafood productions. Tons of factory exporting seafood products to all over the world. This business was lucrative a decade back but it seems to subside in recent context. Life is tough when demands from people change frequently.

Riding along the field is what you should do when you are in such place and environment! Also felt very fortunate to pick up riding skill on motorbike when I was age 14 - however, only allowed to ride in low dense area. *sob*


Time flies, people change.
Most of the neighbors that I used to know, relocate their home.
Good vibes decay over time and slowly this area is filled with illegal immigrants.
