Kuantan Pix

Some pix from my Kuantan trip.. Enjoy...



Eyes on the ball. Alamak, saiz betis macam rugby player lar.

Fresh seafood at Tanjung Api. We got there quite late already, thus, most of the fish stock were almost finished.

Tanjung Api fishermen village.

Before we left Kuantan, stopped at a roadside stall for lunch. Marvellous collection of authentic Kuantan delicacies and kuihs.

We ate 2 fried kembong, 4 sticks of deep fried prawns (5 prawns per stick). Very very fresh.

Nasi dagang and tuna with gravy. Notice the white rice compared to coloured rice in the Kelantanese version.

Laksam or laksae. Thick-rolled but flat pasta rice goes with thick coconut fish gravy, a tinge of belacan/fish paste, veggie condiments and sambal. The gravy is not as thick as the Kelantanese version but rich enough for a savoury delight.

Basket full of keropok lekor/fish fritters.

4 sticks of sata ikan. 1 stick has got 4 satas.

Kuih - lepat ubi, pulut dakap (inti ikan?), peria (the pink colour) and akok (yes, akok)


You can get all the above and many more at this humble but famous 'Mok Naa' stall. It is located on the right side of the road, about 1.5km from the bridge heading towards Tanjung Lumpur. You'll see a Petronas nearby there. Highly recommended. Price is very reasonable. I paid RM52 for the above plus 4 glasses of fresh orange juices, teh o ais, ABC and RM15 of tapau sata ikan. cool, huh?

Make sure you get there before 4pm or else makan asap jelah.


They make the keropok lekor at the stall.


.....and fry them immediately. the one on the right was the fried prawns on sticks.

If you are in Kuantan, be sure to drop by at Mok Naa stall.

At this point of time, 'Tri'ing wasnt even a consideration, okay.

Whenever i travelled, i always try to find the taste the local delicacies that shaped the community. Suka sgt.
