After the accidental discovery of a Malay stall proposing a do-it-yourself Assam Laksa dish, we finally were about to reach the initial target of our expedition journey. It’s situated close to the sea, along a small river in the Kampung Jalan Baru, a Chinese community close to Batik Pulau.
I saw a lot of private houses that were having hawker stalls on their grounds, although most of them were not in operation. We got the impression it was a friendly small community where everybody knew everybody. Next time we visit, I want to walk a little around in the village and also follow the river to the sea. Maybe we could try to ask some of the locals to show us around in one of their little fishing boats.
So,there it was! We finally found the place. We drove into a big parking lot and were ready for some reputed food. The house in the background was the major cooking place. Alongside a house in front, there were also a few stalls, selling Loh Bak and fruits.
Loh Bak and Fruit stalls
Assam Laksa & Hokkien Mee ready to be served! At the left side of the house in the back, there is a covered terrace with tables and seats for the customers.In the beginning there only was one other table being occupied but by the time we left, people were already waiting to be seated.
About the quality of the Hokkien mee and the Assam Laksa, we can only agree that it is up to its reputation! I really recommend this place without hesitation and I suggest that you gals and guys go and try it out for yourself. The people serving and cleaning the tables were all very friendly. It’s a small family business from their house, only open for customers during the weekends.
The Loh Bak was also very tasty.
A big bowl with tasty succulent Hokkien Mee.
The Laksa, very rich with a thick fish soup.
It was our first visit but clearly, we will be back for more.
All those little fishing boats along the river leave a very nice impression and add to the attractiveness of this Kampung. It’s clearly not yet a site for visiting tourists and I hope it stays that way.
