Mee Udang lagi…sepetang di Kuala Sepetang

 

31st August 2012

Tak complete cuti kami kalau tak pegi makan mee udang.  Menjadi acara tahunan keluarga kami setiap kali pulang ke tanah air.  Walau pack macamana sekalipon…yang ni mesti kena pegi….kalau tak nanti mesti termimpi2 mee udang kat tengah padang pasir!

Nampaknye makin cantik kedai Mak Teh selepas dua tahun lepas kami menziarah.  Tahun lepas kami ke Mee Udang pulau sayak.  Taun ni tak sempat nak gi jauh2.   Apapon…dua2nye tetap sedap dan menyelerakan.

Tengok tu…berseleranya!

Sebelum…..

Selepas….

Dah kenyang perut, tetiba terasa nak ke pekan Taiping.  Alang2 sampai Taiping, kami meneruskan niat untuk ke Night Safari Zoo Taiping.  Lama dah pasang niat nak ke sana, tak sampai2 jugak.  Akhirnya, walaupon jarum jam sudah menunjukkan ke angka 10..kami meneruskan niat untuk melawat zoo.  Takut pasni tak jadi lagi.

Well…not bad after all.  Cumanya best lagi kalau diorang tambahkan lampu.  Tak puas rasanye tengok binatang2 liar ni dalam gelap.   Tambahan pula keretapi roda zoo ni jalan agak laju la jugak.  Landscape zoo ni memang menarik.  Kalau siang mesti lagi cantik.  Memandangkan kitorang masuk pon dah lewat…jadinya tak la berpeluang nak bersiar2 dengan kaki.

Hopefully, next time boleh datang lagi waktu siang pulak.-tw

Yeah!  Akhirnya sampai jugak ke Zoo Taiping Night Safari…

Mee Udang Pulau Sayak

Every body loves good food, we do as well. But, not crazy lover, Laila-Majnun, Romeo-Juliet type of food lovers.

For you food-lovers out there, how far you would go for a plate of mee udang?

Would you go more than 200 km for it? That was what we did last week. We drove almost 250 km up north to *Pulau Sayak, about 10 km from Pantai Merdeka, Kedah to eat a plate of fresh mee udang! That's the farthest we went in our life, ever, just to eat!

So, you might ask, how was it? Good? Great? So-so? Berbaloi?
Before we made any conclusion, lets savor yourself with a plate of mee udang yourself, but just in picture lah.

*note – eventhough called “Pulau” or “island”, it is actually not an island.

This is obviously not Mee Udang, or udang (prawns). This is the jeruk (pickles) stall in Penang on our way to Mee Udang Pulau Sayak. One kilo, RM8.

Azim volunteer to be the Pickles Model for the stall ;-)

You can taste and eat as much as you can, said the seller.

 

Usop Mee Udang Pulau Sayak

Looking into the dark of the beach at Usop Mee Udang Pulau Sayak.

 

The beach…

Haa.. this is the mee udang. Delicious? RM10 per plate.

Another shot of the Mee Udang, nice! Terliur aku tengok gambo ni..

Azim can’t wait to taste it…

This is Kue Teow Udang, Atuk’s favourite

Aftermath.. licin (spick and span).. Alhamdulillah.

 

Only left with shrimps skin and used tissues...

Conclusion:
OK, now we gave our verdict.
The mee udang is indeed very nice. Fresh sea prawn, nicely cooked, with the nice taste of the gravy, eating by the sound of the beach and wind from the sea, coupled with fresh orange juice, it was indeed a very good moment.

But, as for us the commoners food lovers, we really can't differentiate if the taste of Pulau Sayak Mee Udang is better than what we had last year at Mak Jah Mee Banjir Udang, Kuala Sepetang which much nearer to our house. After all, it was already one year ago since we had the Mak Jah Mee Udang. One thing for sure, if it is during the day time (as opposed to night time that we had) it would be much nicer to have a view of the sea, while it is also possible for the kids to play at the beach.

Anyhow, what most important for us is having another chance to spend our time together as family; and it was the most precious and great memorable moment that we shouldn't forget.

Until the next Mee Udang... - &th

Sepetang di Kuala Sepetang

October 2010

Udoh lame mike dengo citer pasal mee udang Kuale Sepetang ni, lame juge doh teringin nok pegi singgoh ke sane. Akhirnyo di suatu petang itu selepas 2 hari berlibur di Bukit Merah Laketown, dapat jue kami pi ke Kuale Sepetang.

Kuale Sepetang di waktu petang2 ni tak de la ape sangat, cuma mee udang dia tu la yang agak gah walaupun dengar katanya dah tak segah dulu. Dari kejauhan lagi (kira2 8-10km) dah ada sign board bg tau "Mee Udang Mak Jah 8km lagi", kemudian 1km lps tu, ada lagi "Mee Udang Mak Jah 7km". Lepaih 1km kemudian ada lagi dan lagi dan lagi… memang nampak gah sangat Mee Udang Mak Jah ni..

Sepanjang jln tu ada tak kurang 10 buah warung/restoran yang ada "Mee Udang". Ada yang masih tutop (mgkn beroperasi mlm aje), ada yang dah buke.

Kami lajak ke pekan Kuala Sepetang tu kejap, memang kecik jelah pekan dia. Dengo kate ade gak chalet Kuala Sepetang ni, tapi takdelah plan nak pegi.

Lepaih tu kami pusing balik, dan singgahlah di "Mee Banjir Udang Mak Teh" menikmati makan petang a.k.a makan tengahari kami. Memang banjir udang dia.... Rasanya? Hmm.. 1st time kami makan mee udang seumpama ini, dengan banyoknya udang kebanjiran dalam mangkuk kami, sampe kena selak udang dulu baru jumpa mee. Memang kira bestlah. Cuma yang tak best tu cuma mee dia tu kureng sikit je. Yelah, mee dia kureng.. kureng apa? Kureng mee la.. Kalo lagi banyok mee dia lagi best sebab lagi kenyang la kami.

 

Mee Udang Ternak RM7, Mee Udang Laut RM10

 

Mee Udang Takde Mee..

Kuetiaw Takde Udang 

Mee Udang Kureng Mee

Mee Ekor Udang..

Sedapnyeeee….

Pastu pekena milo ais..

Pastu baru le bole tunjuk muka puas hati.

Menu yang paling spesel.. Mee Kulit Udang!

Overall, in summarynya ialah “Kami akan singgah lagi untuk main banjir udang, insyaAllah.” – th
