The Kuantan River...

I grew up in Kuantan, a small town on the east coast of Malaya. Thus the Kuantan River is part of my growing up culture. We live not that far away from the river at a shop-house at Wall Street, now known as Jalan Mahkota. From time to time my grandfather who live at Peramu on the other side of the river would take me to his kampong house by boat. It was really exciting to sit on the small boat been paddle across the river. We were never allows to play near the river since it is not safe as there are crocodiles there. As such no one would swim even near the riverbank. Anyway I love to walk along the bank and enjoy the beautiful scene of mangrove swamp on the other sides. Above is the scene of the river as seen today.

Have a nice day.

It is the creation of our ancestors where fish have always been their main protein source; sort of the wisdom of the old. A wise creation indeed and because of it we still kept enjoying it I have always love Ikan Singgang especially when Ikan Aya [Tuna fish] is use but it always taste as good even with other fish like Tenggiri or Kerisi. When making this simple dish one herb/spice that is a must is Lengkuas [Galangal] for without it the Singgang is not complete. The above image of Ikan Singgang is made with Ikan Tenggiri. Delicious as usual. Taken with steamy white rice and Budu [Anchovies sauce] or Sambal Belacan [Shrimp sauce] it is heaven already. I posted that image on Facebook and below are two informative comments made th...

I love gardening and with the little space that I got in front of my patio I planted many greens including the one that flowers throughout the years. As they say flowers are the keepers of our Joys. Indeed they are. I am always happy when looking at these wonderful God's creation. Here are some of the flowers that blooms in my little garden as well those that grows in front of the house. Enjoy it folks much as I had enjoyed growing them. Have a nice day.
