Prawn Fishing town of Pantai Remis
The coastal region after Teluk Intan and going north to Penang has always seem so remote and little known. In our daily bussiness in Kuala Lumpur, we bumped into friends coming from places with exoctic names like Pantai Remis. What is this place like apart from hearsay that it sends out huge quantity of prawns.
Surprise again, it is a modern "Cowboy" town. One straight and long main street with modern shop houses on both sides. Restaurants, coffee shops and hawkers center with proper bus terminals tell us that we missed seeing the original settlement.

With a stroke of luck, traditions never dies. The young maiden at the Petrol Station directed us behind the houses at the far end of town. Hey Presto! The old Pantai Remis! |
Not only did we find the old town, we also found the best food stalls [Depends on how you define -"best"]
| Many would have gone for the air-conditioned restuarants and bringing out the best food this small town can provide. We opt for the ambience and the best food this place can provide for its residents. |  |
People who dwell in these narrow streets and living in the wooden houses.

Good pictues for memory of that wonderful lunch of Fish Paste [authentic hokkien "Hu pow" and best prepared Teochew porridge] Isent Joyce into the kitchen to check out the very aromatic dish that was being prepared- curry stingray, hainan style. |
This is the end of town where the old would end up meeting the new town.
