1 Day Trip to Teluk Intan (Diamond Bay)

The reason that we made this trip was because Teluk Intan was both my mom & hubby's hometown but we haven't been back for years.

The drive to Teluk Intan is about 2.5-3 hours from Kuala Lumpur.

Our first stop is at the Jalan Maharani's hawker stalls.

Lots of stall here @ Jalan Maharani

Family :)

Nasi kunyit with char siew. Nice but the char siew is a too fatty.

a typical Teluk Intan's chili sauce. It's more watery that the ones in KL

Soy milk stall @ Jalan Maharani

This is supposed to be famous but I found it pretty average.

Local fruits @ Jalan Maharani

Local fruits are really cheap here. It's about half of the price that we pay in KL.

Wet market near Jalan Maharani

Black cat for sale?

Coffee @ a random coffee shop

My mom says Teluk Intan's coffee is the best. It's thick and has a strong aroma, but it's too sweet for my taste. From my experience, most of the small town's drinks are usually too sweet.

This coffeeshop sells pastries too.

The famous Rojak Ah Chai

The prawn crackers was super crunchy and there are a lot of fruits in this rojak.

I would prefer the Penang's rojak over this cause I prefer the sauce with lots of prawn paste.

Do shop for Teluk Intan's heong pneah

We spent a whole day at Teluk Intan and it's really nothing much to do here so went to Rapid Mall which is the largest mall in Teluk Intan. At Rapid Mall, we shopped at Giant, had foot massage, chill at Sushi King, then Mcdonalds.
