Car ride

Hubby, MIL, Jay and I went for a car ride on the 13th day of CNY. A Sunday.

We woke up early, so we went for breakfast in our favourite coffee shop, Y. Y. Cafe. Around 930am, the four of us left for Matang. Jan and Jamie stayed at home, while we went to check out on a property in Matang. Then we continued our car ride to Telaga Air. 

It was a nice morning for a countryside car ride so we took it light and easy. 

Like in the past, we had our lunch in D'White Station. Order of a set of the spicy seafood since only 4 of us. 

We also have a plate of midin but to our disappointment, it was not good. Tough, really not edible. 


Total bill was RM52 plus drinks for our lunch. Now the younger generation took over the business, sadly it wasn't as good as before. 

After lunch, we made a round around the small town. Wanted to buy some crabs at the market but unfortunately no more. So we headed back to Kuching. 

However we did not leave Telaga Air empty-handed at all. We made a stop at this Lemang House on our way back to buy some Lemang. Besides Lemang, they also sell rendang beef, rendang chicken and satay. 

RM10 lemang

They have different pricing for different length of Lemang, we opted for the shorter length. 

RM5 for this tube of peanut gravy

We also bought 1 tube of peanut gravy to go with lemang.
RM1.20 per stick for chicken, RM1.50 per stick for beef

Then at the side of the shop, they were grilling the satay. Option of chicken, beef and lamb but only chicken and beef satay were available at that time. So, we bought 10 sticks each for chicken and beef satay. And they gave us 2 small packs of peanut gravy!!! Btw, the peanut gravy was nice, we kept the tube in the fridge and finished off the 2 small packs.

Lemang was soft and fragrant. Option of pandan and original flavour, we bought the original flavour. It was very nice. Satay was nice and we'll marinated too. 

So we were happy with our purchase in Lemang House. It was just opposite to the place where we bought the coconut milkshake on our last visit.

From Telaga Air, we went home to our area. Made a stop at the bakery shop to get some snacks and bread for kids, and then to optometry shop to pick up my MIL and Jay's new glasses. 

We reached home slightly after 12 noon. It was been a nice morning car ride. Jan and Jamie were having their lunch (which I ordered from Food panda while on the road) when we got home.

A property in Matang? Going to buy land, build a bungalow...or buying a new house? Matang used to be very popular for the Matang pools, like the Ranchang ones in Serian. Never hear people talking about them anymore. I guess they have passed their time.

Wah! Taukeh Soh looking for a property! Buy bungalow house?

The beef satay looks very dark but yummy to me. It has been a long time I have not eaten any lemang. I will wait for Hari Raya to come when many stall would be up by the road side.

I miss satay and lemang very much. Haven't have satay and lemang for a long time.
