Sekinchan Food

Had a rather random trip to Sekinchan with aunt and cousin. Talking about Sekinchan, you will think of the paddy field and fishing village. But what I want to share here is the food, so cheap and fresh plus delicious. Took too many photo with the beautiful scenery of the paddy field and beach, will share it later after this post I guess? :P

So, let's start with our tea time or rather we call it the brunch? We had some light snack at the paddy processing factory after our tour in the factory itself about the processing of rice. The snacks are all made from their product which is the rice. It was just so so but definitely special I would say? Rice popiah and dessert of red bean or corn with rice. The rice popiah is too hard to crunch on although it's fried. But the hot red bean is worth the try though. Order it hot, not the cold ones. Although cold ones is much more cheaper which is RM2 while the hot ones will be RM3 per cup.

We had our late lunch at Jiann Chyi which is famous with their shark meat. Oh, the restaurant is close at 3pm so make sure you come earlier. This restaurant is rather famous and easy to spot, it's located right after your turning to the village. And the crowd outside the restaurant definitely level up your curiosity. A photo snapping the sky together with the building, trying hard to be artistic as I'm waiting for my queue. While waiting, they will first take your order so when you get a place to dine the food will arrive just few minutes later. We ordered ourselves shark porridge, fish maw and sweet potato leaves. And not to forget their homemade sha li drink. Our total bill is just around RM55.

We have our sort of snack at the beach with a plate of fried squid and coconut drink. A total bill of RM17. Nothing special on the food but the scenery is breathtaking. There's also a few stall selling kerepok and souvenir.

Lastly our dinner at Lon Chen, the best meal! The food is so so fresh, come just right with the sauce, and the generous portion of small size dish with cheap price. But you will need to wait for some time before you are being served. It's air condition, so that doesn't matter anyhow. It open at 5.30pm, the earliest restaurant open for dinner we found. We order sweet sour bobtail squid, lala soup, vegetable and crab. There's no photo for crab cause I'm just too excited to eat and totally forgot to take a picture of it. And guess how much does all this cost with tea pot and 2 rice. It's only RM63! So so cheap I tell you, definitely worth it cause it's so so nice.

Might travel to Sekinchan again next week, haha! Remember to bring along your ice box if you want to buy their seafood fresh there, there's eel, cuttlefish, prawn, shark, crab and etc. The price is rather standard. I bought their fish ball previously, it was so so nice and you know it's fresh from the first bite, definitely different from the already pack freeze storage ones. Will love to go back and buy another pack.
