In Temerloh for a dish of ikan patin...

After the wedding the ceremony in Jengka is complete and done, we immediately head back for Kuala Lumpur. On the way we stopped at Temerloh, a main town beside the Pahang river...

Here's a look at the bridge across the river...

We were near these row of stalls...

Actually we stopped in Temerloh to sample the local delicacy, ikan patin (a type of fish) cooked in a style called masak lemak gulai tempoyak. Sorry, I'm not good at translating culinary delights and related terms.

Too bad the charges were rather exorbitant... perhaps the stall owner took advantage of the fact that we're outsiders stopping for their famous local dish without knowning its actual price. Never mind that, it did taste good. We console ourselves by saying that it's not often we get to enjoy the ikan patin masak lemak gulai tempoyak, quite famous in Kuala Lumpur too, at its place of origin!

Anyway, the stalls were near the old bus stand...




Then we saw these riverside parts which looks more scenic...

Apparently this is were the locals like to hang out...

Here you can get a clearer view of the river and across...

You could also get a better view of the bridge albeit from further away. Cheers! :]
