Getting there: At the heart of town.

Meal: Desert

The place does not have a name. It is known to be the best ais kacang in town and some say Malaysia, so the shop keeper claims.

Possibly the best in town, I notice most of the patrons drop by, not because it was good, most do not know what is good. They happen to walk around town and decide to stop by on a hot day.

Horrible cendol but decent ais kacang. Can improve on the size though. Possibly to encourage you to go for seconds. Price a bit steep at RM1.50 for a tiny bowl.

Remarks: They take pride in their ais kacang, claiming that it is the best in Malaysia, especially their red beans. I had really good cendol from Masjid Tanah near by just a day before. Best I ever had, unfortunately, someone “ta pau” instead of bringing me there. I also heard of a good cendol from Seremban to Senawang via the old road. I’d rather go out of the way for these cendol.

Getting there: At the roundabout, cross the disused railway tracks and turn right. The place is under a really huge tree.

Meal: Lunch

Possibly the best Fish Head Curry in Port Dickson. I am not a Fish Head Curry fan, but I am in Port Dickson, where can I find good food during lunch? Maybe the KFC near by which I know serves really huge chicken years ago. Wonder why the size difference in this town.

Service was really good, the moment you step in, they want to get you seated and take orders immediately. The place was half-filled when I was there, with flies outnumbering people. Possibly a good sign of good food or a bad sign of poor hygiene.

The fish came slightly raw in the core, not the first time it happened. It is an indication that they threw in a frozen fish without thawing. After all, raw ingredients in this town seem hard to come by for some reason. The dish must be a proven recipe formula but the art of proper heating seems to be lacking. Or is it because if the increasing cost of gas and they are stingy on heat. Hey, this is an energy town! Power station and petroleum refinery is a stone throw from this place!

The vegetables are really sloppy and they encourage to have side orders such as fried chicken.

The teh tarik I ordered came with a cap. I supposed it s to make it exclusive to me and not share it with the he gang of flies next table. The place is very cool, possibly due to the generous shade provided by a large tree at the entrance.

Remarks: Becoming touristier. Used to cost less than RM 10 a head for a meal (2 years ago), now it cost about RM 13 a head above.
