Pekan Sehari @ Temerloh

MOH and I have reached to a consensus that when ever we go to new places, we will make the most of the journey. Sambil menyelam minum air gitu. Seperti biasa, saya akan buat sedikit research tentang tempat-tempat menarik untuk dikunjungi. While searching for info for Temerloh in the Majlis Daerah website, I found that one of the interesting places to visit in Temerloh is Pekan Sehari at Sungai Temerloh. Wow! It must be something very interesting otherwise it shouldn't be in the tourism pamphlet right?

Jom Temerloh kite!

Pagi-pagi (xkan nak tunggu t/hari kan nak gi pasar) after breakfast @ BBR's Restaurant kami dapatkan sedikit direction dari resep kat situ. She was very informative but unfortunately her info led us to a wrong place! Hahaha...

By the way, Pasar Sehari ni hanya beroperasi pada hari Ahad, di tepi Sungai Temerloh. Kalau uols nak ke sana, senang je. Pasar ni terletak di pekan lama Temerloh, near to Perhentian Bas Lama. Senang je nak cari, sebab pekan sehari nie terletak di belakang Masjid Abu Bakar, Temerloh. Kalau dari Mentakab/KL, sampai trafik light berdekatan Hotel Jelai (sebelah kanan), turn left. Terus and you'll pass Balai Polis, TM Point and terus until you nampak Restoran Pemuda MCA. Turn left and you'll see a Petronas station. The pekan sehari is there. 

 Nampak sate tu? Marvelous u!

Memang happening sangat kat sini. Tips: jalan sebelah kiri dulu, you'll find very interesting barang-barang include the signature ikan patin (fresh), udang galah (fresh from sungai), ulam-ulaman kampung, ikan pekasam, ayam/arnab hidup, brg kraftangan - tikar mengkuang, keris, parang etc termasuk jua kerepek, pakaian and even selimut MAS pun ada. Manalah p.cik tu rembat banyak2 selimut flight tu... 

 Ikan pekasam, ikan kunyit, ikan fresh

 Ulam-ulaman

 Ikan laeh/laes (x berapa pasti sebab dialek penjual ikan ni saya x berapa faham)

 Udang galah RM65/kg

Ayam / Arnab for sale

Ubi gantung

Ikan salai - boleh masak lemak campur pucuk ubi

When i told abang we're going to Mentakab, he said Mentangkap apa? Means nak tangkap apa Umi? Alahai, nak buat camne vocab dia baru takat tu, so layan je lah.. I cakap ngan dia, Mentangkap ikan patin. And guess what? He's so excited. Memang pun, kat pasar tu dia asyik lari ke sana sini, kejap2 tengok ikan patin, kejap2 tengok ayam 'tok dalang'. It was a great exposure for him. 

So, inilah hasil 'tangkapan' saya:-

2 ekor udang galah

Ayam kampung salai - harga ikut size

Dah penat round, kitorang singgah makan kat gerai tepi sungai (gambar kat atas tu). Ada special menu kat sini, sate & nasi impit RM3/sepinggan. The interesting part about this sate is the kuah, bukan kuah kacang tapi kuah warna kuning. Saya x pasti apa ingredientnya. Nak kata kuah rendang bukan, tapi memang sedap. 

Sate with kuah X...:)

Sebenarnya, banyak tempat menarik kat M'sia nie... Take your time off from your busy schedule and pergilah melancong, semuanya ada di Malaysia!  You'll find it is worth traveling though you spent only 1/2 day at the Pekan Sehari - you'll meet with the locals, understand their culture and it'll keep our feet on the ground, insha Allah. The most important things, it is one of the ways for us to expose our kids with the beauty of life.
