Kuala Sepetang, Kuala Sangga and Pantai Remis *** 十八丁,老港,班台 ( 3 )

Pantai Remis town 班台市区


We returned from Kuala Sangga Island to Kuala Sepetang at about 3:30 pm.

All of us bid farewell to Mr. Lee for his hospitality and assistance. My wife and I continued our journey to Pantai Remis while Peter and friends heading home to Ipoh.

The state route to Pantai Remis is straight and flat lined with oil palm trees. We arrived at my god-daughter Selina's house at Kg Sg Batu forty five minutes later. According to record, Kg Baru Sg Batu is the first Chinese new village in Perak established by the colonial authority about 60 years ago.

It was a family celebrations of grandma's 70th birthday and Selina's 19th birthday. All food were cooked by members of the family - delicious home-cooked food. More than 100 close friends and relatives attended the celebrations.

Pantai Remis is a beautiful coastal town with trees and shops along the main road. We stayed a night and left for home after breakfsast (Sunday).

Selina and grandmother returned to Singapore in the evening.

我们在下午大约三点半左右回到十八丁,向李先生道别,并感谢他的接待及向导。过后我和太太继程前往班台,而兴文及朋友则取道回怡保。

从十八丁到班台的州际公路平坦笔直,沿途都是棕油芭,只需四十五分钟,就抵达班台,双溪巴都新村乾女儿欣茹的家。据资料显示,双溪巴都新村是英政府六十年前,在霹雳建立的第一个新村。

这是一个生日庆祝会,庆祝欣茹十九岁生日及婆婆的七十岁生日。这是一个家庭庆典,食物都是家族成员烹煮的美味拿手佳肴。当晚约有超过一百名亲戚及朋友参加。

班台是一个沿海市镇,道路两旁有许多树木及商店。我们在那儿住宿了一夜,在早餐后(星期天),就启程回家了。

欣茹及婆婆则也在傍晚回去新加坡。
