A visit to Temerloh 淡马鲁之行

 

十一月八日，星期天， 我与太太，还有李太（陈少芳）及凌太（吴秀梅）到彭亨州的淡马鲁，参加在小刘（Lau）家举行的集会。


我们都是2012年，云南摄影之旅 的队员。我们在结束那趟旅游之后，许多队员以脸书及集会保持联络，因此成为了朋友。（可以观看我们的旅程）

八位队员去年在加影就集会了一次 （观看我们又见面了）

前往淡马鲁途中，我们在文冬停留，拜访了林志强。志强刚刚在今天的星报新闻中，被公布为亚太摄影比赛中，获得第一名。

我们为此而高兴，与他一起到武吉公满新村吃午餐，作为庆祝。

午餐后，我们续程前往淡马鲁。

淡马鲁是彭亨州第二大的城市，坐落在两条河交汇处，并以盛产河鱼出名。它的另一个称号是“巴丁鱼城市，因为这里出产美味的巴丁鱼 (Patin) 而出名。

小刘与太太Jessy 热情的欢迎我们，并一同到一家咖啡店喝茶。他们特别介绍道地的Kiam-Si茶（茶加炼奶及鲜奶）

这次能够出席的队员除了我们之外，还有来自吉隆坡的Yi Von，Eagle Leong, Chong 和Elayne夫妇。

往后的24小时里，我们就是吃、喝及游玩。小刘夫妇介绍了我们许多道地的美食佳肴，其中一道非常特别的是淡马鲁马来式Tempoyak Ikan Patin ，一道以发酵榴莲作配料的巴丁鱼。

我们也逛了星期天的露天市集。这里沿着整公里的道路，有着上百档位，售卖着本地的特产、水果、鲜鱼、食物及家庭用品，非常的热闹。

我们在星期天下午约三点左右，离开淡马鲁，尽兴而归。

谢谢小刘夫妇的热情及慷慨的接待。

明年再见！
