Scenic paddy field, yummy seafood n cottage industry - A regional area with lots to offer. Scenic padi field and opportunity to visit a paddy mill. Plenty of yummy and affordable seafood restaurants. Do visit the wet market, plenty of fresh fruits and things to buy. Don't forget to buy back some fresh seafood - superfresh and cheap. They packed it very well and provided us with shaved ice. Stop by the beach to enjoy the breeze and enjoy the swing (not perfect but bolehlah). Pop by Ah Ma cottage shop n enjoy some kueh kapit and baulu. Enjoy some great memories of the past. If u passed 50's 🙂
