On Mother’s Day we drove to Sekinchang, a little village half an hour from Kuala Selangor. Our destination was a small home restaurant which served sea food. Although we arrived early, all the tables ( ten ) were occupied. As is the practice, we stood beside the table where the diners were finishing their last drop of Chinese tea. As soon as they vacated their seats, we promptly sat down and waited for the table to be cleared. Failing to do this could mean that someone else would sit and claim the table.
My brother ordered a steamed fish Teochew style,
porridge cooked with shark meat,
small clams ( lala ) steamed with ginger,
shrimps cooked in chili and curry leaves
and a dish of stir-fried sweet potato leaves which were very crunchy.
The food came out steaming hot and the sea food was very fresh, the likes of which are not available in the big cities.
It was a lovely Mother’s Day lunch and satiated, we made our way to Kuala Selangor where we purchased pastries fresh from the oven, seafood snacks dried cuttle fish and special prawn crackers.
That done we made our way home. There were still some lush padi (rice) fields
and fruit stalls by the road side. We stopped to buy some mangoes.
Then it was a smooth ride home in good time for us to catch the musical at the Istana Budaya.
The musical was called Chow Kit Road, Chow Kit Road, which is actually the name of a street in Kuala Lumpur. The story is based on the life of people in Chow Kit Road.
The songs are those sung by the famous late singer Sudirman and the cast put on a superb show, with strong vocals and well-choreographed dances. It was a local production so the musical was in Malay, our national language.
It was a day well-spent and I had a good time with my family.
