Located in Matang, a riverine town near the coast of Perak, it is about 10km away from Taiping town. After the Maxwell Hill sampler, we headed there for lunch. Famous for its fresh seafood, its signature dish must be the porridge. Customised to your liking, you can add prawns, crabs, fishballs, pompfret fish etc. Pricing is reasonable. Other finger-licking stuff includes the fried oysters in batter (or chien), shellfish, mussels, and on some days, shark meat.

First time that I have seen that the spiky shellfish being served as a dish. How do you it the content? Suck it? Must be very careful to get your lips pricked!!
You use a toothpick to pick out the flesh. Crunchy, springy and absolutely heavenly.... Don't suck it out like balitong, otherwise you'll have spiked lips !
Where the hell is Matang? More specifically, how to go to this restraunt?
It's on the way to Port Weld. You have been away too long! Detail instructions when you're serious about making the trip...
