Kuala Sepetang Rasa Sayang Seafood
This restaurant is located at Kuala Sepetang, a fishing village near Taiping, Perak. They offer fresh and delicious seafood at affordable prices. I like their signature Sour Steamed Squid, Stir-fry Asparagus with Garlic, Deep Fried Shrimps and Lala Soup. The portions were big and value for money. For drinks, must order their Ampra Sour Plum juice, so tasty. The restaurant was built beside the river, windy, amazing sunset view. Other than seafood, you can also join the boat ride to see fireflies at night. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The only drawback is that service was a bit slow.

Sunset by Kuala Sepetang Fishing Village
Location - Port Weld Bridge, 152A, Tepi Sungai, Kuala Sepetang, Perak, Malaysia PC: 34650
Getting There - About 30minutes of 15km drive from Taiping town toward the West direction.
Attractions - There is a famous local food; the Kuala Sepetang Curry Noodle that contains fresh prawns and pig blood curd only available after 3:00pm which usually sold out very quickly during weekends.

Go to eigh
Go to eighteen to eat bread curry shrimp. Humanities and eco-tourism is liked by modern people. In recent years, the focus of tourism in Malaysia's Ipoh Taiping has gradually shifted to the 18th fishing village in the suburbs. On weekends, school holidays and public holidays, a large number of tourists flock to the 18th Ding sightseeing area, and the entire fishing village is noisy, just like the New Year.
Kuala Sepetang fishing village in the coastal area of Taiping, where fish, shrimps and crabs are abundant, it is said that every weekend, whether tourists or locals, they are also flocking. We just happened to meet Mother's Day on Sunday, and the seafood restaurant was so crowded that we had to wait patiently. Going to the fence and taking pictures, I saw that some fishing boats have already been parked in the harbor, and some are returning to the sea. In the distance, there are large mangroves, shaking and shaking, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Original bread curry shrimp, the signature dish of the seaside restaurant, you must drool when you see it. After eating the original prawns, use the rest of the juice to eat bread, it tastes great! Of course, you can also use curry sauce to eat with rice.

Weekend getaway from the city to Kuala Sepetang
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to take a short getaway to Kuala Sepetang, a charming destination rich in culture and natural beauty.
During the trip, I visited a traditional charcoal factory and observed the fascinating process of charcoal production. A speedboat ride along the river provided memorable experiences, including interacting with a puffer fish and witnessing the incredible spectacle of eagle feeding.
The highlight of the trip was definitely the second speedboat session at night to view the enchanting fireflies—a truly magical experience.
What stood out most was the warmth and hospitality of the Kuala Sepetang community, a refreshing contrast to the fast-paced city life. Their genuine friendliness and non calculating nature left a lasting impression.
