Breakfast at Kuala Sanglang

Today had breakfast at Kuala Sanglang. This is one of the places where fishermen land their catches in Kedah. Had rice with fried prawns, 'kembong curry', sambal belacan, cucumber and 'tek tarik'. Fresh sea-food - excellent!! But the place is a somewhat rickety wooden shed beside the jetty where the boats are tied. The jovial old men of the sea were eager to tell you stories you could stuck there for hours. Those seemingly poor people are really warm and cheerful and have more money than they can spent, at least that's what the impression they gave me! The place can do with better infrastructure now that we're in the 21st century. But really the people are happy as it is. They were lucky not affected by the December tsunami unlike in places like Sg.Baru and Kota Kuala Muda.
