Belachan Udang Kak Chik (30 July, 2016)

Belachan Udang Kak Chik (GPS: 6.36975, 100.14262) is a stall selling belacan near the coast of Perlis. It is a stall along State Route 152, near the crossroad to Kampung Kurung Tengar. The belacan is made on site. My wife and I saw this stall when we were exploring the coastal areas of Perlis, and so we decided to stop the car and have a look.

We met the lady Kak Chik herself, as she was busy drying her belachan in the sun. As you would expect, the place smells to high heaven. Nevertheless we didn't let the smell of belacan overwhelm us, and had a look around at the belacan on sale there. Cakes of belacan are sold in small packs. Thinking that this was going to be very good belacan, my wife bought a few packs home.

For your information, we had to throw away all the belacan. As my wife later discovered, the belacan simply contained too much impurities that it was just not acceptable for her to use. In future we would be more careful before doing any impromptu shopping.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
