This village consist of several stilt houses built over water. It shows a different way of life. The village is divided into many alleys with numbers and houses are also numbered.

It is a must see if you haven't seen this types of water villages. …

I was told that here, we can get fresh seafood noodle and other stuff so I decided to be here as early as 7am. Simply tuck into a small jetty house and offered Mee Kicap without soup. It was a breath taking moment when the noodle came with plenty of seafood such as scallop, fish slice squid, prawn and fish cake thus barely cost RM6.50. Must try this in early morning folks …
