A few weeks back, we brought our kids 'balik kampung' to visit my aunt Mak Teh in Temerloh, Pahang. The tranquil kampung environment was just the break we needed from the hustle and bustle of city life (if u consider Ipoh busy enough!). We called up our old friends Hidayah (who works nearby at Klinik Kesihatan Maran) and her hubby Fauzan over to join us overnight at Mak Teh's house.
While catching up on old stories, suddenly Fauzan casually mentioned, "Korang, nak tak esok kita pegi makan udang galah dkt Laban Chondong...."
..........and before we knew it, the next day we found ourselves packed in our faithful old Honda CRV, embracing ourselves for a 180-km roadtrip to Leban Chondong just to eat udang galah! Owh, and we dragged along our kids too (3 hyper-active toddlers and 1 baby). Yup, we're dat crazy!!! Did i mention that we LoVE adventures? :)

Along the way, we stopped by Pekan for some cendol and rojak at Hamid Cendol....yum yum!
Check out Daniel's drumstick! *chomp!*
The journey took us about 4hours (with many pitt-stops along the way). Finally we ariived at our destination. It turns out to be R&R Leban Chondong. There are many stalls selling udang galah, but many recommends the one at the end, which happens to be attracting the largest number of customers.

can't wait to dig in!!
The udang galah came in different sizes, from C (smallest) to A+ (REALLY big!). The price of the dish will depend on the size of the prawns. We settled down with B+ sized prawns.
Yummy udang galah!

...tido kekenyangan.
We arrived back in Temerloh at night. All in all, it was an enjoyable trip. We all had fun, and having friends who are "same head" (sekepala) with us makes the trip more worthwile. Would we do it again? Definitely!
