TANJUNG DAWAI REVISITED

   16th MAY 2025    ~ I did not have this place in my itinerary list; actually, I did not have any specific itinerary during my stay in Sungai Petani. However, a friend of UPM TESL Class of 1993, Puan Zur'aiza Abd. Hamid [and her husband] was kind enough to take me to Tanjung Dawai that Friday afternoon. This was my second time visiting Tanjung Dawai. The first time was two years ago [READ HERE].

The first pit stop was a shop called Legasi Cikgu Fauzi. The mission was to buy salted fish to bring back home. And mission was successfully accomplished. The shop was huge and modern, and one good thing they received payment using credit card.

The next pit stop was to embark on another gastronomic adventure. The visit to Tanjung Dawai would be complete without eating its popular Mee Udang [TRANSLATE: Prawn Noodles].

Puan Zur'aiza took me to this place called Rumpun Mambu. There were many diners eating when we arrived. According to my friend, this place was popular for its signature cuisine, and on weekends, people had to wait in line to be seated as it was always crowded. I had my first Mee Udang in Tanjung Dawai somewhere else [READ HERE].

The Mee Udang here was commendable and hopefully there would be another next time.

I have to thank Puan Zur'azia and her husband, Mr. Ismail, for the breakfast date in the morning [READ HERE] and the trip to Tanjung Dawai in the afternoon. They came all the way from Jeniang to entertain me during my stay in Kedah. May we meet again some other day, perhaps when there are other wedding invitations.
