Mee udang banjir Mak Teh of Kuala Sepetang (Port Weld)

One two three.. start.

MEE UDANG of PORT WELD.
Port Weld was renamed Kuala Sepetang recently, someone effort to erase its colonial past which I do not think necessary. Similarly Maxwell Hill was renamed as Bukit Larut. There is nationalistic feeling for doing it but I rather let colonial name stay as it would served as reminder to the future generation that we were once colonised. They would value our independence more and probably encouraged them to learn our history.

My journey to Port Weld was to find what is left of the oldest railway station in Malaysia. The first railway track was built to connect Taiping to this town, mainly to export tin in those days.

I could not find the station neither was there any sign post to indicate the place. I was hoping somebody would do that in future as I am sure there are many history buff (like me) who will be interested.

My trip was not wasted as I discovered Port Weld new attraction.. mee udang banjir Mak Teh.

Costing rm10 a bowl it was delicious, certainly worth the trip to this sleepy town.
