Kuala Kurau Salted Eggs

Last Thursday we "attacked" the northern region, we went to Kerian in the morning and Taiping in the afternoon.  The five of us set out again in the early morning, reaching Kerian at around 9.30am...
The historic landmark in Parit Buntar, Kerian....
After this turning, we reached our district office.... 
The district office...
Another beautiful indoor landscape right in the middle of two buildings..
Spent the whole morning in this office doing some work....
After lunch, we proceeded to Kuala Kurau....
Famous for their salted fish... lots seen drying on the sidewalks....
And famous for Salted Eggs as well.....
Salted eggs that come with grading......
Some educational knowledge here...
The mud that is being used to "preserve" the duck eggs....
And the black burnt barley seeds/leaves (not so sure) that is used to wrap up the mud.... 
Since this is a factory, the salted eggs should be very fresh.....
But I didn't buy any.....
Instead I bought dried prawns instead... 
They look very fresh!
In the afternoon, we drove on to Taiping...
We spent some hours there slogging again....
And finally it is all done....
Just look at my hair...
From natural back to yellow?  Or is it white??
I am indeed growing old.... gracefully, I hope....

  1. I love travelling by car, can enjoy seeing the beautiful scenery but on the other hand, it can be tiring. The dried prawns looks very fresh. I think it's the lighting that makes your hair looks yellowish.

  10. Your hair looks good, it looks like you had it streaked. Many pay lots of big money here to have it done every couple months. We do not have salted eggs here, wish I could taste one...I love both eggs and salt!
