To Lundu to buy fish & prawns



Yesterday was a public holiday-Prophet Muhammad's birthday so naturally Mark and Jessica were having their day off. Jessica and her colleagues went to Damai Resort for an overnight stay.
I suggested to Mark and Sylvia for a trip to Lundu to which both agreed. After sending Jessica to her Office to meet up with her colleagues, we left for Lundu at 10.00AM, arriving at Lundu at 11.30AM.














Sylvia made a quick check at the fish market, but was told to check again at 1.00PM.

We went to the vegetable market, bought some local vegetables and then had our lunch at the foodstall at the first floor. It was a simple fare of stirred fried mixed vegetables with seafood and fish head soup with pickled mustard.

After Lunch we took a short drive to Holy Spirit Church to take the picture of the Church. I was here last week but missed taking the picture. I needed the picture for this blog.

When we arrived at the fish market, we discovered to our horror that the good fish, such as Threadfin (Ikan Senangin) has all been snapped by earlier shoppers. But our family favourites, udang galah and udang siar were still aplenty and very fresh. My wife made sure she had good selections. There were also two tails of Ikan Pelayak, both were big- the smaller one about 4 kg. We bought half, descaled and fully sliced. We bought along our ice container to ensure our catch wwas fresh.

We decided to make our journey home after buying the fish and prawns, but not before checking the hawkers' stalls at the former ferry jetty. There we bought our favourite local delicacies. I also took a few pictures as show here.

After an uneventful journey we reached home at 3.00PM. Sylvia went staight to the kitchen to sort and prepare the fish and prawns for storage and dinner.
