There are many difference kind and quality of the ikan bilis. As you know ikan bilis is a part of nasi lemak meal.

    Hmmm... these remind me of our visit there a few years back. The beach is soo... beautiful. And where we were staying, they have a swing hung up to the tree branch (the ketapang if I'm not mistaken). Oh... so... relaxing! These photos are quite recent I take it?

    DrSam,

    Kalau lama tak pergi mungkin dah banyak berubah. Dua tahun lalu pun sebaris rumah kedai berdekatan jeti pekan pangkor terbakar...tentu sekarang dah terbina banyak bangunan baru.
