Kedai Makanan OK

This article is part of my 2018 Taiping and Kuala Sepetang trip series.

Kedai Makanan OK (OK茶餐室) is a typical kopitiam in Taiping. It is near the Taiping Railway Station (Stesen Keretapi Taiping) and Antong Coffee Mill. Most customers here are locals.

One of the stalls here is called "Sakai". Sakai is a derogatory name given to the people of Orang Asli, who are now better known as "Semang". The stall sells Seafood Porridge (海鲜粥) and Seafood Noodle (海鲜粉). In both cases, the broth is prepared from shrimps and jicama (沙葛).

The Seafood Porridge (RM10.00) is appetizing and quite gentle on my palate. It contains fresh seafood ingredients like grouper (石斑鱼), blue threadfin (马友鱼), fish balls and large shrimps. Also included are pickled vegetables (冬菜), ginger slivers (姜丝), fried shallots and chopped scallions.
