We came to Kampung Piasau Utara or Northern Coconut Village because there were nice boats, unique-looking kampung houses, and a lovely river to photograph. “As fishermen, we frequently spend long hours at sea. We need to have faith in our ability and judgment to fish and return home safely,” Hassan said.
The bigger boats are also berthed at the jetty for easy loading of ice onto the waiting boats and delivery of fish from the hulls.Losing their bearings at sea during a storm is one of the fishermen’s greatest fears. But “so far so good” seems to the morale-boosting catchphrase of the fishing community in Piasau Utara. The fishermen’s market draws customers of all races. It is well maintained with properly tiled and clean stalls.
“This is a good market — small but very clean. The fishmongers are friendly and we can even communicate by WhatsApp. “We need lime, chillies, and shallots. Of course, we bring our precious sago from Sungai Telian, Dalat.”Cafes and Korean cuisine Everything is three for RM1 and one can pick and mix. The operator even serves vegetable fritters. And when prawns are available, she will cook prawn fritters.We were pleasantly surprised by a hawker doing two types of ketupat shells — ketupat hidup and ketupat lepas.
