4. Freshy-made to be purchased by tourists.

5.

6.

Titbits factory

7.

1. It's actually a jetty, one of the two remaining jetties in the village.

2. Low tide and mangrove trees. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my tripod along, so HDR could not be attempted.

3. Weekend anglers at the end of the jetty.

4. A friendly weekend angler.

5. Removing the hook from the fish.

6.

7. A local heading towards the end of the jetty.

Local steamed buns (paus)

1. The facade of Hai Yew Hin. Some tourists have just arrived.

2. Inside the simple wooden shop.

3. In the kitchen. All steamed buns are still laboriously hand-made.

4. The various ingredients/fillings that can be found within the buns.

5. The steamed buns are served with a locally brewed coffee. More on this later.

6. The buns are slightly yellowish in colour because no chemicals (bleaching agents) are used, unlike the usual factory-produced buns. No preservatives added too!

7.

8. Mouy-choy, very unique.

9. A kaya steamed bun.

10. The owner showing us rows of ovens used to steam the buns.

11. An old lady offering me some fresh ampulla fruit. She also has a small stall beside her bicycle, preparing ampulla juice drink with preserved plum added.

Joo Fa Trading (local coffee)

12. The famous locally Hainanese roasted coffee, located just behind the steamed bun shop mentioned above. We were warmly greeted with a warm cup of freshly brewed kopi-o as we entered the premise.

13. A nearer look at the simple signage.

14. Workers busy sorting out the coffee beans before roasting.

15. Coffee price of the day.

Claypot tofu at O-cen Restaurant

16. A restaurant beside the Lover’s Bridge (mentioned above), one of the two surviving jetties in the village.

17. The most famous dish served by this restaurant: claypot tofu. It’s served with some vinegar, and tasted like shark fin soup sans the shark fins.

18.

19.

[kiankheong]

1. This was where we had our dinner.

2.

3. Sea view from the restaurant.

4. Hot plate oyster (O-cean). The eggs are turned to cook only when served.

5.

6. Some greens to make the dinner a balanced one.

7. Buttered prawns.

8. Yin-Yang fish, split into two parts: steamed and stir-fried.

Thanks. It was also more like a jalan-jalan cari makan trip.

Here is picture #5 again. Probably due to problems with imageshack.

Haha, midnight torture!

The hot-plate oyster was slightly different from the usual o-cean. The batter was softer, and they used a different and smaller version of clams/oyster.

Too bad, we missed out the seafood bah kut teh. It was sold out by afternoon. Next time must go there earlier.
