Pekan Sehari Temerloh Pahang dan Kopi Wong

This weekly bazaar happened to be on Sunday held at Lurah Semantan from as early as 7.00 am until 1.00 pm. People from local villages come to sell their products such as all kinds of vegetables, fruits, traditional delicious foods, freshwater fish from the river, ulam (vegetable taken raw) as well as clothes.

They are selling their products on both sides of the road along the mosque, waterfront until the mini stadium. REBONG (Young Bamboo Shoot) is a favorite delicacy, cook with freshwater fish and coconut milk. Not to be missed is IKAN PATIN MASAK TEMPOYAK (catfish cook with Durian paste) as this is what Temerloh famous for. If you are looking for freshwater fishes, then this is the right place.

Here you can easily buy ikan Patin, Temoleh/Temelian, Baung, Haruan, Tapah, Kaloi, Tengalan, Belida, Kerai, Lampam, Jelawat and ikan mungkus (only in season) usually after the flood resume. Although you will find the price is a little bit deer due to the high demand, but it is always negotiable.

Whenever you are in Temerloh, don’t forget to eat Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak and Chicken Rice at Temerloh Old Town perhaps it’s one of the best in the country. You can also take away for other member of your family. For those who would like to take some raw Ikan Patin back home, just go to Bangau Tanjung village, buy them from the owner directly.
