Story of Temerloh Patin

流金歲月的點滴

Blogger Mango Tan has mentioned about Temerloh town which
is located at between Mentakab and Chenor...

It suddenly reminds me to a story that I've heard last year.

Last year I was on a busines/ site visit trip to Mentakab and
Temerloh area, and 2 weeks a go I was at Chenor area to attend
a ceremony of a old classmate of mine becoming Bhuddist Monk.

Hence I could assure you that I enjoy the Pahang state very
very much. Kuala Lipis and Jerantut are also some nice place to
visit apart from the Taman Negara area.

Well the story started like this :

A few years ago there were some touris from Singapore who
drove all the way from Singapore to Temerloh, Pahang on a
mission.

Their mission is to enjoy the Ikan Patin ( Silver Catfish ) which
were widely available at Pahang, especially near Temerloh area.

They found a nice restaurant and ordered alot of Ikan Patin,
and they were really enjoy eating those fishes.

When the bill finally came, it was very expensive. You may
ask, could it be one or two thousand ringgit?? Sap Sap Sui !!

The bill came and the Singaporean tourist didn't have enough
of money to pay. Hence they left one of the Rolex watch at
the shop as "hostage" while they went to ATM to get more
cash.

What has happened actually?

Singaporean Tourist who loved Patin a lot.

Perhaps Singapore's Patin not that fresh & good.

Singaporean love Malaysian Patin a lot.

Eat too much Patin.

Cash not enough.

Credit Card not accepted at small places.

Shop owner insist hostage required.

Singaporean Tourist has no choice.

Boh Pian but to leave Rolext watch as hostage at shop.

What have people learnt from this story?

Patin fish is expensive. Very expensive sometimes.

Don't rely 100% on credit card. It's Malaysia for God sake!

Bring more cash if you want to eat exotic food.

Else a Rolex or 2 would do also kekekekekeek !!!

For your information, my boss is a Singaporean and the "friend"
who asked me :" Kai Hong, why Patin fish is special? " is also
a Singaporean.

And my Singaporean "friend" wears Rolex. You connect the dots...
