In 1885, Port Weld, now Kuala Sepetang, was where the first railway began in Malaya. The railway tracks linked Taiping and Port Weld, to transport tin.
This is a little fishing village named Kuala Sepetang, although I still prefer the name Port Weld! We arrived just before noon to hunt for some famous chai kueh I read about. Found it. See the stall below under a red umbrella? That's it. They sell delicious homemade chai kueh. We bought some and walked across to a kopitiam to order coffee and some noodles. Oooh they have good coffee here!

At around 10 AM the next morning, you will get to see fish being salted and dried under the sun.
