Hasil Laut Kiah Kee — Local services in Pahang

Google turned up this store when I wasn't sure where to buy salted fish on my way back to KL. I bought some "Mui Heong" salted fish, dried oysters, and dried squid there because it's not too far off my route. I honestly have no idea how much these cost, so I cannot say whether they are less expensive than KL, but my mother did comment that they look good.

Bonus surprise: they also sell traditional Chinese green bean biscuits (biskut Tou Sa)—and they were surprisingly delicious! A great local stop for foodies and...

Like what others mentioned in the review, the shop owner is very friendly and helpful. I dropped by here to get some random seafood products which obviously I know nothing about quality and pricing but the owner shared what to look for and he gave quite decent discounts as well. When I gave to my mom, she's pleasantly surprised with the quality and the value too! I bought dried scallops and fish maws for maybe 1/2 the price you can get in KL in comparison of both the quality and quantity. Would highly recommend anyone who come to Kuantan to check...
