MOK NAA - A KUANTAN DELIGHT

If you a food freak, this a place to go! MOK NAA...just outside Kuantan, over the bridge to Tanjung Lumpur. Need to make a U-turn back to Kuantan.
the crowd

A small gerai but you will know it because there's rows of cars parked by the side and the crowd!. I have bumped into friends from KL and even Johor in this stall. You will meet all kinds of people here: Malays, Chinese, Indians, Rich, Poor, etc.....It has been here for a while. I have known  the owner for a long time, more than 20 years! So, I guess I can call my self an expert of Mok Naa's dishes.

MOK NAA herself
Sadly, the shop cannot grow as the space is limited. There's always a long queue. Once you get to a table, you may need to clean the table yourself. Limited staff! Workers are also difficult to get! NO FOREIGN WORKERS yet!!!


What to look for? The menu getting longer by the day! You have keropok losong, ikan goreng (fresh fish), udang goreng, tembosa, akok, otak otak( different from the Johor version) and lists goes on. To me, its an istituition by itself. You can learn how they roll up the keropok, how they cook, and how to eat them! Very interesting.
Great afternoon snack. You'll do things here which you will not do at your dining table!!!!

But as for cleaniness, please don't visit if you are a hygine buff!. And as for weight watchers or even health conscious guys , this is not the place to pay homage!

Someone ask me to rate the places I've eaten so here goes!

FOOD : 8/10 (hot from the kuali)
SERVICE : 5/10 (not enough workere!
NO FOREIGN WORKERS HERE!!! thats 10/10)
CLEANLINESS : C
