Where Exactly is Restaurant Hai Tien Ti in Sitiawan?

My brain keeps thinking that it's the weekend tomorrow. My "personal" calendar needs to be re-calibrated everytime there's a weekday public holiday (especially during mid week!). Just when I think that the weekend is here, my weekend joy gets interrupted...."Maaf, rancangan tergendala"! Ahhhh! But thank goodness it's Friday and the weekend is indeed around the corner. Yay!

Now, it's back to Sitiawan. The thing about eating in Sitiawan is that we just rely on the great hospitality of our friends to bring us around (thank you so much). The places we went to had no name cards, no addresses and look similar ...our Sitiawan friends don't know the addresses too. That's pretty much how things are in Sitiawan and I guess that's the simple charm of Sitiawan :o). Came dinner time in Sitiawan, we found ourselves at Restaurant Hai Tien Ti in Kampung Cina (and that's all we know)....

We left all the ordering to the hosts and soon we had these on our table ...
Toddy
Toddy! Hic .... hehehe....It grows on you ;o) Toddy by the jug, how sweet ...

Hai Tien Ti
Spacious dining area ...where we await our food

Crab Noodles
Crab glass noodles ....The crabs had firm and fresh meat. While the noodles had wok hei, it had a subtle flavour, more of the fact that is was a tad lacking in flavour but it could be due to the generous amount of bean sprouts and cabbages that affected our palate. "Less" is "more" ....

Deep Fried Sotong (Calamari)
Standard deep fried sotong ...

Ferocious Fish!
Another scary fish that I didn't touch! Seriously, this adds yet another pic of a "ferocious" cooked fish to my photo archives!

Stirred Fried Prawns
These prawns were delicious. The sort where I can eat up the entire prawn - head, body...shell and all! Once again, fresh and succulent! There were some other dishes like clams and kung po mantis prawn...they were lovely too and the flavours were good. Seafood is fresh here in Sitiawan!

Hai Tien Ti
So tell me, where exactly IS Restaurant Hai Tien Ti in Sitiawan??? :o) Where is the sea, sky and earth? That's what Hai Tien Ti means in English :o)

The eating continues ...
