Lunch Foods and Lembah Bujang

It was superb hungry once we back from Maju Ikan. We was having our lunch that was prepared by my mum. The meal made of fresh cuttle fish, vegetables and steamed Grouper. Hehe. Mum cooked meal is always simply best!!!

After re-charging, we were going to explore the Lembah Bujang or Bujang Valley. It is located near to Tanjung Dawai and Merbok, where it rich with archaeology site and paddy around that area, probably Malaysia (according to Wikipedia). These archaeologies are mostly related to Hindu-Buddhist religion due to early kingdom influence.
We were going to one of the archaeology site, named as Site 23 Pengkalan Bujang. However, the site is not properly maintained. Inside there are 3 historical monuments with one having information board about the Lembah Bujang.

Bujang valley is the most known archaeologi site for Peninsula Tanah Melayu proto-history researchers. This is because the government that exists in the Bujang Valley in the 5th century and 14th century AD have made its heritage. Until now, over 80 heritage sites by the kingdom was found in the Bujang Valley. The discovered heritage was found accumulated in a vast and strategic region. Area that popular with the archaeological sites can be defined as a complexes in Sungai Mas, Bukit Batu Pahat, Merbok, Bukit Pendiat, Bukit Choras and Percandian Pengkalan Bujang. (translated from Information Boards)
Evidences from The Arabian Voyage of the 8th century to 9 century AD recognized Lembah Bujang (bujang Valley) as Kalah. Among the trading is tin. Kalah lodated as a government that is high in culture and prosperous, which was wintering by the merchants. It was further strengthened by the writings of Abu Dulat Misa'r said that Kalah is a huge government surrounded by walls, gardens, water facilities, markets, and also with a large population.

(translated from Information Boards) I have no idea what's the stone functions and history, as there was no tour. However, it is lucky that there are some neglected, but useful "information boards". The archaeology site opens for everyone. If you are interested, you may take a visits there and explore.

On the way back to home, we were passed by many paddy fields. No doubt that we were excited with it.

We were going for Lu Meh hunting in the evening. Know what is "Lu Meh"? Haha!
