龟咯Kukup，正名为龟咯港脚 Kukup Laut，坐落于柔佛州的西南边，是一个纯朴的华人渔村。（其实我觉得它的中文译名相当搞笑，好像香港脚的缩写）
Kukup, its official name is Kukup laut, located at the southwest part of Johor State, is a traditional Chinese fishing village.
如果打算去到
丹绒比艾-亚洲最南端一角;观光，可以顺道来到这个毗邻丹绒比艾的渔村，一尝这里新鲜的海产。
If you plan to visit the southern tip of Asian Continent- Tanjung Piai , you should pay a visit to this adjacent fishing village as well, to have a good seafood meal at least.
这篇文章主要介绍一家当地人称好的一家餐馆，名叫亚强美食中心。
This article mainly to introduce a seafood restaurant which even much welcomed by the local, its name is Ah Kneong Restaurant (as shown in picture below)
该家饭店相当简陋，而且身处“内陆”，没有渔村美景可看，所以不多外地人会登门光顾（呵呵，就不知道这篇文章有没有这样的影响力）
The restaurant is pretty simple and located "inland ". There is not much nice fishing village scene around, which also part of reasons rarely outsiders would patronage (Hehe, not quite sure if this article is that influential ? )
虽然平心而言，在龟咯大街上的餐馆其实而不会太贵，不太会因你是外地人而乱砍，但是他们的海鲜就则为一般，更在于欣赏海景罢。
To be fair, those seafood restaurants which located along the Kukup main road, weren't charging a too high price onto outsider, yet their food quality is not as tasty but more for a good seaview only.
从他们的招牌上，就知道他们的招牌菜是中江米粉，所谓中江其实是一种鱼，音译自Tongkang，一种中文我不知道该怎么称呼的鱼类。这种鱼类，根据当地人的说法，只能在龟咯、笨珍乃至Batu Pahat才可以吃到。因为当地渔夫很难捕到这些中江鱼，捕到的话，都留着自食、或仅供给相熟的熟食小贩如亚强美食中心。
From their banner, you will have an idea that their signature meal is the TongKang Meehun. According to the local , this TongKang fish rarely be seen elsewhere except the Kukup, Pontian up to Batu Pahat waters. Thus if a fisherman able to catch on this TongKang, likely they will keep it for their own consumption or only supply it to the familiar restaurant like Ah Kneong Restaurant.
中江鱼身为黄色，这我也是从他们的招牌才获知的。
而这中江米粉，卖相其实不太好，看起来就像是普通的经济米粉。不过没有吃过是不知道它的好料的。（价马币27，以下所列价格为当地熟客价，外人如你我，自己去的话，可能有出入）
TongKang Meehun as photo below, to be frank, its appearance doesn't really that appealing yet you will never know how tasty it is until you try it ! (Priced RM27, the price stated is the local price, they could have charged you higher)
看起来极普通的鱼饼，你觉得会立即爱上它的，可能它制造时间离烹饪时间不久，所以鲜味十足、鱼味尤存，是我们一般在大城市里，吃不到的那种鲜！（马币13元大、9元小）
The fish cake also looks very very normal as what we usually seen in market, but I bet you will immediately fall for it the second you bite it ! The reason is because it's very fresh from making. So the juiciness of the fish cake you won't be able to find in big cities (RM13 for big plate, and RM9 for small)
五香也不错，不过我在外地也曾经尝试过类似的味道，所以觉得大家可能不必列为必吃。（马币10元）
Goh Heong also not bad, but I did find the similar taste else where, so you do not need to label it as "Must eat" (RM10)
反而他们的炸鸡翅膀，一级棒！不是随便的丢入油锅里煎炸，而是加入了虾酱。我也不知道是不是虾酱使得炸鸡翅膀特别香脆可口，10分钟还不断冒烟出来。 （呵呵，由于这是我第二次到亚强美食中心吃炸鸡翅膀，一早就知道他们的炸鸡翅膀好料，所以没空腾出一只手来拍摄，要知道详情，就自己去试试吧！）（马币12元）
And the best food is their fried chicken wing, Ichiban! It's not those type of anyhow fried, but added with the prawn paste. (this was my second time visiting Ah Kneong, so I knew that chicken wing is just too tasty so forgot to take its photo, if you are curious, just try it yourself then !) (RM12)
吃了那么多的煎炸食品，一定要来杯这里的凉茶吧！降热气。
After eating so much heaty stuff, it's a must for a Liang Teh or herbal tea!
当然不可以忘了龟咯出名的菜燕糕，取材其实跟我们红龟糕一样，只不过龟咯出产的是以菜燕为皮，吃起来比较冷、爽。
And before your departure, don't forget the Kukup Jelly, only one word able to describe the feeling - "Syok!"
如何前往？ How to go?
地址/Address：No 84, Kukup Laut 82300 Pontian , Johor
电话/Phone：607-6960930
亚强美食中心身处龟咯港脚的心脏地带，所以对第一次到来的游客来说，相当难找。从龟咯港脚的政府码头处，往左边的小路走，不断直走，会看到三两间卖燕菜糕的住家在左边，再直走，去到一个有人在那儿卖沙嗲的路口，右转就可以看到亚强美食中心的招牌了。
Ah Kneong Restaurant located at inland, thus it's pretty hard to find its location for first timer. From the Kukup Laut Ferry Terminal, take the small alley at the left hand side, walk straight and you will see 2 or 3 homemade jelly seller on your left, keep moving straight until you see a small little satay stall, turn right then you will find Ah Kneong Seafood Restaurant already.
