Ayer Hitam

Ayer Hitam which literally means Black Water. It is also known as "the town that never sleeps' because of the number of cars and people passing through on their way north and south. Here one can almost purchase anything made from ceramic ranging from vases and jars, home decorative pieces, flowerpots and ready-made customised souvenirs. This is also a good place to sample some local tidbits. Prawn crackers, tapioca chips, steamed corn and the famous "otak-otak" which is steamed coconut based fish cake, are all up for grabs as is freash, prepacked produce. The many plush toys of many different shapes and sizes are sure to delight children and at their reasonable prices, are a good bargain.
