RM6 A Day

The boats of the ikan bilis factories next to Bukit Malut brings in the catch. Ikan bilis are sorted by size and graded. Mostly the womenfolk of Bukit Malut are offered the job of peeling the ikan bilis (taking off the head and insides).

Next time anyone of you comes to Langkawi and buy ikan bilis - think of the people who prepared them for you.
