Sempalit new village in Raub takes pride in its iconic Indian restaurant and much-loved snack


A shiny giant peanut sculpture greets visitors in front of the Kebun Sea Loy Kacang Goreng Sempalit workshop.

THE new villages dotting the country are a treasure trove of hidden gems. In the case of Kampung Baru Sempalit in Raub, Pahang, we’re talking about curry chicken and peanuts.

Amid the battered shoplots on the main street, one eatery stands out in this village which is 95% Chinese – Restoran Damodaran Nair.
