A Day Trip to Tanjung Sepat

I always wanted to go Tanjung Sepat …. 

This is because I have been hearing people talked so much about this place and also seeing many blogs reviews. Therefore, this year’s Hari Raya public holidays, I decided to bring my family for a day trip to Tanjung Sepat.

There are two routes to the place, I can go either travel the Klang route via Banting or take the north south highways via KLIA . After my research, I opted for Klang route, simply because I can stop by for a nice breakfast at the famous Klang Ba Kut Teh.

What can we do if without google map ? It is so convenient to know places around. I just type “Klang Ba Kut Teh” … Walahhhh!! … here come the Klang map that pointed out various places selling Ba Kut Teh … Through my local friend Carina’s recommendation … she suggested the famous Teluk Pulai (Claypot) Ba Kut Teh.

The efforts of looking for this place pay off after we tasted the food. Wow!! Mamma Mia … the soup tasted so good. Rich taste of herb and the meats were so tendered soft. Yummy! I really enjoy it. I specially love the dry Bah Ku Teh, it added some dry sotong floss to make the food taste better. It was an excellent breakfast. No wonder this place is so packed. This place has at least 5 to 6 Ba Kut The stores but the one that I eat, is fully packed with people, many people standing beside the table waiting….

This place is highly recommended.

After a heavy breakfast, we continue our journey to Tanjong Sepat . One the way, we stopped by Morib beach. In my memory, this place is very much “deserted” because I don’t find the beach interesting at all. The landscaping is too flat. During low tides, the ocean tides went off so far from the beach. I can’t even see the tide when standing at the beach.

Nevertheless, the place was nicely done up with food stores, convenient shop and wash room facilities. It is a great place for family outings. Many people took opportunity of this holiday season to visit here. You can see many children were running around.

I see many people are flying kites there, even the adults. It is a beautiful scenery that made out with family bonding …. 

We continue our journey to Tanjung Sepat.

Before long, we reached our destination … Well, it wasn't so much that I expected, it was just a small fishing village and gave me the feeling that it looked like Jinjang Chinese Village nearby my house. Majority populations here are Chinese. There are many Chinese Seafood Restaurant around, I guess we Chinese love eating … 

First thing we do is to look for the very famous Pau Shop that everyone blog about it. In fact, it wasn’t difficult to find. However, when we reached there … Oh My Goash !!! The queue was so long and so packed, I admired people enthusiasm for queuing under the hot sun. I tried to spy around at the counter, the queue wasn't moving. Workers were rushing to do the Pau, customers were standing there waiting for the Pau to be steamed, worse till the counter has one big signage stated everyone can only buy 5 pieces of Pau !!

Being an impatience person and decided not to queue. I rather visited nearby shops. I spotted a Coffee Shop, according to the shop owner, they have been selling the coffee for more than 40 over years. So I bought some, hopefully it will taste good. (P.s. i just tasted it, super rich in aroma and taste excellently, best coffee standard.)

I saw a hawker store selling frying ice cream, out of curiosity, I asked the store keeper to show me how he hot fried the ice cream .... In fact is very simple, the ice cream was wrapped with bread, and it only fried in the hot oil for a while until it turned golden brown. The ice cream is still solid inside when first bites.

We drove surround the place, we found Ganofarm, famous of selling Ling Zhi mushroom. Beside doing the mushroom business, the owner turned the place into resort with accommodation and restaurant. They built wooden bridges extended out to the sea … it is quite a cool set up.

Unfortunately, the cleanliness of this place was disappointing, everywhere is so dirty. Many tables were left unclean and things left overnight from yesterday dinner. Plates, beer bottles, cups, waste tissues  and bones were everywhere. It was a terrible scene. I guess could be short of helpers during the festive seasons?

I paid a blind eye for all those and looked for some nice spots for photo shooting … this place is kind of unique for photo shooting, unfortunately, the weather wasn’t good at all. Although it was a sunny day but the sky looked hazy and grey white … emmmm...

Where is my blue sky and white clouds ….!! (I shouted !!)

I'm blaming our neighboring, every years in certain time, the monsoon wind will carry the farm burning smoke from Sumatra to Malaysia … it is so so so hazy and unhealthy. All my photos come with pale white … 

Ah Yah~~

We also visited the Lover’s Bridge …. It is a long bridge and I think it has the length of approx. 0.5KM to 1 KM out from the mainland. Toward the end, fishing boats were parked there. In fact, the Lover’s Bridge is a good place for photo shooting, but due to the heavy crowd, too many people walking in and out at the bridge … makes me difficult to capture some nice photos.

The weather was humid hot, my family cannot stand the heat and we decided to go home early. So, I can’t wait for the sunset … Ah yah! So I leave the place around 5 pm …

Before we hit the road, we drove back to the Pau Shop again hoping lesser crowds.

OH!! OMG!

The queue was even longer than the morning session … I can’t imagine that, wondering how nice is their Pau … I decided to leave without eating their Pau, maybe it tastes better in my imagination then actually eat it! LOLs.

During the way back, we stopped near the Restaurant Asam Batu Laut to shoot some fishermen boat ...

Maybe one day I will re-visit this place again but definitely not on a public holiday……
