The Raya holidays are coming to an end. And even though my family did not ‘balik kampung’, we visited a kampung in Tanjung Sepat last Tuesday with a bunch of close friends. Until that day, I had never even heard of Tanjung Sepat, let alone know where it was!
It was a day trip to the small fishing village famed for its fresh seafood, bak kut teh, queue-for-hours char siew pau and let’s not forget the main tourist attraction, the Lovers’ Bridge. We indulged ourselves in too-cheap-to-be-true, mouth watering, high cholesterol salted egg crabs, butter prawns, deep fried squids and bamboo lala at the Baywatch Seafood Restaurant and took a stroll down the Lovers’ Bridge, enjoying the sea breeze and praying that the wooden planks wouldn’t collapse under the weight of all the tourists there!
We drove through the narrow lanes of the village in search of the infamous char siew pau shop, and found a kilometre-long queue leading up to it. Needless to say, we gave it a pass.
En route, we also checked out the Golden Palm Tree Sepang Gold Coast Hotel and the Gold Coast Morib Resort. The photographs posted here are of the former hotel. In my view, the latter is a major letdown. Its only saving grace is the water theme park which was overcrowded with tourists that day.
All in all, it was a fantastic excursion made complete with the company of wonderful friends and gorgeous weather.
