My Journey, Best Place to go Part1 ! (:

Have you guys ever been to Tanjung Sepat? It is a small town situated in Selangor, Malaysia. Tanjung Sepat is primarily a fishing village and is well known for its many famous seafood restaurants.

Tanjung Sepat is a really nice place for us to just relax and enjoy the scenery. I embarked on my little adventure on a glorious Saturday morning with 6 of my high school friends, Su Ann, Xiau Sheng, Chia Loon, Ho Meng, Chee Hou and not forgetting our driver for the trip - Yi Shuen!

Our first destination was the Steam Chinese Bun's Outlet, they are famous because of their salted vegetables bun and pork meat bun. At the Hai Yew Heng outlet in Tanjung Sepat, buns are so popular that a limit is imposed on customers so that every buyer gets to take some home. This steam chinese bun is Hainanese styled bun, which are large and flat and the fillings are still handmade.



After indulging ourselves with buns, we set off to one of Tanjung Sepat's famous coffee bean roasting factory. Did you know, it is said that Tanjung Sepat make the most tantalising aroma of roasted coffee beans? Joo Fa Trading is a family business owned by Mr Lim Seng Peng, who has been running the business for more than 50 years. This coffee maker roasts and sells coffee powder made from locally farmed coffee beans in the area, and specializes in black, diamond and the highly prized civet coffee bean, which made from civet cats have literally excreted.

Next, Gano Farm. Have you ever heard of lingzhi? Lingzhi mushroom can be also called as reishi mushroom. It encompasses several fungal species of the genus Ganoderma and it has been used as a medicinal mushroom in traditional Chinese medicine. Compared to other kinds of mushrooms for consumption, lingzhi mushroom is much more expensive for its several medical properties that include preventing and treatment of cancer, hypertension, migraine and headache.





Last but not least, we went to one of the major tourists attractions of Tanjung Sepat - Lover's Bridge. As the name of the bridge implies, it is truly a romantic place to be with your lover. This bridge is actually made of cement in the first quarter, and it continues with old wooden platform further down. It reaches out to the sea and serves as a jetty for this fishery village. Sitting by the jetty, you'd be able to witness a splendid sunset as the water level around it is not too deep and there are few tree trunks to obscure the magnificent view. Lover Bridge is not only popular among couples to hang out, but also families and senior citizens too.

In the evening, we were all sitting by the beach enjoying each other’s company. The chilly evening breeze gently caressed my cheeks. The sun was beginning to set, I squinted into the distance and all I could see was the orange-red sun shining its last glimmer at us, slowly disappearing from view, everything seemed so perfect, simply breathtaking.




By evening, there's no more beaches to walk and the scenery was still breathtaking.





- THE END -
