Banting day trip

Two weeks or so ago, my parents came down to KL to celebrate my dad's birthday... my sis pre-book the begger's chicken at Banting... you have to pre-order 3 or 4 days before you go because they need time to prepare the food and cook it... we went on Friday that day since it's a holiday...


This is the place where they cook the food... it's very hot inside... like a big oven...

The famous begger's chicken... very tender and soft... but the chicken is kinda small...

This is the pig's hand or leg, whatever... best! not fat at all since it's so tender it melts in your mouth...

This fish is very special... they took out the fish skin, take the meat, throw the bones, keep the head and tail... then they make fish paste with the meat with added ingredients... make it like the fish shape, wrap it with the fish skin, join it with the head and tail and then fry it... awesomeness...

This is call the Long Life Soup... kononnya after minum can long life... think they boiled it for hours cause the soup is so sweet... and also the smell of herbs...

After that, we werent plan to go sight seeing but they aunty in the shop saw since we are here, why not go jalan jalan... go to the Dong Zen temple but at night only is beautiful... then she say why not go to the sea since it's very near from there and also try out the famous pau... so we decided to go to the sea... it's call Pantai Morib...

It's someting like Klebang or Tanjung... water are as brown like usual... but the wind are great...

After that we went to find the pau at Tanjung Sepat but we are lost... instead, we stop by a shop to buy some local treats... it turn out to be a famous area... the lover's bridge... our luck not bad huh... the bridge is actually an old jetty... only my bro and me went to the end... cause the others scared of the heat...


Later, we went to find the pau again from the direction the shopkeeper gave... it's actually quite deep in the shop area... we expect it to be a big air-cond lot... but it turn out to be a small one... like a normal shop lot... but a lot of people are buying the paus... we also bought some... kinda expensive but it's nice... got the 'mui choi' one... dunno call what... no photos with me... hehe...

Then we sit at a coffee shop to drink and enjoy our paus... we then met a very friendly uncle... his wife talk about the mushroom planting place around here... so my dad ask him how to go... then he insisted to lead the way by his motorcycle... it's actually quite near... we are lucky that day...

This is how they plant the fungus... 'ling zhi' also got... it's actually a tourist spot selling some stuff... the place is call Ganoderma Farm...

At the farm, there is also a jetty... but with a hut in the middle... so I cant resist to not take photos... and also my bro and me that go... actually I force him... cause camera with him... hehehe...


After all that, it's around 6pm or so dy... so we head for the Dong Zen Temple at Jenjarom... we reach there, there is a lot of people... the temple surrounding is decorated with statues and figurines... it's still CNY at that time... people say the temple only do this twice a year; during CNY and Mooncake festival...



The place is huge... after taking a few photos the camera runs dry on battery... so we just walk around enjoying the scene... around 7pm or so... the whole place lit up... it's like being in wonderland... all the statues and figures are lit up...after that, around 8pm it started to drizzle... so we decided to go back... and it starts pouring...
