A Day Trip to Bagan Lalang, Tg Sepat & Morib

Since we were back in Seremban for the long weekend, Gung-gung suggested a one-day road trip to some of the popular coastal towns of Selangor. We started our journey after breakfast on Saturday. The six of us, Gung-gung, Ah Ma, Kau-foo (who was the driver of the whole trip), daddy, mummy and I travelled comfortably in Gung-gung's MPV.

Our first stop was the Golden Palm Tree Sea Villas in Bagan Lalang. Mummy was very eager to check out this hotel with the intention of staying there one fine day. However, we were denied entry at the guardhouse and were told that their visiting hour was over (visiting hour was only from Mon-Fri).

Quite exclusive but very cocky (for not allowing us in... hmmph!)

It was low-tide when we reached the Bagan Lalang beach.

My first impression of the beach was... YUCKS! Why is the beach so black and dirty???

It was very, very windy... lots of people flying kites there

Some stalls selling very colourful "windmills" and toys

Next stop was to Tanjung Sepat for lunch. Mummy remembered reading about smallkucing's blog about the Lover Bridge restaurant so when we saw this sign, we quickly turned in, parked the car, walked in, sat down and ordered our food.

Later, after ordering our food, we walked around to look for the "Lover's Bridge". We couldn't find it. Daddy loaded smallkucing's blog on his phone to double check and it was then we realized that we were in the wrong restaurant haha!

No "Lover Bridge" but got "Lover Chair" haha!

Luckily we did not order much. The food here was very average and the portion was disappointingly small.

We had rice with steamed fish, or-chien, mini wok taufu and stir-fried kai-lan

Chatting, joking and playing with my best friend

After makan, we drove to the next lorong (lane) and found the real Lovers Bridge! Here it is...

We also shopped a bit in the Lovers Bridge shop that sold a multitude of tidbits and dried sea harvest...

Can I have this, Kau-foo? Kau-foo never says no, and bought me a small toy.

Next stop was to search for the famous Tanjung Sepat bao. A rather funny incident happened here. Unaware that we were actually already a few doorsteps away from the bao shop, Ah Ma and mummy got down from the car to ask for directions. They approached an elderly uncle on a motorbike and asked politely but got a rude shock when the uncle shouted at them, almost like scolding them (in Mandarin) "This bao shop is no more in business! Nobody wants to eat their bao anymore. They use dead pigs... you know, pigs infected with swine flu? You want to eat ar? You want to die ar? Don't eat! Don't buy! Of course, both the ladies quickly fled and returned to the car haha.

We found the bao shop easily but dared not buy any baos with pork fillings just in case the nasty uncle's scandalous remark was true. Anyway, the famous mui-choy bao was sold out. We were not willing to wait for the new batch so we just bought whatever that was available...

Only the kaya and peanut baos were left

We then proceeded to our next destination - Morib. This was our favourite place among all the places visited today. There was no beach but a very nicely done up waterfront. The weather was perfect too. It was cloudy and windy. Even at 4pm, we did not feel the heat of the sun at all.

Strolling along the beautiful waterfront

My new kung-fu pose

Some giant seashells at the Gastrapods

As usual, I was attracted to the playground and spent some time there. The equipments were all brand new!

I was quite good at "wall-climbing"

Wah... very nice!

Enjoying the sea breeze and seaview (although it was murky grey)

Wind-surfing on an imaginary surf board

Next, we headed to Banting for tea. It was a very late tea break, at almost 6pm. I was so exhausted, I fell asleep on the chair!

I could hardly keep my eyes open while eating!

Finally, it was time to go home. Needless to say, I slept in the car all the way home. It was a very fun, enjoyable and tiring day for all of us.

Steamed bao and fruits for dinner at home
