Fishing Village - 宁静的鱼村

I was plan one of the weekend overnight trip to visit my neighbor home town - Tanjung Sepat a small fish village located at southwest part of Selangor. Nowadays, people came here for fresh seafood and various orchards farms, including Dragon Fruits Longan, mushroom , coffee, keropok ubi and Ganoderma (Chinese Ling Zhi) farm.

Tanjung Sepat is well known locally for its many seafood restaurants,beaches, glorious sunsets, wooden houses and, of course, fresh seafood come to mind! Visitors do not return home with merely stuffed bellies, but would take with them Tanjung Sepat delicacies such as fish balls, fried bean curd, locally grown and roasted coffee beans or powder, Chinese buns (pau), tapioca chips, longan fruit, bottled Lingzhi drinks and fresh mushrooms. Nobody goes hungry in Tanjung Sepat as the writer had discovered.

Tanjung Sepat is primarily a fishing village. Most of the inhabitants have some kind of connection to the fishing industry, although the relative importance of fishing to the economy is dwindling due to pollution in the Straits of Malacca. Many believed this is caused by the fact that the areas surrounding the town are known as the largest pig rearing area in the state. The non-controllable waste flowing to the sea produced not only stench but hardship for the fishing industry participants.

You’ve got to visit this place for yourself. I’ll spent some time at this place coz still did not manage to go through all the exciting places. Places like dragon fruit farm, longan farm, lover’s bridge and seafood restaurants are missing for this trip. Will cover them next time. If you are interested to visit, here is how you can get to Tanjung Sepat. Take the Kesas highway heading to Klang. Exit at the Klang/Banting exit. As you go up the ramp of the exit, turn left at the traffic light to head to Banting and drive heading to Morib Beach. You will pass through Banting, Jenjarom, Morib and then Tanjung Sepat. Once you get there, you will have a great weekend at this village!!!
