@itee’s place

I joined a group of fren to Kuala Selangor. D very main objective is watch d fireflies (kelip-kelip). The legendary, natural christmas tree. We started was so perfectly but so jamm, maybe b’cos Off workin hr n national day eve. N we miss d kg kuantan kelip park. So, found a road to kg belimbing park. Lots of bananas, coconuts, n oil palms alogn d road. Then d road get smaller, no lights, no other transport. Only 2 cars driving in the night dark path. Luckily, found local ppl… they told us we missed d corner.. so we u-turn , u-turn, left n right n finally reach d belimbing park. In fact, Belimbing is owned by Private. The entrance is 10rm wif life jacket. This park and Kg Kuantan is just a distance.

Ermm…before d boat started, fireflies can see everywhere. But d boat will take u aroun to d tree that have many..i mean many fireflies.. so, is jus like a natural Christmas tree. However, Not like wat I imagine before.. not every tree havs fireflies. Only Berembang tree which growth in

mangrove

Forest

along d

Selangor

River

. We did catch d fly.. d boat was shaken.. n would very excited when u catched it.. u will SCREAM. I did.. N in d park, we met a very nice uncle fr Jeram. He brought his daughter n frens. At tat very moment, we stil havent take our dinner. So, he brought us to pasir pelambung. (I not so remember its name). The place is grear, cos can view the “old town’ of Kuala Selangor n d light house in Bkt Melawati. We ordered 8 dishes.. sound like seafood feast. Cos of d uncle, we got d special discount. That something k cheers for d night.

D next thing we started concerning after d dinner + supper is d accommodation. After spending an hr to search d room in d midle of d night. most of  us, stil prefer something budget n suitable. Guess wat??? We phoned to HKS (hotel Kuala selangor).. (10X for d website given by Boon Han).. n they stil hv empty rooms, so we check in..of course, stil deal wif the person in duty..bargain, bargain…… then we got 2 rooms for 90rm. Then, everyone satisfy. Everthing settle aroun 3am. But d place is only suitable for sleep. If wanna try to do something more relax, more facilities, more services, more clean n secure, then sure is de palm inn.

D next day, we had our breakfast at “Auntie Kopitiam”. It is started since 1935, and now is owned by Auntie Foo. The first Boss is her father- in –law. This coffee shop is situated opposite HKS. They sell local breakfast (nasi lemak bungkus, kuih-muih), chinese food (toast bread, but NOT using charcoal) n american breakfast..oso hav laksa n nasi ayam.. Variety ya. Can have a try there, many local ppl will have their breakfast there. The auntie will make d coffee by herself, n she is so enthusiastic to recommend d tourist spot to us.

IS a sunny morning. We crossed the road, n took d train to d Bkt Melawati (can take 2rm train, save lots of time; however k take a stroll too), d day we went, only had one spot is available, that is the “fort”. Ops… I should not forgot the grey and black monkeys. Tourists allow to feed, but at

ur

own risk.

We did by pass Tmn Alam (Natural

park

), Bkt Belanda tat area, lake, Makam Anak Dara. Then went d fishing area (somewhere near De palm inn). We din go fishing, (for so sure…) we went to d temple beside.. sound funny.. n met another uncle. Quite interesting, he told us bot d feng sui of sg selangor tat adi been destroy  by d foreigner went they invaded M’sia. So, now kuala selangor k not modern. According to d uncle, the fengsui of tis place is a tortise, but there is a lighthouse build on d head of tortise. Therefore, there is no development is d area. N we stil wonder d story, but look, we get X-tra info bot tis place. And actually, Kuala Selangor is a famous POrt before Klang. Due to d accumulation of mud aroun the port, ferrries are not allowed to stop there, so, Klang will take over the kuala selangor important duty.. Then d uncle ReCommendeD us to two temples. One is d over 100 yrs temple, it is very old temple n local ppl and other state businessman will come here to pray for blessing. Another one is “seven sword temple” ( I translated directly— qi jian ..miao— soft of.. stil renovate) but I think it will become another tourist spot in the future.

We went to Pasir Pelambung and ate seafood porridge (at hai pin restaurant), is very nice. Special.. n cheap.. o economy price. at least, is d price we expected. We order crab noodle, 4 heaven king ( lala, lala but in long shape, “ham” and scallops)….

N something, k not forget, shape for local products. Quite funny, most of d products are from Perak.. Think only fresh seafood is local.. n of course d salted fish. They do sell all kind of dried sea food.. Remember it is a fishing village.. They do sell crystal layer cake, I din try cos have to make order before that.

The whole trip is Nice n Fun… but seem only remember we kept U-turn-ing… kept LOST.. kept searching for the new place.

Most of people here are so nice n friendly.. ‘cin cai’ asking around they will so generous yo! So don’t worry to get lost, have to dare to ask for. Never thought they will such good. But d auntie said, once she here d very first day (35 yrs ago) , she love it.. cos d place is so great. Well, I need time to feel it!

Here, I need to thanks Margaret, u made this trip so successful! N shall not forget XiaoJun, XiaoHuang, FuiLing, ChingHong, Chai fong, SouJian, MingLee n her very funny boyfriend.

A special thx to Boon Han, wonderful detail information provided.

Kuala Selangor, keep kelip-kelip al the time ya!~
