I have always wanted to travel to a fishing village. Sekinchan never came to my mind until I started to brainstorm for a place to go,exactly 2 days before 16th September (Malaysia Day). Thanks to various information that I am able to gather online, it looks like Sekinchan is definitely the place I am bringing my family to on the holiday!
It will take around 2 hours drive from our house to our destination. We could have arrive earlier as the traffic was smooth but unfortunately there's a traffic jam at Kuala Selangor's Tesco Hypermarket's junction. We could have avoided it if we followed WAZE's advice (We learned our mistake).
Anyway, once arrived at Sekinchan, we are so amazed by the paddy fields along the highway. We took no pictures as I am driving (hahaha). Due to it's already near 2pm, we quickly drive towards the restaurant area to look for food. We picked Restaurant Loong Hua 隆华海鲜酒楼 because the restaurant was extended away from the main street and on the sea.
Fishing boats can be seen from the restaurant
Stir fry vegetable 腐乳炒蕃薯苗
Steam Prawns with egg 蛋白蒸虾
Steam grouper fish 清蒸石班
The above dishes + drinks + rice costs us RM 76, personally I think it's cheap as in KL, I hardly eat seafoods that are so so so fresh. Especially the mantis prawn, in KL, most of the time you are eating flour instead of prawn in a dish like above. However, the dishes in Loong Hua is salty, but I don't mind to come again in future.
After our meal, guess what, damn..it's already 4PM. We spent 15 minutes on the street shopping for some seafood but ended up buying just satey fish. Then we quickly headed to the paddy fields. Frankly, once I stepped out from the car, I felt that I am being so REFRESHED! Never had I been so near to the paddy fields.It's green everywhere and we felt very happy and nice to be there !
We hang out an hour there walking around and taking pictures while my kids enjoyed throwing stones into the drain and finally left for home. I made another mistake when I decided to not follow WAZE and ended up driving extra distance on LATAR. We reached home around 9PM but me and my wife were so delightful to have make this day trip at Sekinchan happened. We will definitely visit Sekinchan again ~!
