🌿 Who knew paradise was this close? A hidden bamboo retreat near Sepang, surrounded by limestone hills and a crystal-clear lake 💦 Perfect for a quick escape from the city or a chill pre/post-flight stay. We spent the weekend: ✅ Diving off bamboo platforms ✅ Swinging like Tarzan 🐒 ✅ Floating on rafts under the sun ✅ Chilling in a cozy bamboo hut (no aircon needed—just nature) 🏕️ Stayed lakeside with forest views and peaceful vibes. 🔥 Tip: Hit the swing and drop straight into the lake. You’ll scream, then laugh. Whether you're road-tripping with friends, traveling through KLIA, or just need a break—Tadom Hill near Sepang is totally worth it. 📸 Bring a waterproof phone case. You will get wet. #sepangitinerary

If you're looking for a weekend escape that blends nature, history, and a bit of sweat, Bukit Jugra in Banting, Selangor might just be the hidden gem you're after! I went for a hike at Bukit Jugra and was pleasantly surprised by how beginner-friendly and rewarding it was. The trail starts gently through shaded forest paths, with signs guiding the way. It’s suitable even for casual hikers or those new to hiking. The full hike to the top takes around 30–45 minutes, depending on your pace. Along the way, you’ll spot some friendly macaques and hear birds chirping in the background—nature lovers will enjoy every step! 🥾 What to Expect: A scenic sunrise or sunset view from the peak (go early!) A well-maintained trail with forest shade At the top, a stunning view of the Langat River, small fishing villages, and wide open skies. You’ll also find the Jugra Lighthouse—perfect for photos and a quick history lesson. It used to guide ships along the Straits of Malacca! 🌬️ If you're lucky, you might even catch some paragliders taking off from the peak—it’s a famous paragliding spot! 📍 Tips: Arrive early to avoid the heat and crowd Bring water, mosquito repellent, and a cap Parking is available at the foot of the hill Suitable for solo hikes, groups, or even a fun family outing #thingstodo #travel #staycation #naturalwonders #familytravel

#newyearadventure I stayed here over the weekend with my family. It was a great experience staying in a bamboo hut. Initially I was afraid if the resort is not in a good condition due to the flood situation that impacted them end of last year. But my worries are unfounded as the moment I reach the resort, I can see that the resort had done an excellent job in cleaning up and beautifying the place. The check in progress was okay as there weren’t many people. I guess it’s due to the increased recent Covid cases. The receptionist is friendly and helpful. However, the food can be improve further. The room I stayed is clean and cooling at night (without turning on the air on) but don’t expect it to be hotel like standard. #MyTripVlog #2023TravelWish #tripblazers #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure

One of my biggest regrets? Not taking much photo of the food at Restoran Kanchong Laut… because I was completely locked in—100% focused on devouring some of the freshest seafood I’ve had in a long time. After the first two pictures of our first two orders I was completely drawn into the culinary experience. No distractions. No phone. Just pure “ganjeong”—that slightly anxious excitement where you can’t wait to try the next dish. One bite led to another, and before I knew it… everything was gone. This experience came during a spontaneous one-day trip with my girlfriend around Tanjong Sepat, Sungai Pelek, and the surrounding towns. Joining us was my good friend Nicole, a local who knows the area well. Now, if you’ve been here before, you’ll know—there’s no shortage of seafood restaurants. Some boast stunning seaside views, some compete on price, and yes… some fall into the tourist trap category. But this spot? It came highly recommended by Nicole’s family—a place locals genuinely love. And that already tells you everything. The seafood here is as fresh as it gets. Many of the fish and shellfish are seasonal, caught either the same day or just the day before. You can taste that difference immediately. We chose to sit in their air-conditioned section, which was a lifesaver under the hot, sunny weather outside—comfortable, relaxed, and perfect for a long, indulgent meal. And what a feast it was. We ordered: · Kam Heong style meat crab · Teochew-style Golden Snapper · Wild stir-fried fern vegetables · Two massive plates of local white clams in white wine sauce Every single dish delivered. Flavourful, fresh, and cooked just right. We definitely over-ordered for three people… but somehow still managed to finish everything. No regrets there. After lunch, we took a slow walk along the jetty right next to the restaurant—soaking in the sea breeze, the local lifestyle, and the charm of this coastal town. This wasn’t just a meal—it was an experience. And it’s one I’ll definitely come back for.

tired but satisfy

Wonder sunset at Pantai Morib. Would be better if sky is clear. Food is not bad at this restaurant

📍Address: Gold Coast Morib Resort

Tried lunch at this restaurant for the first time. The staff is friendly and service is good. The atmosphere in the restaurant is interesting and comfortable with Middle Eastern music. We are very satisfied with the service from the staff and the food served. We ordered Lamb Haneeth, Shish Tawook, Hummus Shami, Fried Chicken Drummet and Adani Tea Milk was tempting and delicious. The portions are big and the price is reasonable. Very recommended!! Will repeat again next time!! 📍Address: Hadramout King, Banting
