Half Day Trip - Tanjung Sepat

We went to Tanjung Sepat last 2 weeks. Hubby had appointment with friend for a short meeting. So we planned a day trip there. I’ve visited there once but never have chance to taste their local food as well as sightseeing. I was down with diarrhea at that time, so do nothing but searching high and low for their clinic…. :(

I told husband we must make it a fruitful trip this round. First, must go to the recommended restaurant (by most blogger out there) for lunch then seek his friend's advice for places to go around there. After 1 ½ hour of drive, we reached Tjg Sepat and after meeting up with his friend, we headed to the restaurant that many used to go, Ocen Restaurant. Foods were not bad. I wish to highlight one of their signature dish - fried oyster, which is slightly different from ours in town, not the cooking style but the main ingredient "oyster". Their oysters are small, I think its like baby oysters and you could see they put a lot in the serving. Unlike those selling here, no doubt the oyster is big but the amount of oyster they put just within 5 fingers of counting. Flour + egg become the main ingredient in most of the stall in town ….. :P. Sorry for not showing picture as I was too shy to shoot any in front of them.

After filling up our stomach, we went for a walk to the jetty next to it. It’s half cement and half wooden jetty. The weather on that day was extremely fine, no hot sun but windy. It was just perfect day for any outing.



Later on, we went to mushroom farm which is just 5 minutes drive from Ocen Restaurant (recommended by hubby's friend). This is the place where you could see how the mushroom being planted. As usual, there is a shop in it selling all kind of product made by mushroom.
They also provide homestay to those outstation tourist.

Of course we will not leave the place with empty hand. Bought some oyster mushroom (RM10 for 3 pack) + dried mushroom tidbits.
Then, we moved on to another attraction, Morib.
