Bukit Lagong - Orang Asli Settlement @ Selayang

This is one of our Wednesday leisure rides in the evening and this one was at the vicinity of Selayang. We started at FRIM, Kepong. This posting is specifically for this place called Bukit Lagong.

I bet many of you have not come across this place and yet it is within the short distances of Klang Valley, what a great hideout.

Basically it is a Orang Asli Settlement where we can actually enjoy the beauty of surrounding nature and see them in this modern world that is close to the city of Kuala Lumpur.

 The water rapid of Bukit Lagong seems to be a picnic site.

A beautifully scene of a wet vegetation cultivated by the Orang Asli.

This place was a let down training camp site, it's already run down and closed that could have been properly managed by others. What a waste!

The weather was great after a rain fall, cloudy and cooling with a setting that is relaxing and away from the mad city.

The smell of the green and moist atmosphere was great and refreshing.

How nice if I have a home here.

It was good to come back here which I have nearly forgotten about this place.

We continue our leisure cycling into Bandar Baru Selayang and had a simple dinner as the sky has turned gloomy and dull. After a good rest and makan we pedalled back to FRIM to get our cars back home. Another good ride on a Wednesday evening.

The Route.

Selayang Live and Fresh Seafood

First you purchase your seafood from this shop, " Jin Chawn" de supplier of fresh seafood and they will bring it to the restaurant of your choice nearby.

There are many that you can select at the shop.

Take notice of the signboard on the right where it shows the two restaurants that can cook your meal.

We picked this eating shop Beihai Restaurant, a pleasant and nice place to dine.

And a nice whiskie to go with the fabulous seafood.

A simple poached prawns was so tasty, it was super fresh and sweet.

Let's start with the first dish........

Gigantic cockles from Sabah, fresh, a bit tough but yummy.

Japanese snails another lovely shelled seafood it was chewy and interesting great.

"Soon Hock" also known as Mable Goby fish simply delicious with a simple soy sauce steamed serving.

The only non seafood dish on the table, a crunchy Kai Lan.

Our second steamed fish Grouper fish good but not as smooth as the Soon Hock.

What a wonderful dinner at Selayang.

Oh Nee 芋泥 the Great Yam Dessert @ Heong Kee Seafood, Selayang Jaya

Mum is staying with us in KL and Sunday is a day she will not cook for us and I have to bring my family out for dinner. Being from a Teochew family I thought I would bring mum & the family for something Teochew. I thought of Oh Nee (芋泥), a rare & great Teochew dessert and know of a place that serves good Oh Nee.

This is the place, Restoran Heong Kee Seafood located at Selayang Jaya 1. It was crowded with patrons both at the outside and the inside of the shop.

Curry Fish Head was spicy and delicious. Not that coconut milky but just right for the taste buds.

LaLa clam soup with wine was also interesting despite that the clams were small in size.

Stir fried Kangkong does not look as good as those we had in Phuket but that is Malaysian Morning Glory.

Mongolian Pork Rib tasted good with pepper flavour and juicy.

Tofu with minced pork meat was a favourite for my boys. Zuyi love his concoction of this dish, a bit of curry and the white rice.

Oh Nee, a Yam dessert with gingko nuts on top that requires substantiate time to prepare before it is served. It was worth a while to wait and it was superbly delicious. RM15.00 for this bowl of Oh Nee.

This was the crowd at the outside of the shop.

We enjoyed all these dishes, they were wonderful and a worthy trip indeed.
