Tanjung Sepat (2)

Finally my second post of Tanjung Sepat is up. Yes I'm busy but no more rantings (no time to do so lol) Just kidding Back to the topic, this post I gonna highlight on the Lover's Bridge :)

The local shop
It's located beside Lover's Bridge. I dunno how to "address" this shop.. perhaps it's omiyage/souvenir shop? they sell a lot of things- mainly local products, foods, beverages.. and "lap chap" stuffs. The decoration is attractive, like 24/7 in Chinese New Year mood :D merry and blissful The children also love to buy ice-cream and ice pop from this shop too!

#1 The prosperity god!
#2 The traditional malt candy
#3 Flower's decorations of the shop :)
#4 There's a place where we can take photos with  a lot of traditional old stuffs prepared by the shop's owner.
#5 The wishing tree

Ocen Seafood Restaurant
It's located right next to the bridge. I guess everyone who has been to Lover's Bridge will have meal at here. This shop is kinda famous, with the delicious seafood they serve and the price is reasonable as well. However, I feel very disappointed because the service is extremely bad. Perhaps the WORST service I ever received. My friend and I dined in when the uncle (boss maybe?) was having lunch with his family. Then he approached us and asked us what to eat.. below is the conversation between us:

Uncle               : "What you wanna eat?" disdainfully*
My friend         : "Any recommendations?"
Uncle               : "Here got NOTHING SPECIAL."
My friend and I: "Hmm......." 
Uncle               : "Faster... I'm having lunch." WTH YOU THINK YOU ARE OUR CEO?
My friend:        : "then we want fried oyster and... lala."
Uncle               : "Okay oyster.. lala.. how to cook it?"
My friend         : "Here often cook with what?"
Uncle               : "Hmm... whatever you like.. you want fishball soup?"
Me                   : Okay okay fishball soup" cuz the uncle is getting more impatient
Uncle               : "So I repeat your order. Only fried oyster and fishball soup."
Me                   : "Just now we also ordered LALA."
Uncle               : "Oh. you didn't say wanna cook with what, so I assume you DON'T WANT LALA." 
My friend         : "We want steamed lala.. that's all." DAMN YOU UNCLE

LMAO I don't know what's wrong with the uncle. Maybe his shop is famous so he acts SHIT. I forgive him because I ASSUME he's having ANDROPAUSE. 

Fine.. apart from the shitty service, the food is actually not bad.

The Lover's Bridge
Actually I don't know why it's called Lover's Bridge.. perhaps there's a love story behind this? :) Here are some shots of Lover's Bridge.

Tanjung Sepat definitely worth a visit =) Half day tour is enough to enjoy the serene and peaceful lil town.

Tanjung Sepat

Finally I have the chance to visit Tanjung Sepat, after hearing so many positive feedbacks from my friends. Normally what I heard about Tanjung Sepat are "the seafood is cheap.", "the Lover's Bridge got nothing to see, and it's longggg and horrribbblleeeee.", "hey you know there's a mushroom farm where you can even see them planting Ling Zhi?", and again "the seafood is cheap and delicious"........hmm so I gonna see these by myself lol. So I tried to google about Tanjung Sepat and the itinerary of one day trip. And ta-da! I have been there by myself. Therefore I would like to begin my post by introducing this.... 
:

HAI YEW HENG

You know why? It is simply because every time I google about Tanjung Sepat, this will pop out. So I guess Tanjung Sepat trip is definitely incomplete without............. the soft and fluffy steamed bun of Hai Yew Heng. Their buns are popular, fast-selling and of course YUMMY. They even sell their buns in other places because I could see their vans on the way to Tanjung Sepat, but I don't know the exact places they go, maybe some kopitiams lol. 

#1 
#2 The most popular ones are pork bun and green beans bun! I've tried them, and they're really delicious! 
#3
#4 The owner is very friendly, she allows me to take photographs on the process of making buns! 
 #5 Cute right?
 #6 These irresistible little buns, I wanna have more!

The second place I wanna introduce is Kwo Zha B Coffee. It is located next to Hai Yew Heng and run by a friendly family. They plant and manufacture fresh and fragrant coffee =D I've tried the kopi-O, not bad I would say. 

#1
#2 There is a scent of coffee bean in the air once I step into the shop. They demonstrate the way to "fry" the coffee bean and the process of making it.

#3 Another famous shop in Tanjung Sepat.

After this I head to the Ling Zhi farm as mentioned by my friend earlier. There are some information on different mushrooms, but nothing special to me. Anyway I have tried the Ling Zhi juice produced by them, claimed to have beneficial effect on body systems. The result is my friend and I can't even finish up the small bottle of Ling Zhi juice. It is toooo bitter. Gosh but Chinese traditional medicine always tastes bitter right..yucks

#1 Ling Zhi (hard like wood, out of my expectation LOL)
#2
 #3 The bitter juice. Perhaps you can give it a try :P

#4
#5 Dried Ling Zhi, used for improving health.. like usual traditional medicine, boiled with water from idk how many bowls of water until idk fewer bowls of water.
