Epi 12: One day trip in Selangor.

On the 22th February 2009, my family and I went for a one day bus tour in Selangor. This was the first time that we had no idea where we were going for a trip. Strange huh? Well, we were going to so called GOLD COAST in Malaysia. It was a new tourist attraction in our country, so not many people had visited there. Gold Coast was located in Sepang and it was still under development. At first, we were confused about this place because we thought Gold Coast only existed in Australia.

When everyone was on the bus, we are told by the tour guide that we would visit Gold Coast in the afternoon. In the morning, we visited some factories in Selangor. The first factory that we visited was Sai Kim Entreprise Sendirian Berhad, where the sea cucumber and fish products were wholesaled.

Sea cucumber.

Just look at my face expression and you will know how cold is the freezer room, where the fish products are kept fresh.

The biggest salty fish that I find in the freezer room.

After visiting Sai Kim Entreprise, we went to visit Malaysia largest chocolate paradise which was located near Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC). It was an extra agenda added by our tour guide. We, who supposed to have one day trip in Selangor, were heading to Kuala Lumpur to visit Cocoa Boutique. After that, we went back Selangor to visit a nutrition centre, where the health supplements were wholesaled. We attended a talk that was conducted by a nutritionist and she induced us to buy the health supplements. Well, my mum bought some of them because they were really much cheaper than the market price.

Two dragons made from chocolate. Cool huh?

My sister imitating the chocolate bunny. Cute? XD

After lunch, we went to visit few places such as soy sauce factory, dragon fruit garden and fish ball factory. Then, we were finally heading to Sepang Gold Coast. Upon reaching there, all of us could not stop with the "WAH" sound. It was beautiful indeed. Unfortunately, we only spent about 15 minutes there because there was a downpour. Urgh! I really hate this weather for being a party pooper. The Gold Coast was the main reason I came for this trip! T.T For now, just forget about it then. We will come some other day when the Gold Coast is fully developed.

After the disappointment, we went to visit a Hindu-Buddha temple in Banting before going for our dinner. We had dinner in a seafood restaurant - crab, fish, prawn, fried mee etc ALL my favourite! :)
We went back to KL around 8pm and I called it a day.

Fermented soy beans. Disgusting? But it really smells good.

The photos should look better if it is not cloudy.

Crystal blue sea. I guess so. XD

My footprint. The sand is really smooth.
