The last day of a long weekend... and what better way than to head out to Kuala Selangor for our first makan trip of 2013, as announced by our convenor, James Sia - Janji Ditepati!
Who would have thought that we would spend more than an hour here and several Colemans filled with freshly caught seafood!
By 1pm, the stomachs were rumbling and the beer-thirsty men (I'll leave it to you to decide which one) finally decided to move on the the main agenda - lunch!
And so, the RSC convoy headed back towards Kuala Selangor for the much anticipated seafood makan-makan.
Again, thanks to Jay Ooi, we were treated to a seafood lunch at a local joint (not the usual ones on stilts by the river bank, which targets local tourists).
All in all we had 10 dishes, lots of delicious spicy sambal (courtesy of Bobby Ho's home made recipe) and a sufficient number of cold Tiger beers!
But, the shopping was not done. After lunch, a small 'breakaway' group descended upon another local shop for more local delights... this time, led by James Sia!
Finally, at almost 4pm, we hit the road to head home... but, alas, we were caught in a traffic jam! After crawling along for almost 15 minutes, we finally found the source of the jam - It's called 'Cendol Bakar'!!
According to the Berita Harian write-up on this place - 'resepi kami menggunakan gula merah yang dibakar terlebih dahulu' - There you go!
Next makan trip... hmmm... I hear the words 'Ijok Beggar Chicken' whispered in the wind...
A group of 14 adults and 5 kids took to the road, and the first stop was the Tanjung Karang fisherman's wharf, recommended by Jay Ooi.

You would never imagine that a local cendol stall would need RELA officers to keep the traffic in order! Oh well, I guess someone has to check it out... and Charles Lim volunteered!
