Seafood in "Tg Sepat"

TANJUNG SEPAT

A small fishing village located beween Port Dickson and Banting. The villagers in Tanjung Sepat are predominantly of chinese origins, so it mean plenty of good "FOOOOOOoooooooood" around.

Apart from the food choices here, Tg Sepat is also a well known place for avid photog going around firing happily at idyllic fishing vessels and the famous "lovers bridge", the sole jetty in Tanjung Sepat.

Me and wifey who became amateur photog recently could not resist ourself from paying this place a visit after seeing all the fantastic photo in the net.

last saturday afternoon, It took us 1.5 hour to reach Tg Sepat with my 1000 cc car. I believed many people can do better than this.

The first thing that came to our senses was the smell! Fishy smell! :P The road was haphazard ly designed and narrow, so becareful if you awere driving a big car. You dun want to hit someone in a small town, don cha?

We managed to find lovers bridge in no time and we quickly set foot on it with our faithfull Alpha DSLR in hand. Tg Sepat did not disappoint us, it was a good place to do light photography of "idyllic fishing village" kind of stuff. You have anglers of all age and race spending time at their favourite spots on the jetty, horde of tourist walking up and down the jetty cracking silly "cold" jokes, and of course, we managed to see some avid photog too.

The only dissapointment of the trip was there is no sunlight on that day. so no sun also meant no sunset. The little sunlight that we had not managed to light up the horizon and what a waste, the sunset in Tg Sepat will looks magnificent.

Now how about the food choices in Tg Sepat?

from what i found out in blogsphere, The seafood Bak kut teh, er...or shall we rename it as "seafood teh" was popular and something new. but this place only serve lunch.

We bought a few hainam pau from "Hai Yew Hin", and it taste good but nothing spectacular. The dough does not contained bleach so the color is slightly yellowish, which is a good thing. But the service from the boss is nothing to shout about, he was watching his "taiwanese opera" while serving customers, which i think is quite rude.

We also miss out the special super fresh "tg Sepat" assorted fish ball as most of them are closed after we finish our photo outing. We will grap a couple of packets next time.

Seafood is a "MUST" in Tg sepat. You have a choice of traditional "OCEN" just beside the "lovers bridge" or "Baywatch" a couple of blocks away. They is another shop wihich is also famous for its crayfish, but i cannot remember what is the name, i will update the name later.

We patronised "OCEN" as it is one of the oldest joint around and it is just beside "lovers bridge" jetty.

The restaurant is built on stilts by the sea, and the hygene is so so. but much better when comparing to the ones in Klang.

We are lucky that we came just a bit earlier as the restaurant was supper full in just a couple of minutes later, the boss has to turn away many hungry customers.

2 of us order:

1. Drunken Prawn
2. Hot plate fried Oyster
3. Claypot seafood tofu
4. Stir fried vege.
5. 1 fresh coconut
6 1 "black dog" stout
(we know we ordered enough for 4 but there are only 2 of us)




The food come in fast(or we are just lucky!), the claypot tofu was super hot and sweet with crab meat and mushroom. the tofu was home made and it was so smooth and smell of bean just liked tofu fa. very good and the portion was quite big. very good for tofu lover.

The next one to come was the drunken prawn served in claypot. the portion was rather big too, with 8-10 medium large "pak har" brewed in superior stock in chinese wine with a lot of shredded cabbage, carrots and enoki mushroom. the prawn is super fresh and taste superbs either eat on its own or slightly dipped in light soya sauce. both of us cleaned out the whole claypot in no time.

Another highly recommended was the hot plate "fried oyster" or " ho chien", fuyoohh....the oyster was so fresh and tasty with egg and just the right amount of the gooey corn flour. Nowadays most fried oyster dish were full of egg and the gooey stuff minus the oyster! In OCEN, it is opposite, the oyster is served with quantity as well as quality. Highly recommended!

The stir fried vege was just normal lor....stir fried with garlic what do you expect? :) at least the vege is fresh.

All this feasting cost?? only RM 63.00 all in. It was super cheap! I really doubt you could get this price range in KL or even in Penang.

So the highlights of the day is? the magnificent food choice in Tg Sepat! and if you are a photog, the scenery of the village comes as a bonus.
