tanjung sepat

Handmade pau, old coffee roasters and a seafood lunch in a small coastal fishing town.

Best time
Any time of year. Arrive in the morning: the pau shops sell out by the afternoon, especially at weekends. Stay for the sunset, since the coast faces west.
How long
Day trip
Getting there
About 1.5 hours' drive from KL, via the ELITE or the SKVE to Banting, then the coast road south past Morib. There's no handy public transport.

A Chinese fishing town on the Kuala Langat coast, south of Morib. Klang Valley folk drive down for the handmade pau, the old coffee roasters and a seafood lunch, then stay for the sunset along the seafront.

Things to do

  1. The pau shopsWatch the buns being made by hand in the old shophouses, then buy a box for the car.Map ↗

  4. The farms around townMushroom farms, dragon fruit orchards and a cassava chip factory sell straight to visitors.Map ↗

Good to know

  • Many pau fillings contain pork, and the bak kut teh isn't halal. For a halal meal, the asam pedas places in Batu Laut are the easy choice.
  • Combine it with Morib and Jugra on the drive back.
  • Bring a cool bag for fresh seafood and mushrooms.
