A day out fishing

Life in KL is pretty routing and stressful. Over a family dinner, I mentioned that whether anybody is interested to go fishing. Ah...... the ladies said, boring mah!.... sitting and waiting all day for fishes to take the bite, better to fish in the wet market, just choose and take home.

I announce that this fishing trip is different, so hearing me out, all four sets of the family members got excited and the trip is on. I have upload some pictures for you and they are of video format and the quality is reasonable only. Enjoy.........

Local Holiday in Pantai Remis Perak

Last Chrismas, my family together with some family friends guided by a fler living in Pantai Remis visited this coaster town. We check into a budget hotel and immediately went for seafood hunting which is all about this trip. It was about 6 pm and you can get all sort of seafood from the roadside hawkers and the price is very reasonable.

The next morning we went straight to the beach after breakfast to look for "sand prawn" which is made famous by the TV food blogger - "ah xian". Mining for the "sand prawns" is difficult maybe because we are not at it or "ah xian" has exaggerated. Never mine, we did managed to catch 2 nos for our curiosity.

We then went to the "Turtle Sanctuary" where information of the turtles were presented in hard copies, live turtles swimming in the pools and a donation box is provided for visitors to help in the conservative program. We did contributed......

We then went on a fishing boat trip to a fish farm in the sea. They rear many type of fishes for the local market and we bought 6 nos for our dinner.

Pantai Remis to me is a small town with potential for local tourism cos the people is friendly, good beaches and the seafood is plentiful and cheap. I will visit this town again.

The above pictures presented are stills from a video format therefore the quality is only reasonable.
