Worm or Mites dropping from your ear at Sekinchan

Went to Sekinchan and friend brought us to a place where you "steam" your ear and you will see mites dropping from your ear.


Step 1: putting herbs on to the hot plate

Step 2: putting the cone at your ear, 5 minutes each ear



Step 3: Look at the mites that drop from your ear...the white mites


This is how the mites/worm looks like

Sekinchan


We tried to explore the new highway to Sekinchan instead of using the Sungai Buloh road to Kuala Selangor.  Unfortunately we still need to use Sungai Buloh and exit to Ijok. Sigh!! 

We only found the highway after we returned from Sekinchan which is exit from Rawang and there is a turning to left to Kuala Selangor. To reached Kuala Selangor only half an hour.
Sekinchan is famous for padi fields.

We had lunch at a Chinese restaurant, we waited for more than one and half hour due to one of the chef had a minor accident.  Sorry can’t recall the name. It was a famous restaurant for locals.

Mostly home cooked food. We ordered shark meat soup, fried shrimps, fried brinjal, stewed cat fish, fried stingray and their famous deep fried squid  (apparently this squid is with hard bone and no cholesterol according to the chef)  It was worth waiting for the food.

Boiled shark meat and fish ball soup

Deep fried brinjal
 
"Similar to Squid" but with hard bone
 
 The end result from the squid - "deep fried squid"


After lunch, we visited the beach front. We bought a kite at RM15 and the wind was so strong that the kite can easily fly.   There is an old tree house where you can seat at the hammock to relax.

 


On our way back, we stopped by the Cendol Bakar near Ijok.   We always passed by and were curious what is this cendol bakar.  There is a drive thru lane for you to take-away the cendol.  We tried the normal cendol bakar and durian cendol. The durian cendol is a lot better.
What do you mean by cendol bakar? It is the gula Melaka@sugar which was roasted to give better aroma and taste.

 
 
Feel free to explore Sekinchan. Day trip should be sufficient.

Nature Park at Kuala Selangor and Padi field at Sekinchan

We visited the Nature Park at Kuala Selangor on 21st May 2011.  We arrive at the nature park around 8.45am. The first thing we noticed is that the nature's park is lack of maintenance. The signage’s to the park was broken and even the wooden bridge can't be use anymore. We had picnic at one of the booth. We packed nasi lemak, eggs, steamed cocktails and fruits.  Luckily the monjkeTook us two and half hours to complete entire walk. We saw wild monkeys along the way. Visited the mangroves area and saw the male and female crabs and mudskipper.  I don't recommend to visit the nature's park as nothing much to see and a lot of mosquitoes even we use the insect repellent is useless.  

Female Crab which is red in color.
Male crab which is blue in color.
Watch tower.
They don't even have notice to inform the maximum number of people that are allowed to go up.
View from the watch tower.

We saw wild monkeys everywhere. They would not snatch your things or disturb you. Therefore there is no need to be scared.
We completed entire walk at 11.30am and then we head to Kuala Selangor Fishing Village for lunch. We ate at Restaurant Jeti. Eight of us ate and the bill came up to RM192. We had 2 kgs of crabs which cost us RM45 per kg. We had steam crabs and another is salty egg fried crabs. We had salt and pepper deep fried squid, two vegetables, fried kam heong mantis prawn, lala fried mee hoon and lala soup.   The lala soup was disappointing.  Overall the food was not great.   Overall the rating is 2/5. Considering 5 is best.

After lunch, we head up to Sekinchan which is 45 minutes away from Kuala Selangor to visit the padi fields. A lot of couples come here to take their wedding pictures. The scenery was beautiful.
We drove around Sekinchan Fishing Village.

We head to Ijok for beggar chicken at New Beggar's Delicious Restaurant.  You got to order the beggar chicken in advanced.  We had beggar chicken which cost RM42, one plate of vegetable at RM10, sweet and sour crab at RM36 per kg( cheaper than Kuala Selangor and a lot nicer), Fish soup at RM32, Steam Telapia with Thai Style at RM20. Total bill came up to RM155. Overall this place is a lot better than Kuala Selangor.

Beggar Chicken - overall rating 3/5


Sweet and Sour Crab


Fish Soup - overall rating 2/5(too much starch on the fish)
