Hello Again
We knew it had been a while, and we truly meant it when we said it had been a difficult month. October 2022 did not treat us kindly.
First came a lower back strain, which slowed us down. Then, just as things began to improve, we caught COVID 19 again. This time, I spent a full week in isolation—from the 11th to the 17th. Thankfully, Cat was spared.
The second infection turned out to be the Omicron variant, which felt like a bad flu. It was nothing compared to the miserable Delta strain we experienced in November 2021, but it still meant rest, patience, and time away from everything.
Back on the Road
By the weekend, we had recovered enough—both physically and mentally—to venture out again. We decided there was no better way to reset than a long drive to Tanjung Sepat, our favourite seafood spot.
Along the way, we made a quick stop at Mimi Dragonfruits to stock up. Then it was back on the road.
A Seaside Town That Feels Familiar
Tanjung Sepat was once a quiet fishing village. Today, it still carried that charm, though the fishing industry had slowed due to pollution in the Straits of Malacca.
During weekdays, the town felt calm. But on weekends, it came alive with tour buses and visitors.
We had actually visited just a month before, but an unfortunate mistake meant we lost that video. This time, we started fresh.
Trying Something New
Instead of our usual Baywatch Restaurant, we decided to try Sin Hock Heng Huat.
We ordered:
- Sambal Fried Squid
- Sweet and Sour Fish
- Sizzling Beancurd
- 2 servings of white rice
- 2 glasses of iced Chinese tea
The bill came to RM88.60 (≈ USD19/EUR19).
The meal was good, but honestly, our taste still leaned toward Baywatch next door.
A Short Walk in the Heat
After lunch, we drove to the fisherman’s wharf and walked along Lover’s Bridge. The heat, however, was intense. We made it to the end, took in the view briefly, and quickly turned back.
On the way, we spotted a charming mural of an elderly couple taking a selfie—simple, sweet, and worth the stop.
Traffic and Small Detours
Our plan to stop for coffee at ZUS Coffee did not go well. We tried two branches—Bukit Tinggi and Shah Alam—but parking was impossible at both.
In the end, we settled for drinks at a Petronas station. Not ideal, but it worked.
One Last Stop
Before heading home, we made one final stop at Guitarlicious. I had been eyeing a guitar there for a long time, and this felt like the right moment to finally follow through.
Looking Ahead
It was not a perfect day, but it was meaningful. After a tough month, simply getting back out there felt like a victory.
We promised to bring you more soon—next up, a visit to Brickfields for Deepavali.
Stay tuned!
