Kuala Selangor Getaway
We took a day off work for something important—a routine medical check up at KPJ Tawakkal Specialist Hospital. Since being diagnosed with hypothyroidism years ago, we had been keeping a close eye on things. Thankfully, apart from needing to manage our weight better, everything checked out fine.
Relieved, we decided to take the day further and head out of the city.
A Drive to the Coast
We set off for Kuala Selangor, about 70 kilometres northwest of Kuala Lumpur. After a little over an hour, we arrived at Pasir Penambang, a quiet riverside area known for its seafood and local charm.
Kuala Selangor itself felt relaxed and coastal, where the river met the sea. It was known for fresh seafood, history, and nature, and we were ready to enjoy it.
Seafood and a Slow Walk
We walked into Restoran Makanan Laut Jeti for lunch. An hour later, we came out with full stomachs and happy hearts. (Be sure to check out our video on that seafood feast!)
After lunch, we took a gentle stroll along the area, letting the pace of the town slow us down.
Simple Stay by the River
We then walked to our hotel for the night—Hotel Le Shore. Our original room cost RM93 per night (≈ USD20/EUR20), but we quickly realised it had no window.
Being a little claustrophobic, we chose to upgrade to a room with a window for an additional RM89 (≈ USD19/EUR19).
It was a simple space, but comfortable enough for a short stay.
Evening Wind Down
The afternoon passed quietly. We organised photos and videos, then took a short nap. Later in the evening, we headed out again for dinner at River View Seafood Restaurant. (You can catch that meal in our previous video too.)
It was a calm and easy way to end the day.
Morning in Kuala Selangor
The next morning, we woke up and walked to Warung Dimyati for breakfast. The stall was famous for its colourful Roti Canai Pelangi.
- We tried the blue roti and pink roti
- Both of us had the unique “telur goyang” (half boiled eggs served on top)
- We added milk tea, local cakes, and takeaway Nasi Ambeng
Breakfast came to RM45.50 (≈ USD10/EUR10).
For those curious, Nasi Ambeng was a comforting dish of rice served with chicken, vegetables, noodles, and other rich, savoury sides.
Heading Home
After breakfast, we returned to the hotel, checked out, and enjoyed a leisurely drive back to Kuala Lumpur.
Looking Ahead
Kuala Selangor had more to offer than we had time for. Next time, we hoped to return with Brendan and explore places like:
- Bukit Melawati
- Kuala Selangor Nature Park
- Firefly Park
- Sky Mirror and Blue Tears
For now, we left with full hearts, simple memories, and plans to return again someday.
Stay tuned!
