SEREMBAN in 24 Hours!

Seremban

Despite being only an hour away, the state capital of Negeri Sembilan is a town we’ve often overlooked, usually choosing to continue south to Melaka instead. For many KL folk, Seremban is simply a stop over on the way to Port Dickson.

Brendan was sleeping over at a friend’s house after attending a Halloween party, so it was just Cat and I leaving our condo at 9:15am.

Morning Errands

We had an appointment with Jordan at The Guitar Store in Taman Segar to pick up a small guitar amplifier. We arrived early, so we walked into Kaw Kaw Pakkopi next door for breakfast.

I had toast with half boiled eggs, while Cat tried the steamed bread. With drinks, breakfast came to RM24.40 (≈ USD/EUR5).

Just as we finished, Jordan texted to say someone was waiting for us at the store. We strolled over and met Jayx, who presented us with the Roland Cube 10GX — an old school guitar amp perfect for bedroom practice. I tested it, loved it, and paid RM600.00 (≈ USD128/EUR118).

We stored the amp in BiBi and began our drive to Seremban. Instead of the North–South Expressway, we opted for the Kajang SILK Highway and then the LEKAS Highway for a quieter, more peaceful drive.

Lunch in Seremban

We arrived in Seremban at 12:00pm and headed to The Nest Café, which had received rave reviews. Unfortunately, it was closed until evening. We walked across the street to survey the other eateries and eventually settled on Toast House Kitchen.

Please be sure to catch our upcoming video of our sumptuous meal there.

Checking In

After lunch, we walked back to BiBi and drove a short distance to Arena Premier Boutique Hotel. Be sure to catch our video of the hotel, our impressions of the room, and the buffet breakfast we had the next morning.

We settled in for the afternoon.

Dinner at Seremban Seafood Village

At sundown, with nothing planned, we decided to try Restoran Seremban Seafood Village, famous among locals for its grilled or baked crab. We knew we had to give it a go — and we hope you’ll catch the next video of our dinner there.

The Next Morning

We woke up early and headed down to the hotel’s namesake coffee house, Arena, for breakfast. After eating, we returned to the room, rested a bit, packed up, and checked out of Arena Premier Boutique Hotel.

We then made our way back to the LEKAS Highway for an uneventful hour’s drive home to Kuala Lumpur.

What’s Next

November will be a quiet month as we gear up for Christmas — but you never know what we’ll get up to, so stay tuned.
