Broga Hill, 26 April 2009

haiz..pathetic, i should have brought DSLR for the trip >.< the scenery up there is awesome!! anyway, i've managed to conquer Broga hill XD It's not really a tough course for me (yaya..the outcome of gym XD), throughout the trip, i've noticed most of the KL boys and girls were lacking of enough stamina to reach to the summit of the mountain. They kept resting on the half way at the same time 100 people were involved in this trip, thus congestion happened when we're reaching to the summit (the slopest site). In my opinion, it's rather easy to climb the top of mountain than 'tahan' yourself on the slope of the mountain with long queue, because it was seriously too many people =_= and the night was still dark. I didn't really enjoy the trip especially when i saw 70-80 people were on the peak of the mountain, i thought i've reached some sort of highland market place `.`

Few things you seriously need to take note if you're planning for this trip, TORCHLIGHT is a must to bring especially if you're planning to watch the sunrise at the broga's hill in the morning. You're going to take approximately 1 hour to reach the summit, please plan your time well (especially if you're bringing masses of friends for the trip =D). Well Camera is extremely recommended to be brought >.< you can snap alot of nice images up there, oh ya..bring along your tripod if you're going to shoot the morning scene (light source isn't enough up there). Lastly, please train your stamina before you're planning to conquer this hill, i would not suggest you to climb the hill if you're not well prepared, it'll be a burden for your friend to look after you especially during the night time. And of course, you can always try to climb this mountain in the morning (around 7-8 am).

Trip to Kampung Broga, Kajang (19/4/09)

It's not first time for me to visit Broga, i think i've been Broga for few times since this year. Broga has been a popular countryside village these days especially among the Kl people. With the rebuilt of Famous Relic Stone Temple as famous landmark in Broga, Alot of people intended to visit this temple for divine help / intervention. It is said that many people has stroke lotteries / 4Ds after visiting the temple.

Today i brought my secondary schoolmates to Broga with only one purpose, to hunt for fresh grilled fish. Ya!! Grilled fish is the popular cuisine you can find in Broga. You can find a few Grilled fish Restaurants along the way to Broga Temple, but those are just the normal grilled fish restaurant. The-one-you-must-try is located behind the Broga temple (there is a small narrow pathway at the left of the temple) named 石水烧鱼 (rock water grilled fish @@). The restaurant is located beside a big pond, you can observe alot of cars parked along the pondside.

'What makes the grilled fish so delicious?' One of my buddy asked me. hmm..fresh, the fish is killed and cooked on the spot..2ndly, the fish mud smell. you wouldn't taste any mud flavour inside these fish. Some people don't like to eat fish stomachs due to heavy mud smell (me), but i managed to finish all of them, =D Thirdly, they're using charcoal to 'bakar' the fish, thus the fish is hardly to be found overcooked, and they're excessively JUICY!! Therefore, it's quite normal for the customers to order 1 fish for 1 person. There are 10 different type of flavour, i like the Tom yum style and their bestseller style grilled fish!! X3

Oh ya, it's quite cheap to have lunch here =D 1 fish is approximately rm 10-15 (depends on how heavy / big the fishes are). They open from 11am till 5pm, rest on thursday. I suggest you all to come early, 11am -12pm, if not you would be going to wait for at least 30-60mins, plus no parking =D
