Things to Do  

The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse, Morib

 Wild_Orchid Says:  Atop the hill that can be seen from the Chinese temple stands a lighthouse. It is one of the few that are still in working order in Malaysia.The road to the top of the hill is a popular spot among locals for their morning walk or an evening jog. The view from the top is... 

Enjoy the Beach

Enjoy the Beach, Morib

 Wild_Orchid Says:  Grab a swim suit or just jump in with your long track-pants and a t-shirt. This neighbourhood local beach is not really famous for its clear blue water, but it is good enough for the kids to have a splash around.When we were there, the tide was very high, but apparently when... 

A Chinese Temple

A Chinese Temple, Morib

 Wild_Orchid Says:  After visiting the Mausoleum of the Sultan continue along this road and you will come to a small but beautiful Chinese temple. It is in bright red and stands alone on the side of the road.Across the road from this temple there is a rather famous restaurant that specialises... 

Sultan Abdul Samad's Mausoleum

Sultan Abdul Samad's Mausoleum, Morib

 Wild_Orchid Says:  The hills and rain forest around the quiet town of Jugra have been maintained as a forest reserve thus giving the area a quiet and stately charm that hints of its days when it was the centre of power for the Selangor sultanate.Drive up the hill on a tree-lined road and past... 

A good place for a Picnic

A good place for a Picnic, Morib

 Wild_Orchid Says:  At this old-style beach there is a large amount of shady, grassy areas suitable for a picnic. If you didn’t bring any food from home you’ll have no difficulty buying snacks and drinks from the stalls nearby. Finally, after all that munching and your tummy's all full, surely... 

Hang out with your Friends

Hang out with your Friends, Morib

 Wild_Orchid Says:  Another interesting feature of Morib beach is the covered structure that looked like a mini Roman amphitheatre. It had a circular stage area in the middle and the words “JOM KARAOKE” hand-printed in large lettering on a sign against the wall. I guess that weekends may see... 

White Sands

White Sands, Morib

 Wild_Orchid Says:  To our pleasant surprise the sand here was incredibly white and fine, making it a pleasure to walk on it barefoot. However our joy was shortlived as parts of the beach was marred by plastic bottles and discarded foam boxes, and other litter.Nonetheless, the kids enjoyed... 

Fishing

Fishing, Morib

 Wild_Orchid Says:  There were a few people using home-made fishing poles to fish here. One guys I saw was armed with some fresh squid as bait which he had spread out on a sheet of newspaper. At another spot another lady, her white tudung fluttering in the wind, perched on top of the crumbling... 

Kite Flying is Popular Here

Kite Flying is Popular Here, Morib

 Wild_Orchid Says:  We saw lots of adult and children flying kites here under the shady trees and around the playground. Our friend who had grew up nearby told us that kite-flying had been popular even back when he was a young boy. It appears to me that the sea-breeze was strong enough to make... 

Istana Bandar

Istana Bandar, Morib

 Wild_Orchid Says:  The small town of JUGRA was once the seat of power for the Selangor Sultanate but is now a collection of kampungs, durian & mangosteen orchards, coconut and palm oil estates. It is only a short drive from the town of Banting or the seaside beach of Morib. Istana Bandar was... 

Mosque with beautiful backdrop

Mosque with beautiful backdrop, Morib

 Wild_Orchid Says:  When driving from Banting town, you will come to a T-junction where there is a small mosque called Masjeed Al Mataqeen. The mosque is not unique in itself, but its setting at this junction with the backdrop of the hill and forest reserve and tall coconut trees lined in a row... 

Sultan Alauddin Mosque

Sultan Alauddin Mosque, Morib

 Wild_Orchid Says:  Just up the road from Istana Bandar is the Sultan Alauddin Mosque. Although less than a hundred years old, the mosque with its fascinating display of Moorish architecture and a graceful bronze coloured dome that catches the evening light exudes a peaceful ambience that is...

This restaurant is about 45 minutes drive from Petaling Jaya. Check my transportation tips on how to get there. This restaurant has been around for a while and my family and I make the drive at least once or twice a year, especially when we have relatives from overseas.

Staff from the factories around here such as Cognis, Toshiba, etc frequently drop by for lunch.

Favorite Dish: * Whole Fish served with special Mango sauce & Shredded Mango
* Marmite Crabs
* Sweet & Sour Crabs
* Golden brown fluffy Man Tao – ordered as a side dish to soak up the nyummy crab sauce but just as delicious when eaten on its own
* A hybrid vegetable which combines Kang-Kung with Sweet Potato Leaves-hot woked with garlic – simply divine!
* Large prawns steamed lightly with rice wine, egg white and special soya sauce, served with a topping of shredded ginger
* Hong Kong Kailan with Garlic

Served with rice, hot Chinese tea and some noodles.

Under RM190 for 6 adults and 5 children.
