The typical Malaysian who isn't a stereotype: Lifegroup outing to Kg. Kuantan & Kuala Selangor, Selangor

Took me 2 hrs to write 3 blog posts. My former lifegroup (I left it for Jun Yan's lifegroup instead) planned an outing to Selangor last Sat. We wanted to eat dinner & see fireflies there. We departed from church to Ijok at around 3.30 pm & arrived there at about 5 pm. We ate dinner at 5.30! This was the earliest I had dinner before.. This is because we wanted to see the fireflies as early as possible before it becomes too dark. Our meal was a 10 course meal! Even more than a wedding dinner's meal which is only 8. Here are the pics of the food :

This is the famous "Beggar Chicken. Baked in herbal soup, the tender meat just falls off the bones & it tastes just wonderful! *drools*

Pork trotters. Most of it were fats..

Baked duck. This tastes great as well..

Glutinuous rice with lotsa salted egg yolks.. Mmm good!

The steamed fish cooked with sour & spicy sauce.

It was very fresh as the flesh was soft & had no fishy smell.

Prawns in some kind of spicy sauce.

Crab cooked with ? sauce. I forgotten how did it taste like.

The dish was completed with a hammer.

Vegetables.. (The one & only vegetable in all the 10 dishes)

Pig stomach soup. It was extremely peppery.

It almost burned my throat after drinking 2 bowls but it was good :)

This was the final dish. Fruits..

After dinner, we went to Kuala Selangor to see the fireflies. It was about 7 when we left the restaurant. I forgot to mention the restaurant's name. It was called "New Delicious Beggar Chicken Restaurant". It was another 90 mins ride to the place. There was various signboards regarding the fireflies. We had to park outside the entrance of the place. We had to walk from there. It was RM 40 per boat & only 4 persons allowed on 1 boat. The boat ride was great & the fireflies were beautiful. They were all on a tree & when their lighted ends flashed, the tree looked like a Christmas tree! It's impossible to take pictures of the fireflies because it was dark & if you used flash, you would only be able to see a very bright light. The boatman said that if special lens were used, then it would only be able to capture them clearly. After the boat ride, we went back home. The outing was tiring yet but memorable & exciting!
