Today is back to work. It was a good Labor Day long weekend and I really needed the short break. We went to Kuala Selangor on Sunday morning for a short road trip. We made our way to Bukit Melawati to visit the fort. We actually passed by this place during our previous trip to Kuala Selangor but didn’t stop here so this time, we came here to sit on the tram that took us round the hill top.
Missy was so excited that she got to go on the tram. Luckily we were early and the crowd was still manageable. The tram stopped at 2 locations and we have to get off to check out the locations so that other visitors who were there earlier can take the same tram down. We then waited for the next tram to bring us to the next stop.
Posing at one of the cannons found on this hill. Can you spot something on the cannon?
Lovely view
The lighthouse that was built by the British in 1907
One of the many silver leaf monkeys that are found on this hill. Here is a mother monkey with her baby who is orange in colour.
It is fun to visit Bukit Melawati. The view is nice and you can even visit the museum to learn about the history of Kuala Selangor. If you don’t want to take the tram up (RM5 for adults and RM3.50 for children), visitors can walk up the hill and enjoy the scenery.
We then drove about 10 minutes away from the hill to the riverside for our lunch at Jeti Seafood Restaurant, located beside the river. I didn’t take any photos of our food though. We had salted egg prawns, stir-fried vegetables, stir fried cuttlefish, fried tung fun (noodles) with lala (clams) and braised yee mee (noodles). It was great having lunch while enjoying the breeze and looking out at the river.
