A short trip to Broga

We have not visited Broga for quite some time and since it was the school holiday, we went there one evening. Located after Semenyih town, the place is now getting popular with visitors coming here for the food and to enjoy the greenaries. For a small town, there are many restaurants and bus loads of visitors come here especially during the weekends. The town is also popular with hikers and runners like the hash house harriers.

The town is also nearby to Nottingham University and the general location now is developing very fast.

When you reach the town, the largest place is the Chinese temple. Apparently a lot of people come here to ask for 4D and lottery numbers. I was surprised to also see a huge park built beside the temple. It is massive and look impressive. It has a large statue of the monkey god and a large suspended bridge.

The hills surrounding Broga provides a very pleasant view.

A little hazy though

Restaurant in a fish pond

Near the town, there are a number of fish ponds which rears tilapia. A number of these ponds also allow fishing (with a charge) and have a small restaurant selling the fish. This particular one cooks the fish in a foil in various types. I have eaten here quite a few years ago and it's actually quite good. Gotta come back again soon.

The Broga town is actually made up of a few shops only. Most people here tap rubber. So, it's actually a very quaint town but becoming touristy as the locals are starting to see the money from visitors.

So, if you have some time during the weekend, it is a pleasant drive, enjoy the small town life and have some nice inexpensive food. What more do we want?

Until the next time, cheers.
