Pertang Trip

Pertang is a small town in Jelebu district, Negeri Sembilan. Recently, my father and I went there to do birdwatching. To start our day, we went to a chinese coffee shop behind the main street for breakfast.

This coffee shop is my favourite stop for breakfast because they serve good food. When we enter the shop, a lady will ask us in Hakka dialet d "oi sit ma kai" that "means what do you want to eat" and we can easily understand what she say because we are also Chinese Hakka.

They serve wide variety of food ranging from dim sum to noodle. This shop is famous for it's "Pan Mee" and their mouthwatering dim sum. A meal for two person shall not cost more than RM15.

Pan Mee (4/5)

Char Siew Pau (4/5)

Lomaikai (Steamed Sticky Glutinous Rice With Chicken) (3.5/5) Wonton Noodle (3/5)

After that, we continued our journey towards the south of Pertang. Along the way we will pass by some orchards and a Malay village until we reach our birding spot off the road. Over there, you can barely see a car pass by and you can't get telco signal here. This 28km route leads us to Batu Kikir, another town in Negeri Sembilan state.

Greater Racket-tail Drongo

To our surprise, more than 40 bird species were recorded in this trip. We also saw 6 Wreathed Hornbills flew above us. Some rare birds can be also found here, but must be careful of leeches, wild anmials and illegal poachers around.
