Batu Pahat - Kampung Segenting

Kampung Segenting is located in Batu Pahat; a little fishing village by the sea, about 30 minutes from downtown Batu Pahat. I believed people usually go there to pray in the Chong Long Gong Temple and thereafter a scrumptious seafood dinner. Chong Long Gong is a beautiful seaside temple where in the olden days, fishermen prayed at this temple before going out to sea.

It is a darling little village. The villagers live a simple life. Very friendly folks.
 

Enjoyed watching this young man making fried ice-cream. Just gotta try it!

Miss Blue Eyes gets her meals at this yellow house. The owners said that she turned up one day and they started feeding. This is where she calls home.

Such a pretty girl

Lovers' Bridge
It is a pretty cool bridge. It's like walking to no where land!




So many seafood restaurants to choose in this village so we chose Ship Village.
