Janda Baik, Pahang

Janda Baik is a very beautiful Malay village located not far away from Genting Highland. I simply love this village because it is so near to KL town but yet a very good place to relax our mind and keep us away from the noisy and hectic lifestyle of KL town.

In 2010, I have visited a few of the resorts in the Janda Baik Village and each one of it has its own unique “story and scenery” to be offer to each of its guest.



Tanarimba






Hawa Resort
This resort is suitable for team-building activities but lack of beautiful scenery






Cherengin Hills Convention & Spa Resort
The resort is new and beautiful but too commercial for those who look for “kampong” lifestyle like myself



Centella Asiatica
They offer chalets and camping facilities. A lot of people went there for fishing.









Al-Sakinah Eco Resort
They offer river lodges, suites and villa. I simply love the environment there – relaxing and full of beautiful scenery.















Wadi Samrah

They offer villa and banglo. There are also fruit trees surrounding this area and during fruit season, guest can enjoy the fruit here for free.

Lunch at Hung Kee Restaurant, Taman Shamelin

I tried out the Wantan Mee with Roasted Duck at Hung Kee restaurant last Saturday after my business appointment around Taman Shamelin.

I like to roasted duck meat as its taste almost the same as my favourite Sze Ngan Chye roasted duck in Petaling. The mee texture is just nice but I do not like the wantan and its soup as they put too much pepper in it.

All that cost me RM6.00 which I think the price is reasonable as roasted duck usually a bit costly.

The restaurant is located opposite Pudu Ulu Park with address as below:

18-20, Jalan 4/91,
Taman Shamelin Perkasa
56100 Cheras, Kuala Lumpur

Jungle Walking at Wawasan 5, Pusat Bandar Puchong

We found this trail after reading the following blog - jungletrekkinginpuchong.blogspot.com/

Direction:
If you are coming from Sunway toll or Kinrara or Bukit Jalil, you would notice IOI Mall on your right hand side. Keep to your left after IOI Mall. Look for signboard Taman Wawasan, when you saw Mobil petrol station on your left. Continue to keep left. You would notice EON Bank on your left after Mobil. When you see a big signboard Pusat Bandar Puchong, turn left after the signboard. You will see Bomba station on your left. Go straight till you reach the first traffic light. Then right after the traffic light. You are on the right way if you found a very big field on your left. Go straight till you notice Speedmart 99 on your left and then you must turn left. Yes, you have reached your destination as show in my picture as below.

The highest peak that we are allows to climb is 140m (We measure the height of our climb using Casio Watch Model 3173). Many trails have been blocked and I do not know why. We never able to reach the waterfall as mentioned in jungletrekkinginpuchong.blogspot.com. The trail to the waterfall has been blocked, perhaps!









Below photo shows two trail that you may take. We took the trail on the right.



The watch shows that we have climb 65m from the starting point (first photo).







The photo below shows the peak ie 140m from starting point. We have done it in about 40 to 45 minutes.



This one shows the trail that leads us down the hill.

















The trail can be very slippery after raining day, so it is advisable to bring along a walking stick if you are “new” in jungle trekking like myself.

Happy Walking! And let’s walk for better health!
