2. Semenyih, Selangor, Malaysia
A day trip to Semenyih is never complete without summiting Broga Hill and savoring the famous ikan bakar, or, grilled fish. Between us – up until now, this has been the favorite weekend combo of only a handful of experienced travelers. We suggest you start hiking at around 6.15 a.m. so that you can catch the gorgeous sunrise.
You can end the hike by 8.00 a.m. and then make your way to the Chinese temple area to kill time (there is a drawbridge, a small park and a few stalls selling fresh fruits and local kuihs; the spicy papaya pickle is a must-try) until the restaurant opens at 10.00 a.m. The ikan bakar at Broga is the best thing you can ask for a brunch – take our word for it. As far as Oceania tourist secrets go, this is probably the best-kept one so far.
