0630 in the morning, we went to a famous curry mee stall at the road side of Air Itam for breakfast. It was my first time seeing the seller squatting down in the floor to heat up the soup with charcoal fire. The taste of the curry was nice and the spicy level is like 7/10.
0745 we started the hike up to the Air Itam dam through tar road. The road was pretty steep but it was not too far before we reached the dam.
We have seen quite a lot of interesting plants and fruits along the way to balik pulau through the orchard.
We saw dead body of a gibbon on the floor beside the tar road along the way. Hope it rests in peace.
This was an interesting letter box at the front of a house at Batu Itam.
We were told by the local that this stair case shown in picture below was mounted on the big tree so that people can climb up to the tip of the tree to get honey from the hives.
1100 we reached the town of balik pulau and take our lunch at the wet market food stall beside the bus station. It was famous with its nutmeg juice and the pasembur which taste pretty good. We took the bus back to kek lok si at the cost of RM 2.70.
This was a great and educational workout over the first day of long weekend!
