Seeing Sembilan II: Serene Seremban
Continued from here.
Rain started falling after we Titi, so we weren't sure if it was a good idea to proceed to Jeram Toi, a waterfall in a reserved forest. Told the bus driver to risk it. Armed with umbrellas, we walked in to the recreation area. Although it was drizzling, there were plenty of people in the water. But truth be told, Jeram Toi doesn't score high marks in natural beauty. The authorities had decided to cement the pool at the base of the falls with no objective the natural features. Irrigation locks and haphazard black water pipes are the main aesthetics. The water looked murky and stagnant with loads of people frolicking in it. Hmmmm. Some of the more adventurous risked the wet slopes to get to the higher waterfall. I just loitered around the main area. Towards the end, some of us did get into the water.
From Jeram Toi, we proceeded to Church of the Visitation, the oldest parish in the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur, dating back to 1848. The current church building is in Neo-Gothic style and has a pretty high belfry. Interestingly, the tabernacle seems to have some Minangkabau influence.
Before heading back to KL, we stopped for dinner at Restoran Min Kok. The restaurant is a huge rectangle with no pillars, obviously designed with banquets in mind. Food came in copious amounts and I think tasted pretty good for the price we were paying. It was a long day, but we all had fun.
