This blog is created to document my experiences in Tanjung Leman. I am currently working in a multi national corporation in Johor.
It all started with an intention to make a family trip to Mersing on a Saturday in April 2011. We were approaching the Mersing district when I decided to stopped for a sugarcane drink in a place called Felda Sungai Ara. I had a chat with a young man while waiting for him to prepare the drink. From there on I diverted my destination to Tanjung Leman.
In Tanjung Leman after a day of swimming and playing on the beach I finally stopped by a Malay restaurant for dinner and met a fisherman called Salleh. He had just came back from sea with about 20 Kg of King Prawn. Bought some prawn from him and he offered some more silver pomfret. After buying the seafood, we went back to Skudai. It's the freshest fish I had ever tasted in Johor Bahru. From there on I came to know a lot about the length of months fishes in the Johor Bahru market are kept.
The following week I made another trip and I've been hooked to that place until now. Nowadays I travel to Tanjung Leman every weekend to collect fish in the sea together with Salleh.
Visit my web pages if you are interested in the fish, crustacean and mollusca species found in this area.
