PETALING JAYA, July 13 — Food. The first thing that comes to most people’s mind when they are in Seremban.
I’ve been in the town on more than one occasion but never really had a chance to explore its cuisine.
Many colleagues of mine — from Seremban obviously — always tell me good things about the food, and after spending a whole day eating there, it is safe to conclude that they were not lying.
The journey
I took off from Klang at 7am, taking a slow drive with the Mazda CX5 2.2 Diesel, with a cup of black coffee and Wham!’s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go and other tracks from the 1980s.
The two-hour drive along the 85-kilometre route was quite perfect — good music, great car and a pleasant view.
The trunk road took me through Telok Panglima Garang, Jenjarom, Banting and Labu before I arrived in Seremban.
Pasar Besar Seremban
A conversation with someone who grew up in Seremban will end up with “Pasar Besar Seremban is a must go” and so I started my visit there.
I made a beeline to the Seremban Beef Noodle stall and ordered its signature dish.
Rarely do I get attracted to a stall overhyped by many foodies but the slices of beef and sauce hit all the right notes.
