As we arrived in Taiping, we used the app, Waze, to help us get to our hotel which is the Flemington Hotel.
(My dad wanted his face to be in the picture)
The view from the hotel was amazing. It was terribly hard to resist myself from taking pictures, so me, my sis and parents went down to the lake to get a closer look. Below are some pictures that I took.
The hotel manager suggested we visit a fishermen's town just not far away from where we were. He gave us a map and told us directions but in the end, we still needed the help of Waze to reach our destination.
The town is called Sepetang. It took us about 15-20 minutes depending on how fast one drives. The town is so small that every restaurant/house is in a walking distance so we walked around and explored the area until it was time for dinner. 
One dish that my mom ordered that was new to me is deep fried baby soft shell crabs. It was to be eaten whole which at first, wasn't very appetizing due to the looks of it. Now that I've tried it, I would totally recommend anyone who visits Sepatang, to try that dish. 
The locals there caught and fished for their food which isn't a very usual sight for someone who lives in a city, like me.
We settled for some seafood in a restaurant located just right beside the dock where most locals would go to have their meals.
The seafood was of course, very fresh and most of the dishes were cooked in a unique way.
We were seated at the most right of the restaurant which is right next to the lake. As we looked across, there were swarms of cranes resting in the mangrove. It was really such a fantastic sight to see. They would fly in groups as the sun started to set.
After our meal we headed back to the hotel to relax. I ended up watching a documentary about the World War 2 which was really nice because I learned a lot of facts about the war that I hadn't known. All in all, me and my family really enjoyed our stay and our little adventure.
